š Data collection must consider issues of privacy and representation, while also protecting the data subjects from potential surveillance and targeting.

š§āš¾ Social positionality can affect the type of data collected and how inclusive it is. For example, if male data collectors ask women farmers about crop preferences, they may ignore their input and take the input of other men. #UNDataForum #InclusiveData #DataRights
š“NEW: Lack of transparency over police forces' covert use of predictive policing software raises concerns about human rights abuses:

The UK gov is deploying software used to shut down BLM protests in the US.
Research released today in @SageJournals, by @dreleanordrage / @fedefrabetti1 shows how the software is more likely to flag left wing, black and brown crowds as potential threats:

Dataminr have been awarded work with the Ministry of Defence, Cabinet Office, and Foreign Office between 2017-2022, but details of their work with all departments is considered exempt under FOI, as is whether theyāre working with police in the UK.
Californiaās latest data privacy law aims to switch privacy default settings from off to on for everyone by protecting minors. I prefer granting all people equal protections but the USA only has the political will to protect children from mass data abuse. nytimes.com/2022/09/15/busā¦
California is also convinced of its own exceptionalism, that its rules drive the whole market, such as in auto emissions. But the CCPA/CPRA has not had the same effect in my view, as a person seeking expanded #DataRights without residing in California or the EU.
The exception to my critique of exceptionalism is that there is CCPA loophole that can be exploited for non-residents. Here is an app in beta (myfriday.io) that has so far pushed 10 obscure data brokers to respond to CCPA requests on my behalf.
Our data leaks all over the place. It even leaks within companies and they have no idea where itās going. This is an illegal way to engineer platforms. Platforms that fail to enable #DataRights must be rebuilt. It was pure hubris to design them otherwise. theintercept.com/2022/09/07/facā¦
No one at Facebook knows what happens to your data. You can see why paying mega fines and settlements is better for Zuckerbergās business than re-building Facebook from scratch. You can see why heād rather retire his essentially unlawful apps and focus on something else entirely.
This problem is industry-wide. Data brokers trading in sensitive information admit they have no idea where they got it. They simply wonāt care unless forced to. And the penalties need to be more than the cost of doing business and PR hits. #DataRights
Update: Bekah Mercer is now suing Alexander Nix for doing her the āfavourā of running Campaign Analytica/SCL into bankruptcy/insolvency as to enjoy the moratorium on data protection act violations which the UK ICO described and affected all registered voters (not just 87 million)
Weird āPayback suitā acting as Dynamo Recoveries after Bekah Mercer already achieved absorbing Cambridge Analytica/SCL into Emerdata Limited and Nigel Oakes got defence gigs/assets as SCL Analytics Ltd
Did Bannon ever cooperate with probes into CA/SCL? We know FTC tried to serve him. But no press follow-up on that. Now a jury is forming on his Jan6 obstruction indictment after shady pardons and whatnot. That Leninist-Duginist who came up with the name Cambridge Analytica.
Adtech is at its core an immoral and dangerous business practice that reveals its injuries to the innocent during ground war in Europe and the rollback of civil rights in America.
data privacy is a fundamental human right and stealing it save money on your ad spend is costing society somewhere else
Replace RuTarget with any domestic data broker or DMP and replace Ukraine with a vigilante state that offers abortion bounties and youāve got Alitoās America
Congress discovering the marketplace of advertising identifiers that are used to re-identify us up the adtech and data broker supply chain. These IDs provide cover for data collection practices and help gaslight consumers about anonymization. #DataRights wsj.com/articles/lawmaā¦
Dobbs will put focus on data brokers and the trafficking of targets for vigilante laws
But watch lawmakers struggle to contend with the data broker industry that enables their own power #DataRights
Visualize National #DataRights in the USA. The #ADPPA Bill Ā§203 has the Right of Access, the most basic of transparency rights republicans-energycommerce.house.gov/wp-content/uplā¦
UX design is about to become regulated and I doubt industry is prepared. Consider how revocable consent mandates a particular kind of switch type/design pattern if #ADPPA bill passes with this language which expressly prohibits dark patterns in consent UX/UI
Visualize a data broker registry website where you can issue āDo Not Collectā requests. #DataRights #ADPPA
without whistleblowers and leaks we donāt really know who is GDPR-compliant
Leaked doc is quite a read. It will take *years* of massive investment to fundamentally re-architect Facebook to become compliant. Consider incredible visualization of data entanglement to deduce that a Facebook user has moved from their hometown (a valuable advertising audience)
what does opting out even mean anymore? #DataRights
Sure would be nice if the USA had a national #DataRights act and muscular enforcement arm to get a handle on all the unbridled mass data abuse of cross-purposing and combining datasets
i fear that we basically need a constitutional amendment to reconcile the first and fourteenth with explicit and enforceable data subject rights
meanwhile the statehouses are devising their own patchwork (eg, today in Hartford) of subtle differences and definitions which is bad for data subjects, controllers, and processors alike but proves there is real voter appetite for a clamp-down and rights enablement claw-back
Canāt believe so many give credence to feta leaving the EU. The real story is USA needs a generalized data protection regulation to achieve adequacy and preserve transnational data flows because Max Schrems will blast any dumb treaty that comes next.
Industry think tanks can dream of fanciful new āSchremsproofā treaties all day long because they get paid the big bucks but a GDPR for the USA is the only ādurableā solution here. #DataRightsAreHumanRights
Same delusional adtech that brain thinks IAB can fix TCF while not admitting that itās the underlying RTB that isnāt GDPR-compliant.
Most Americans donāt realize that EU Charter includes a fundamental right to data protection. Sure pass an industry-favored commercial privacy law and a right-wing SCOTUS will eventually strike it down making business surveillance protected speech under 1A litigating ClearviewAI.
Affording rights for the 21st Century and beyond, the EU is a modern conception. No parallel in the US Constitution. I fear we need an amendment to enshrine our #datarights, ultimately. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/ā¦

