1) this is absurd abuse of expectations, 2) and any students should protest this if their U., is doing it, 3) then demand why there isn’t a national law to regulate it.
This is no different than what happens with Facebook. 97% of Facebook’s near $70B in revenue comes from advertisers (aka the customers) so it pushes surveillance of its users (aka the product it is selling to its advertisers) as far as it can get away with it to max revenues.
With this university surveillance product covered by @drewharwell, the administration is paying bill (aka the customer) so without any laws, they’ll push the edge as far as they can to please the universities’ administration and professors. Without protest, it becomes the norm.

ok, I'm deep in Twitter advanced settings right now. I'm interested in how this happens. @arron_banks has disappeared from Twitter search although his tweets appear to still be there. /1
First, I tried just searching his name "Arron Banks" and his handle "arron_banks" on Twitter search. In both cases, he doesn't show up as he used to show up (note, I'm not blocked by him). /2
and his tweets don't come back when doing an advanced search on Twitter for 2014 through 2019. /3

*a must read for the year* @cwarzel @stuartathompson through diligence, management support and a brave whistleblower source,
may have officially broken the adtech lobby complex /1 nytimes.com/interactive/20…
So many real-life risks captured in their storytelling. This illustration is one that should move lawmakers and regulators to finally wake up. /2
There are democracy risks, too, which aren’t captured. Recall how Steve Bannon boasted in documentary about using this data to microtarget election ads at Catholics based on frequency of church visits in 2018. /3 theverge.com/2019/7/19/2070…

#Facebook's new political ads policy spells trouble for #2020. FB's only Dutch fact-checker just quit over the new 'lies are ok" policy. If legislators don't tackle this, we won't have a fair #2020 election or impeachment process. @Narativlive theguardian.com/technology/201…
@NarativLive 2. In a series of posts on narativ.org in 2017 I exposed how Facebook became a political propaganda machine to elect #Trump. I detailed how autocrats, theocrats and foreign intelligence disrupted democracy @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom #2020 narativ.org/2017/09/12/fac…
3. Trump+Facebook polarized Americans by amplifying extremism on social issues. I exposed how #Russia and her US church affiliates inflamed tensions over #lgbtq issues on #Facebook. @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom narativ.org/2017/09/27/div…

With my last drop of CJEU judgments brainpower for the week, here are some key points from the global takedown of #Facebook defamatory comments case published yesterday #Glawischnig Long thread alert! 1/x curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
Setting the scene: this is not a data protection or #privacy case. This is a case concerning deletion of information, but grounded on defamation. It is irrelevant for the case at hand that those comments contained personal data, even if they did. 2/
Fun fact: the #GDPR specifically excludes from its scope of application those situations which also fall under the scope of liability rules for intermediary service providers, Art 12 to 15 from eCommerce Directive, precisely what the CJEU was asked to interpret. 3/

1/Last week's №1news was not the >10kBTC breakout or #Facebook's #Libra announcement, but release of the #FATF(Financial Action Task Force) Guidance on Virtual Assets(VAs) and Virtual Asset Service Providers(VASPs, anyone professionally dealing with crypto, inc. natural persons)
2/Libra and FATF news represent the "old", centralised world's most powerful-yet attempts at fencing the global crypto phenomenon. One year US Presidency in FATF ending Jun30, effectively helped extend the recent FinCen crypto guidance (bit.ly/2LeQTus) globally
3/And market clearly isn't yet pricing in any of the potential outcomes entailed in this development.We suggest monitoring it in the context of state-by-state implementations, which will end up harmonised - i.e. similar. Here's what we wrote to our Research subscribers in March

1. @ANewman_forward and I have a piece in the @FT, on #Facebook and privacy, building on our brand new book, Of Privacy and Power amzn.to/2TWwVWi. Short version - the reason why Facebook is pushing for privacy law goes back to @Snowden revelations. ft.com/stream/ec33ce8…
2. There's a new narrative about Facebook's embrace of #GDPR (@alexstamos gives one recent version of it) - that GDPR is good for companies like Facebook, because it is complex and easier for big companies to comply with than small upstart competitors. Not altogether wrong,
3. but not really right either. Facebook's ginger embrace of European style legislation is making lemonade out of lemons. Zuckerberg would surely have preferred a world with no privacy legislation, where companies were left to self regulate, and market mechanisms predominated.

Another bad day for #Facebook: Psych researcher Aleksandr Kogan who helped #CambridgeAnalytica mine private data from 87 million Facebook users sues FB for defamation. Almost a year to the day since we first learned of the massive privacy breach scandal, which FB blamed on Kogan.

#Facebook & #Twitter are reported by the Russian state press to “report on their compliance with Russian regulations requiring companies to store Russian users’ data on servers located inside Russia. 👇🏼
“If they refused, both companies faced small fines of 5,000 rubles ($75), though Roskomnadzor was careful to point out that it has no current plans to block the social-media giants.“
(the same outlet later revealed that Twitter’s response actually notified Russian officials that the company’s representatives can’t visit Moscow in January.)
