The Opt-Out Illusion - Why US Privacy Law Cannot Technically Work

23 US states built their privacy laws on opt-out consent. The browser's same-origin policy makes that promise technically impossible to keep. This is an analysis of a doctrine that cannot work.

It should be mandatory for email providers in the #EU to offer a settings flag to disable cold emails. When this flag is set and ignored by companies, they could then be sued as a #privacy violation

#politics #GDPR #GPC #eupol

it should be illegal in the #EU to ask users to disable their ad blocker just like it is illegal to ask applicants with an uterus whether they are pregnant or about to be in a job interview.

I think @[email protected] would be wise to take note of this Guardian article which makes a good case against further oil and gas exploration thanks in part to the US-Israel war on Iran. Right, @[email protected]? 😉 #cdnpoli #NDP #LPC #GPC #CPC

Are Privacy Opt-Outs Useless? #privacy #GPC #Meta #Google #Microsoft #tracking

Good to see the NDP in second with 18.9% of the vote in one of the by-elections last night.

The polarization between the Bloc and Liberals in Terrebonne is pretty stunning but at least there was a clear winner this time! The CPC got just 3% and the other three barely added up to 1% there!

The Toronto ridings were at least a little more spread out, but both remain solid Liberal seats with more than 60% of the vote.

I don’t like how the Liberals gained their majority, a first in Canadian history… but that’s the hand we are dealt. Time to work at it.

Since @avilewis and @emilylowan are the first Canadian federal and provincial party leaders respectively to be on the #Fediverse, I wonder if they will have an outsized influence on this place until other parties inevitably join. 🤔

Don't forget that an #LPC majority could make it easier to ram through jets at Billy Bishop Airport given recent remarks from Carney on that matter. It's unsettling to say the least. #cdnpoli #NDP #GPC CC @[email protected]

Thanks @[email protected] for publishing my letter in response to #CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre's call to scrap high-speed rail. Canada is decades overdue for high-speed rail and it's time we get this thing built! #cdnpoli #LPC #NDP #GPC #AllAboardAlto www.thestar.com/opinion/lett...

Here's yet another reason why we must never allow Pierre Poilievre to become Prime Minister! He's content with Canada remaining an international embarrassment by wanting to scrap high speed rail which is decades overdue! #shame #cdnpoli #LPC #CPC #NDP #GPC www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...

Yes, Avi Lewis won the NDP leadership.

I'm still voting Green.

from a mailing, and referencing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXpSxDIwc5A, "And she discovered something else you should know about. Just a couple of months after supporting Alberta’s push for another pipeline to the BC coast, the Liberal government quietly gutted its marine spill response program in January. They laid off the experts who are called on when marine life and wildlife are in harm’s way from toxic spills. The kind of spills that happen frequently, we just don’t hear about them because they’re not big enough to make the news.

When Elizabeth raised these layoffs in the House of Commons, even Liberal MPs were taken by surprise."

This is why I am having a lot of difficulties believing in PM Carney is other than just a good speaker.

Full disclosure for Canadian folks.
Yes I am an #NDP member.
I have also been a Green Party (Federal) member. #gpc

I have always been on the orange/green fence. This post explains my history and current thinking about parties and this moment in Canada.

I had never been a member of any party, then I voted in the GPC leadership race with Annamie Paul and Dimitri Lascarsis because I wanted to make a difference more than just talking online…

When that party disintegrated, I left, but had got the taste… so then I joined the BCNDP to participate in their leadership campaign after Horgan. I supported the upstart Appadurai who got disqualified… but she made a splash and a very very important point!

So I stuck around… and now I am going to vote in the Federal NDP leadership because I see a couple really good candidates that could push Canada in a #democraticSocialist direction.

I encourage others to do the same. Canada and Canadians need real options right now. Liberal, NDP, and others. Be involved. Become a member even if you don’t think you’ll stick. Be involved.

After the leadership vote I will likely let my membership lapse and go back to being a free agent… towing a party line is not my style…

But it is important in this moment in the world to fight for what you believe in, so that’s why I am voting in the NDP leadership.

I know I will be voting for one or more of these depending how the voting works.

There's now an Intent to Prototype for Global Privacy Control (#GPC, https://github.com/w3c/gpc/blob/main/explainer.md) in Chrome:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/ztV1otnl_NQ/m/rvvLFkrdBQAJ. This is a good thing for more #privacy on the Web.

I think the best #GPC UI I've seen (aside from an unknown number of sites that simply honor it and don't show anything in the UI) is newegg, which just shows a little toast message with a slight more verbose version in a tooltip if you click it
