Just jumping into this stream as @SenBlumenthal calls for a follow-up round of #TechHearings with non-industry voices. Confirms industry must forgo self-regulation and that Europeans and Californians don't deserve "better" privacy than all Americans, nor an "undue hardship"
"We don't sell data…but we reserve the right to share it…with consent…(buried in legalese)" — the "we don't sell data" line is insulting to all of our intelligence, all those who know what the term "monetize" means.
Reviewing apps in App Store and Google Play that violate #COPPA laws that protect children. App developers self-certify they're compliant. Inherent weakness of FTC on full display here. Industry enforcement is just not a threat to platforms. The violation of COPPA is endemic.
Senator Baldwin sort of asks about supplied data versus collected/inferred data but industry claims it doesn't make distinctions when it's personally identifiable. That doesn't comport with Zuckerberg's testimony. Didn't cover problem of people's right of accessing inferred data.
Ted "Cambridge Analytica/AggregateIQ" Cruz is up! He goes right for China and censorship. Wastes time asking a question that has already been covered. #TechHearings
Ted "Cambridge Analytica/AggregateIQ" Cruz simply refuses to stay on the topic of data privacy in these #TechHearings. He always pivots to conservative bias which is not based on any empirical data. It is a conspiracy theory. Chief Privacy Officer is not even the person to ask.
