It’s quite a good and shocking article, and I recommend the read, however I’m guessing there are some few people like me who didn’t know all the acronyms in the title.
NOYB (None of Your Business) is a European non-profit organization that focuses on enforcing privacy rights and data protection laws, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It was founded in 2018 by privacy activist Max Schrems, who is known for his successful legal actions against major tech companies for privacy violations. NOYB aims to ensure that companies comply with data protection regulations by filing strategic complaints and legal actions. The organization seeks to empower individuals by protecting their personal data and advocating for stronger privacy rights.
A Data Protection Authority (DPA) is an independent public authority responsible for overseeing the application of data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. DPAs are tasked with safeguarding individuals’ privacy rights and ensuring that organizations comply with data protection regulations. Their roles include:
DPAs operate within each EU member state, and they cooperate with each other to ensure a consistent application of data protection laws across the EU.
Thank you, this is great. I will keep it in mind next time I post something about NOYB.
If cannot distinguish, default should to treat all data sensitive. That not in gdpr? If not that huge oversight.
Bunch of funkturd wankers are lying through their hole-ridden stinking teeth! Their whole goddamn business model is based on profiling. They know exactly who what where when why with whom for fuck’s sake.
And fucking fine them to infinity for it. Why would they not do something like this again if all they have to do is say “my bad bro”.
This kind of shit is why I keep telling people to thoroughly divest in every way from Meta. They’re just going to keep doing shit like this.
GDPR has never stoped them breaking laws. Fines are the cost of doing business. When we give anti-libre software our data, it’s game over.
That’s not at all true. After they get fined, they change their website. They can’t afford to pay hundreds of millions for repeating the same offense.
One example: after they got fucked hard by Irish courts, the “deny” button is just as promonant to opt-out of cookies on Google websites as it is to “accept”. It used to be a couple clicks to reject, and they got majorly fucked for that.
So, they already did it. This will never bring our data back.
