Conscious Digital

Thank you @gruberdev for sponsoring me on @github. You can join them at my sponsors profile: github.com/sponsors/your-…

I hesitated before publishing this post because it would expose me to the same risks as the people I wrote about. To a CBP agent reading this in the future, please know I am simply doing my job: informing the public of their digital rights and choices. consciousdigital.org/privacy-at-the…

The Winnipeg Free Press published an interview with us: winnipegfreepress.com/business/2023/… Ironically their website does not work in Europe because they can't be bothered to comply with the GDPR, so here is an alternative link: archive.ph/qP6FJ

@0xGideon we also have some technical questions so would be good to connect. Thanks!

@0xGideon, we're thinking of using your custom substack embed. Unlike the official widget, it does not add tackers to our website and does not advertise Substack jobs in the console. You should list these reasons on your website as many others are also frustrated about them!

What does a ChatGPT developed by a well-funded intelligence agency such as the NSA look like, and what can it be used for? consciousdigital.org/the-nsas-chatg…

Hi @GoTo , I just sent you a data deletion request, and you replied asking me to fill out a form (#darkpattern), but @LastPass is missing from your list of products, how come? Also, asking me to opt out of each product individually is another dark pattern!

Congratulations and thank you to our friends at NOYB on the landmark by the @EU_EDPB to rain back @Meta on how personal data is being (ab)used on @facebook, @instagram and @WhatsApp #GDPR

Hi @Wise, you have asked us to upload a bank statement to verify source of funds. But you are our only bank! So what gives? It's like you are asking us to work with another bank.

Nice to see we've made it to the front page of Reddit yet again. Thank you @elonmusk. old.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/…

Hi @PayPal, your EU website lists (only one) email address where people can report privacy-related concerns yet that email address is inactive! You can do better than that. #gdpr #privacy

@KonajuGames @troyhunt @haveibeenpwned @KonajuGames you are right, the emails @troyhunt was getting where coming from right.ly who, unlike us, work by requsting offline access to a user's gmail account and then email evey org they find. Companies have reported getting thousands of erroneous emails.

Somewhat ironically, my personal email address is being used somewhere as a source for people to email me and request that their personal email address be removed from @haveibeenpwned. There’s clearly a template somewhere enabling people to take the “shotgun approach” seen here:

@hmgchk Thank you for mentioning us. We would love to add support for Japan's APPI regulation and are looking for volunteers based in Japan to help us do so. Please contact us if you are interested in helping at info@yourdigitalrights.org

ただ少なくとも公開されてる構成員にフロントエンドエンジニアしかいないのが気になる。完全自動化してるわけじゃないと思うので法務チームがいるはずなんだけどな yourdigitalrights.org/about

最近YCから出資を受けたOpteryと似たデータブローカーへの個人データ削除の代行サービス。こっちはボランティアベースで運営してるらしく、これはこれで興味深い。Optery同様GDPR/CCPAに依拠するので日本からは使えないはずだけど展開が気になる yourdigitalrights.org
