Quite the update - particularly when we began the month with @ICOnews declaring they were hopeful it would all go to plan. Well.

The Resolution calling for the adoption of the #UK adequacy decision (oeil.secure.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/fi…) was today rejected with 335+/350-/8o.

Great example how to quantify the degree to which 'dark patterns' dominate privacy consent interactions online (from @PrivoltaAds): @Google GDPR consent - opt-in takes: 1 click (2seconds) - opt-out takes 17 clicks (72 seconds) youtube.com/watch?v=y3xibD…


Favorite line from the @PrivacyPros summit so far, as part of @ICOnews research from an 8 year old: “I should only need to provide data that the app actually needs. It is nosey and rude to ask for more.” #DPC19


A federal judge just ruled that suspicionless searches of travelers’ cell phones, laptops, and other electronic devices when crossing the U.S. border are unconstitutional. I'm proud to support public interest legal work as an EFF member eff.org/AlasaadVictory

This news may be discouraging, but *it is not a reason to turn off or avoid 2FA.* The problem isn’t 2FA—the problem is companies misusing your information with no regard for your security and privacy expectations. eff.org/deeplinks/2019…

Shorter encryption debate: Them: Terrible things are terrible Us: Yes they are Them: Stop the terrible things Us: We don't know how to do that without side effects that would be even more terrible. Them: Just do it without causing the side effects.

Anyone on the path from your network to your DNS resolver (where domains are converted to IP addresses) can collect info on what sites you visit—potentially blocking content or spoofing your DNS to return an incorrect, even dangerous result. DoH can help. eff.org/deeplinks/2019…


I had fun writing this: bit.ly/2ml8jLM and thanks to @The_Pi_Hole for their input!

Independent security audits of VPN practices are no guarantee you’re completely safe using them, says EFF's @jenuhhveev “It doesn’t mean I can recommend them,” she says. “And it doesn’t mean you can trust them." time.com/5622139/best-v…

Knowing some arbitrary “value” of our personal information won’t fix our privacy problems. Requiring companies to respect everyone’s privacy rights, and giving individuals the power to hold those companies accountable when they don’t, will do much more. eff.org/deeplinks/2019…

the exploitation of personal data through social media is the corporate predation on the human desire to collaborate and communicate - an attack on human dignity. Some of these companies should be legislated out of existence. #ORGCon2019 #snowden

A remarkable admission from @ICOnews - its #cookies consent process has been wrong (‘doesn’t meet the required GDPR standard’) and it’s being urgently changed. [In fact, it’s probably not been to the required standard since 2011.] #gdpr #pecr
