I think the current average of pop-up windows I have to close for a website is now 4.
First GDPR, then another window thanking me for inputting my 'data preferences', when it fact it was my get-out-my-face preferences., then something wanting me to sign up for the newsletter, then an ad.
I spend so much time on the internet closing pop-ups I'm going to get finger cramp.

So there we go. Another £2.1 billion quid spaffed away for no good reason on no-deal, to alleviate a process which'll fuck us anyway.
£6.3 billion in total. All so we can make ourselves poorer and be cross with one another all the time.
Really highlights the moral status of the government. When it came to taking away child benefit, or local services, or disability allowance, it was all about financial realism.

The people who three years ago were the strongest cheerleaders for Theresa May are now collectively insisting they always considered her a Remainer.
They've now transferred exactly the same type of Soviet leader worship to Johnson and their previous view has been airbrushed out of history.
It's quite an odd experience to watch it happen, given that we actually lived through it - and really not so long ago.

Bugger me The Boys is good. First TV version of a comic I've liked.
When it touched on MeToo stuff at the beginning I thought it wouldn't have the maturity to pull it off. I was wrong. It's really smart and properly, unapologetically radical.
It's also obscene, utterly outrageously obscene, in ways I honestly didn't think anyone could get away with on TV. That shit with the dolphin will stay with me.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

A little thread, which I may come back to, for all those #technophobes who blame rise in #suicide on #socialmedia.

First: legit, what rise?
Second: The actual experts do not agree with you, and your fear-mongering is likely causing more harm than good.
cf. Thomas, K, and Gunnell, D. (2010). Suicide in England and Wales 1861–2007: a time-trends analysis. International Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2010, Pages 1464–1475.
So, first the data, from #UK (above) and elsewhere (below).

Clearly if this epidemic was *caused* by a *single* factor it would permeate all societies with social media.

First #GDPR fine by Polish DPA. 6M records in database. Scrapped from public sources. Not informed data subjects about their rights. 229k EUR fine. Breach of Article 14. Impressive: no particular explanation provided.
English press release related to the first PL #GDPR fine. 6M user data scraped from public registers. Not informed data subjects about their rights. €220k fine. No tech component; purely lawful case. uodo.gov.pl/en/553/1009
Full justification of the #GDPR enforcement here. 220k fine is only one thing. Company has been ordered to inform all the 6M data subjects. Costs might exceed the fine. Full GDPR in action here. uodo.gov.pl/decyzje/ZSPR.4… (via G/translate)

Your work history is distinct, more than most passwords. Your resume identifies you (who else had your last 2 to 4 jobs?) even without your name/photo. @LinkedIn as a social network relies on the collective trust of its users to honor the contexts of career and work.
#GDPR makes @LinkedIn accountable for how the company sticks to promised uses of your data, but GDPR doesn't cover how other members of the network use or abuse your information. Social norms (and peer payback like @LeenaVanD offers) can raise the stakes. But abuse happens.
Most data protection laws deal with the relationship between you and companies. The next round of laws will start to cover data in motion (chat, calls, data in transit). But they also should start to consider person-to-person use/abuse of your data. #gdpr #privacy @IdentityWoman
