@bolt - I just got almost given over one of your drivers in Budapest. I wanted to get in the car, he started to slowly move. Then I knocked on the passenger side while wanted to get in the car, and the guy sped up and left me there. No answer from customer service.

Have you ever read a privacy policy? It meant to give transparency and comfort to you what is happening to your data. Well, read a few ones…

[Istvan Lam @istvanlam]

All Big Tech is promising great privacy, but the very basic fundamentals of those companies relies on your data. It is a joke when they tell “We respect your privacy, click here to Accept All”. B***hit.

Hintertüren in Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselte Systeme einzubauen, ist eine gefährliche Idee, da dies die globale Cyber-Sicherheit dramatisch schwächen und Grundrechte der Bürger weltweit bedrohen würde. @Tresorit https://t.co/0KFf18eLHe

Whilst we love @Spotify’s approach to storytelling, we believe that personal data is best kept encrypted. https://t.co/mcw0ZWK9pv

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

A new study suggests behavioral (aka creepy) advertising only increases publisher ad revenues by 4%.

So, an alleged Chinese spying company is banned to distribute an alleged US spying company's app? Interesting...

Huawei now banned from pre-installing Facebook on its phones https://t.co/CMG5rmBlFY

The proposed NY Privacy Act would require businesses to act as "data fiduciaries", a term meaning they'd be legally barred from abusing consumer data. Allegedly, #Facebook threatened to shut down in NY if the bill gets introduced. The future is private?

[WIRED @WIRED]

If passed, the New York Privacy Act would give residents there more control over their data than in any other state. It would require businesses to put their customers’ privacy before their own profits. https://t.co/PCYSTJEhna

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

A Chinese "smart city" database was found to be accessible over the web w/out a password. Data included citizens' ethnicity & "attractiveness".

As smart cities develop in other countries, are the right safeguards in place to protect citizens? Likely not.

It's been a year since the #GDPR took effect and opened a new era in data privacy.

Check out the webinar below, where our CEO Istvan Lam and Daniel Catteddu, CTO of the Cloud Security Alliance discuss the key learnings.

@DuckDuckGo totally agree, but there is a way to store data and employees still can’t access its content, by using end-to-end encryption. Spoiler alert: Snapchat is not end-to-end encrypted.

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

Snapchat employees have abused internal tools to access user data including phone numbers, Snaps, location info, & more.

A reminder there are real people behind apps you use, & unless they never store data (like DuckDuckGo), those people may access it.

LOL it turned out that Google's CTF team won Facebook's CTF (by solving ALL the challenges btw)!!

And now they are trolling the #fbctf scoreboard by redirecting users to their Google CTF website...

(We finished 5th btw by solving 27/33 challenges.)

[Istvan Lam @istvanlam]

@maxschrems Congratulations for that!

So, where is "future is private" #zuckerberg...?People should see, that Facebook tells whatever people want to hear - but keep on doing the same thing, invading all #privacy

[NBC News @NBCNews]

A lawyer for Facebook argued on Wednesday that its users had no expectation of privacy when using the social network, pushing for a judge to throw out a class-action lawsuit related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. https://t.co/DNx4BCfCev

interesting discussion with @BorisJohnson at #SEF19 about #brexit. He started “today it is not a bad time to be out of London”
