Switzerland and privacy: our data protection law is in need of a revision. At a minimum I would like it lifted up to the level of the GDPR – but this Swiss NGO is saying that our “national council” is likely to fail at this as the resolution proposed by the commission falls far short. So now we need to rely on the rest of the councilors to fix it for them. Gaaah. #privacy #switzerland #chpol

Daycare: You need to create an account on X to view the pictures of your kid in class.
Pre-K: You need to create an account on Y to view the pictures of your kid in class.
Kindergarten: Heyyy, I put the class pictures on a shared authenticated Google Photos album!

#privacy groups (in Friendica, Hubzilla) / aspects (in diaspora) are powerful. Apart from simplifying sharing limited content with large lists of people, they also not_disclose all the recipients in UI (unless all recipients decide to show up in comments). Without channels (present only in Hubzilla) this "content management" makes it trivial to i.e. post in different languages specifically to friends who speak this language.

If you're interested in privacy online, there's an excellent website called DarkPatterns.org which explores the dirty tricks some sites use:

Government in every other country: digitalization!! 🤪 Let's aggregate every single detail about each our citizen in one big database! Convenient, modern, profitable. 💪 We don't know much about how to secure digital data (besides, we don't care *that* much).
Meanwhile, Spanish banks have stopped sending documents and other personal info via email. Snailmail is allowed though. :smart:

BBC building Alexa-style virtual assistant, to be called Beeb.
"The BBC already works with other voice assistants, such as Alexa and Google Assistant, but it is increasingly pushing users towards its own products, **so it can collect more data**."
Emphasis mine.

Just (2019-08-12 3pm) received an email from #Eurostar about an updated #privacy policy that took effect a week ago (2019-08-05).
Of course, my privacy is important to them! And thus, I'm allowed to opt-out... But my browser warns a lot against doing so (see screenshot)..
And to get my data deleted I'm supposed to provide more personal data, including 2(!!) proofs of my ID... :angry_trump:

The NGOs @freiheitsrechte@twitter.com and @epicenter_works@twitter.com go to court against the EU's draconian and likely unconstitutional general surveillance regime of all air passengers. #PNR #privacy
They also wrote a great summary of what's happening: https://nopnr.eu/en/history