Reminder! Download your data and delete your account, not just the app. Itās not as easy as the cover suggests, of course!
And after switching to iOS if necessary, download a device-level tracker blocker VPN like jumbo or disconnect.me torqued to the strictest settings to kill your shadow profile across all your apps and devices. Itās a lot of work to really delete Facebook from your life.
Residents of locales that grant #datarights to access your data under legal protections such as EU member states under #GDPR or other nations and US states such as California and Virginia granting their residents data rights in the wake of Cambridge Analytica, exercise ur rights!

My take on why Facebook is not preventing another Cambridge Analytica by banning NYU ad researchers. Itās just being a terrible, horrible, no good company by smearing independent accountability efforts. techpolicy.press/facebook-is-eaā¦
The piece is a take-down of any insinuation that Fb is just following orders to prevent more Cambridge Analytica scandals. FTC order does not apply according to experts. Deeply cynical to deliberately associate a clandestine unlawful app with NYUās tools. techpolicy.press/facebook-is-eaā¦

New York needs to lead the nation,
set the highest standards, and strive for GDPR adequacy to maintain lawful and protected flows of data internationally. Splinternet is the alternative so tech lobbyists *must* support #NewYorkPrivacyAct to prove theyāre serious about adequacy.

Senator Durbin will introduce for the Cleans Slate for Kids Online act - legal right to demand to delete all personal data collected under Age of 13. Every kid needs a reset button. But honestly, every human deserves this right. #datarights
Monica Bikert of FB touts newsfeed controls incl. disabling algorithmically ranked feed in favor of a reverse chronology of āeligible contentā ā but of course this begs the question as to why the latter is not the default and the ranked feed is the option. #PublicInterestInternet
Feel like GPDR could have used an upper limit of open investigations before algorithmic disgorgement automatically kicks in. Lost count of the open probes into Facebook Ireland a while ago. A failsafe for this colossus scenario.
āDPC now has 15 live investigations into FBās appsā¦incl 10 into FB proper, 3 into Instagram and 2 into WhatsApp.Ā

Congratulations to FACEBOOK for accruing 15 separate GDPR probes. No other company even comes close.
Proactively managing oneās own health data strikes me as an act of personal interest and liberty. Likewise, private interests are at liberty to impose requirements upon customers as terms and conditions of service. The problem is we donāt enjoy fundamental #DataRights in the USA.
In other words, we might find a digital vaccine record more acceptable if all data collecting entities were legally bound to disclose our data, its processing, sharing, and provide unobstructed revocation of consent. Exists in the EU. Not in the USA. #DataRights
So until the USA establishes fundamental #DataRights similar to the EU, CA, VA, etc., paper vaccine records could minimize digital monetization at least, and help maintain the minimal protections afforded by HIPAA. Without any safeguards tho, concerns of eventual abuse are real.
