#Enshittification is platforms devouring themselves: first they tempt users with goodies. Once users are locked in, goodies are withdrawn and dangled before businesses. Once business customers are stuck, all value is claimed for platform shareholders:

Enshittification isn't just another way of saying "fraud" or "price gouging" or "wage theft." Enshittification is intrinsically digital, because moving all those goodies around requires the flexibility that only comes with a *digital* businesses.

“We’re basically going back to everyone who criticized us for the long period of Moving Forward and saying, ‘Yeah you were right, you really can’t trust us to do what we say we’re going to do with our plans,'” @SamAustinD5

🧵 While #ChatGPT is grabbing the headlines, pushing @GoogleAI (#LaMDA) and @Baidu_Inc to rush their plans to launch competitors, maybe it’s time to explore the security/privacy concerns generative AIs raise.

Here's a #thread on some of these, brought to you by @InfosecurityMag.

No matter how benevolent a dictatorship is, it's still a dictatorship, and subject to the dictator's whims. We must demand that the owners and leaders of tech platforms be fair and good - but we must also be prepared for them to fail at this, sometimes catastrophically. 1/ Moses confronting the Pharaoh, demanding that he release the

Maybe you trust #TimCook to decide what apps you are and aren't allowed to install - including whether you are allowed to install apps that block #Apple's own extensive, nonconsensual, continuous commercial surveillance of its customers. 3/

#DelhiHighCourt hearing a plea by Amazon Seller Services Pvt. Ltd. challenging an order of the CCPA imposing fine of Rs. 1lac for selling pressure cookers without Bureau of India Standard (BIS) mark.

The Court passed over the matter.

#amazon #CCPA #BISmark
Counsel for Amazon argues that the order is completely based on conjuncture.
Quoting from the order of CCPA, counsel states that "who has determined this?"
Court- You don't have the BIS mark?
Counsel- I don't know! We don't know! Nobody knows! Nobody has done an investigation. They are only presuming. This is.

My observations on @AGRobBonta's first major #CCPA enforcement action, announced today against @Sephora - big news for U.S. privacy. 1/16
✨Complaint: oag.ca.gov/system/files/a…
✨Settlement: oag.ca.gov/system/files/a…
First, @Sephora is a strategic choice. The most significant outcome is their 2-yr agreement to honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. It's very important for the AG to get this on the books, because it bolsters CCPA's key (only) redeeming feature: the universal opt-out. 2/
Despite CCPA's underlying weaknesses (advocates have rightly criticized it as an ineffectual notice & choice law), the concept of a decentralized "universal opt-out" browser mechanism has taken hold in the US and been adopted in CO, CT - with great promise. 3/

Sometimes, the best way to understand a failure is to contrast it with a success. Take @Amazon, whose avowed "relentlessness" created next-day Prime delivery and AWS, with its power to instantaneously, continuously emit "buckets" of data. 1/ A spooky cellar with a 'Beware of the Leopard' sign and a di

Amazon boasts endlessly of its efficiency, ease of use and speed - so whenever you find Amazon being inefficient, hard to use and slow, it's reasonable to assume that this is a deliberate choice. Like, say, when Amazon is giving you the data it has collected on you. 3/

@redphonecrypto @_jefflau File storage: look at 0Chain. Would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Built from scratch over the past 3 years, team has built its own protocols and blockchain network. We are quickly approaching our MainNet target for end of this month. 125 Service providers...
@redphonecrypto @_jefflau staking ~9m $zcn. 0Chain aims to offer decentralized storage to enhance data privacy and security while also tackling #gdpr & #ccpa compliance. partnership with oracle aims to onboard enterprises/businesses:
@redphonecrypto @_jefflau what about other competitors? Well, the likes of filecoin arweave sia etc don’t offer enterprise-grade storage. these other networks are expensive and don’t truly provide enhanced security, privacy or other benefits of a blockchain-based systems.

