  1. FYI: GPC could cut EU consent banners - but law must catch up first: A May 2026 study finds Global Privacy Control can partly reduce EU cookie consent banners, but regulators must first clarify how the GPC signal maps to GDPR. ppc.land/gpc-could-cut-eu-cons #Privacy #GDPR #CookieConsent #DataProtection #DigitalPrivacy

  2. 🚨 BREAKING: Google just changed the rules of the web.

    Is privacy now incompatible with web access? We break it down.

  4. I use Chrome for work and found that it has decided, without opt-in or opt-out, to create several `weights.bin` files that are several GB large. Deleting them means Chrome will reinstall them. Why this is bad is explained in thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome , but that blog misses that there is more than 1 weights.bin file.

  5. 'Man in smart glasses filmed me in London then told me to pay'
    bbc.com/news/articles/cwy87wqz

    "...Alice contacted the account that posted the video of her, asking for it to be taken down. She told the man who posted it that it made her feel "humiliated".

    In the email she received back, he said he would remove it as a "paid service".

    …"It made me feel exploited, powerless," she said."

  6. 📚🚀 Oh, how dare a webpage reveal that your browser's been gossiping all along! 🤭 Thanks, Rise Up Labs, for informing us—without asking—about the sky we missed while we were busy staring at this digital snoop-fest, Vol. IV. Bravo, Matt, for teaching us that our devices are blabbermouths, one millisecond at a time. 😂👏

  8. The era of "notice and consent" is ending. 👋

    The new IEEE #MyTerms standard defines a machine-readable, enforceable contract for personal privacy. It replaces the endless consent-banner friction & weak enforcement with true two-party agreements.

    Big challenge: Getting AdTech & power-holding businesses onboard. Adoption hinges on securing lighthouse partners.

    A great initiative for customer agency! #DigitalPrivacy #IEEE #MyTerms #FutureofData

  9. New post: Is 2026 the year digital freedom snaps, or the year you take it back?

    Age checks become ID rails. Encryption gets squeezed. Compliance shapes speech. Self-custody gets more friction.

    I break down what’s in motion for 2026, then share steps you can take without going off-grid.

  14. Looks like digitalprivacy.diy/ (a Matrix home server) is shutting down at the end of March 2026

    I've created an account on Matrix.org, for now, until I find a better home server or decide to run my own, lol

    With some tweaks, the experience is really good, and support from the husband-and-wife team excellent!

  17. After many years of using the internet, it would be interesting to get my hands on one of the digital profiles that have been generated about me. I have a feeling the algorithms know me better than I know myself.😒

  24. Ah, the digital age’s version of a secret handshake 🤝: the mystical and ever-elusive "Do Not Track" standard. Instead of actually respecting privacy by default, let's have users memorize an arcane spell-book 📚 of opt-out incantations for every single tool. Because who doesn't love a good scavenger hunt for privacy? 🙄🔍

  26. I took this photo myself at "Outpost One", a great Star Wars exhibition with a lot of fan artwork and love for detail.
