without whistleblowers and leaks we don’t 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
now i’m wondering if apple did zuck a bit of a favor with app tracking transparency that cut off a major supply of its un-managed data sourcing purpose liabilities

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

Since UK’s Channel4 is in the news, it’s worth revisiting its important international coverage such as when it received leak of the entire Cambridge Analytica Trump database from 2016 in lead-up to our 2020 election revealing a racist deterrence campaign. channel4.com/news/deterring…
Too few US outlets partnered with UK’s commercial public outlet soon-to-be-privatized-to-an-oligarch but Miami-Herald concluded that strategy to demobilize Black voters in Florida battleground was likely effective. GOP defended (CA/SCL’s) strategy/tactics. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
I attribute C4 leak to CA/SCL because the data is a forensic match to documented structures and strategy/nomenclature match internal company documents published by former employee. However, C4 didn’t make the attribution which I think was serious error given available evidence.

Thank you @IanCLucas Book cover of Digital Gangs...
Just finished this important history book that narrates the period of political tumult (2015-2020) where we became aware of digital threats to democracy in UK and beyond. We sought accountability and came so close but it was obstructed by the power of the accused in a cover-up.
To order a copy go to digitalgangstersbook.com and it’s entirely unsurprising that none of the big publishers would touch this book. I myself have been unsuccessful in finding a major publisher willing to chronicle the true story of this significant period from my vantage point.

i mean we’re in web2 and i have unbearable nostalgia for web1 so im dreading nostalgia for web2 tbh
[future tweet or its future onchain equiv] remember when we could like go to a website and just block the trackers since the fraud bots were stealing traffic anyways and now there’s gas fees for everything and it’s always in a different token that needs converting (more fees)
whenever i wonder if web3 cryptochain could actually eat the world like adherents insist i do the thought experiment of an airline DAO 100% onchain

“inspired by” “but not affiliated with” is such a very interesting way to say capturing revenue that someone’s else’s art generates
seems that @mckenziewark sorted this out awhile ago so at least that gives comfort in bleakness e-flux.com/journal/85/156…
so if i’m understanding… by creating unauthorized financial instruments of another’s work (here: inspired-by-but-unaffiliated NFTs) it’s trafficking the derivative value of the original work by engineering a literal derivative for capitalist ‘enclosure’ rhea.art/welcome-to-the…

Especially considering how the real ClearviewAI endgame is SCOTUS showdown where surveillance is declared protected speech under 1A à la Citizens United
nytimes.com/2020/08/11/tec…
It’s basically a race against time. What happens first? An act of Congress and/or Constitutional Amendment enshrining a generalized right of data protection inclusive of biometrics as a 1A carveout to preserve privacy
or
ClearviewAI gets its shot before Trump’s Scotus