Hard to believe I just heard @jimsteyer claim on @Forum that @CommonSense authored #CCPA and that @ACLU and @EFF have "no expertise on privacy" and have "never passed privacy laws". A thread on why that is outrageous bupkus from #yeson24.
The original data privacy bill that became #CCPA was #AB375 which was introduced BY @ACLU and @EFF via Ed Chau in 2017. The bill stalled in 2017 on the Senate floor, one vote away from the governor. It was much stronger at that time.
Alastair MacTaggart, a wealthy SF landlord who owns @EmeraldFund decided to try a ballot initiative. Because he was not particularly knowledgeable about #privacy, the initiative he self-funded was far less stringent than #AB375

On July 16, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued its decision in the case Data Protection Commission v. Facebook Ireland, Schrems:
*No one* can move data from the EU to the US since the US does not adequately protect EU citizens' rights. #SchremsII
Yes, you read that right. Since the US gov't likes to peak👀😱 at data being sent into the US and the lack of control by EU citizens, they are changing their stance on data transactions between the EU and US.
Want the full details? Great article here: iapp.org/news/a/the-sch…
This ruling makes a major statement: Data security and privacy is critical moving forward. So how will this impact the "$7.1 trillion (trans-Atlantic) economic relationship that is so vital to our respective citizens, companies, and government(?)”

In its brazen request to California’s @AGBecerra for a general evisceration of the #CCPA, adtech’s lobby org IAB re-doubles-down on its foolhardy unwillingness to ever respect the Do Not Track setting in browsers. iab.com/wp-content/upl…
Translation: inferred data is not personal data if we say so
If you make us share how we apply inferences to people and get paid to share their IDs with buyers then users will be able to learn how they get monetized and they won’t like what they see and our business model is keeping that obfuscated and insulated.

A service that constantly looks for #CCPA Do Not Sell My Info opt-outs and does the grunt work for you…
…but the I Am Not a Robot CAPTCHA will ensure that this entirely reasonable convenience is just out of reach. #CCPA
Suppose you’re starting to see how the EU’s opt-in model in the GDPR is vastly superior to the CCPA’s opt-out. That’s what you get when data protection is a fundamental human right rather than some concession made by industry under political duress.

Just a few more days until you can demand that your service providers stop selling your personal information thanks to the #CCPA.
Indeed, #datarights are still “under construction” in the USA. about.att.com/csr/home/priva…
OK AT&T customers. Here’s where you go to demand that they stop selling your information. California residents may also request or delete their data. #CCPA att.com/cmp/ccpa/dnsatt
Looks like AT&T is only honoring data requests from California residents under #CCPA. OF COURSE THIS ONLY INSPIRES ME REDOUBLE THE EFFORT TO PASS THE #NYPRIVACYACT and contribute to the patchwork industry claims to fear most.

Inquiring minds want to know if preemption of state privacy laws was on the menu. #CCPA #NYPA
And if Right to Know isn’t the baseline of the discussion well that’s how you know that the surveillance capitalists are orchestrating a coup.
We’re already capitulating to industry by calling them data privacy acts instead of data rights acts. Privacy is a meaningless term. Of course privacy is dead. Data rights are alive.

Shows you have much the data privacy debate has shifted in the US when lobbyists can’t get their loopholes. #CCPA #TheGreatHack
“shows you *how much”…but seriously taken together with the reclassification law, Sacramento is doing the hard work of reigning in the excesses of Big Tech to protect consumers and workers where Washington DC isn’t.
Watching loophole lobbyists fail badly at statehouses is ratcheting pressure on Washington to act on preemption to grant us national data rights. But the devil will be in the details and the industry’s concessions for winning preemption. #DataRights cnbc.com/2019/09/10/bus…

Watched #TheGreatHack this weekend? Mindblown and/or outraged? California resident? Read about industry efforts to water down the landmark California Consumer Privacy Act #CCPA which is the first law in the USA to grant a Right to Know. Defend California law from loophole lobby!
Watched #TheGreatHack this weekend? Mindblown and/or outraged? New Yorker? Read about the bill in Albany that’s even bolder than California’s law. Then join me in writing to my local reps asking them to watch the film and pass the strongest bill possible. wired.com/story/new-york…
The next great hack is around #MoscowMitch who will surely block a landmark national privacy law. We must pass privacy laws in the statehouses first so that the industry pressures McConnell for preemption but voters will gain federalist leverage over the inevitable concessions.
