This is clearly a problem already and does not have any straightforward solutions.

Wow, this article seems to be correct in terms of Chinese apps currently having the top 3 spots in the US App Store: Temu, CapCut, TikTok. “The No. 1 downloaded app in the U.S. and Canada in the first quarter was the Chinese mail order app Temu.”

A couple of approximations that have helped me over the years to have memorized: • A 1,000 sample of an unknown yes/no question has error bars ~±3% and 100 ~±10% (at 95% confidence) • 1 standard deviation in a normal distribution contains ~2/3 and 2 ~95% What about you?

My 4 yo daughter insists on reading “Super Thinking” by @lilbunnyfuted @yegg before she goes to bed Watch out folks, here she comes…
@yegg Why do so many replies have a far right/Russian bot vibe
Great example of how privacy-preserving business models can flourish on the web.... Just as gasoline-based vehicles are going away -- so will "surveillance capitalism" business models...
Proving all the skeptics wrong, we've been profitable since 2014 and today, our revenue exceeds $100 million/yr, without ever tracking our users. We're using these resources to build new ways to give users even more privacy for free, hold on to your feathers:
And @facebook represented that “It’s free and always will be” until ~Aug 2019 If they did begin to charge (they won’t), antitrust regulators could likely argue representations made to signup new users pre-2019 were deceptive & harmed competitors businessinsider.com/facebook-chang…
“difficult by design“ - great overview of digital #darkpatterns (by @nytimes @GregBensinger) #darkpatternsFTC “Companies can’t be expected to reform themselves; they use dark patterns because they work. “ nytimes.com/2021/04/30/opi…
@nytimestech @bxchen @bxchen Great writeup! Don't forget @brave and @DuckDuckGo both support @globalprivctrl opt-out mechanism. For example, visiting the @nytimes with one of those browsers automatically opts you out of the sale of your personal information as required by the CA #CCPA privacy law.
Important signal from Sen @MarkWarner to state legislatures deliberating privacy laws: Virginia’s #VCDPA doesn’t go far enough. It needs additional safeguards against #darkpatterns + easy ways to invoke rights such as through a “Global Privacy Control” warner.senate.gov/public/index.c…
And right on cue, #adtech attempts to spin their way out complying with CA consumers’ opt-out requests even though the CCPA states *clearly* that consumers can authorize another person (including browser or agent) to opt-out on their behalf. mediapost.com/publications/a…
BOOM 🎆 Businesses are *legally required* to honor #GPC as it "satisfies the legal requirement under #CCPA"
#CCPA requires businesses to treat a user-enabled global privacy control as a legally valid consumer request to opt out of the sale of their data. CCPA opened the door to developing a technical standard, like the GPC, which satisfies this legal requirement & protects privacy.
I have to say the response from @zoom_us to all the privacy, security, and #abusability issues surrounding their platform is very good: CEO acknowledges the specific problems, lays out steps they’re taking to fix them, and clear communicates steps to users blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020…
I'm stoked to be a part of such an important mission.
EFF is proud to welcome @ashk4n to our advisory board. Ashkan's research about third-party tracking has been critical to the public’s understanding of how personal data is being mined and monetized. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
As the pandemic gets worse, we're going to see increased pressure by all governments to access #private consumer data to identify: 1) who is infected 2) who they've been in contact with ("contact tracing") This is going to be an incredibly slippery slope if we're not careful.
This is such a great move by @DuckDuckGo! Existing blocklists often whitelist (unblock) known 3rd party ad domains For example, @disconnectme's widely used blocklist, which @firefox relies on for tracking protection, DOESN'T block Amazon, Google, or Turn disconnect.me/trackerprotect…
DuckDuckGo just released their own tracker list, ready to be used by privacy tools such as content blockers. They even open sourced the code that generates it, bringing transparency to how domains end up on their list: spreadprivacy.com/duckduckgo-tra…
Will we finally see #privacy labels take off? @Strava thinks so! strava.com/legal/privacy /cc @npdoty @xtratrav @disconnectme
Incredibly encouraged to see a strong federal privacy that doesn't pre-empt state laws. Thank you @RonWyden for your leadership.
We need to hold companies accountable for their profiteering off of consumers. My bill is the way to do it. wyden.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
