#privacywashing — Public Fediverse posts

@ligasser OK, I am not too familiar with iOS, but I guess directly opening an app from #poppy would be technically feasible.
And the idea of regularly checking in on «lost friends» is nice!
The point is that most people will do this via their existing connections (WA, Insta, FB, ...), so the (implicit) claim to «enhance» by not collecting data is #privacywashing
#social_media #messenger

The data isn't "deleted" if it's possible to "undelete" it 🙄

I received this 'safelink' share from outlook.com lately:

https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com

That must be very European, safe and privacyfriendly, isn't it?

(Or would Microsoft now know the contents and knowing who clicks on it 🤔 ?)

You’re literally the standards body of surveillance capitalism. Shut the fuck up about privacy. The corporate members that fund your existence violate privacy as the core driver of their business models.

Fucking hypocrites doing fucking PR.

@noybeu
👉 Hey, are you really OK with the sponsors of #cpdp ?

I didn't get into #privacy advocacy to put finances first, and to be insouciant about creeping corruption and #privacywashing .

👋 I think CPDP would be a good place to start a conversation about the standards we uphold as a community of advocates.

Computers, Privacy, and Data Protection (CPDP) is a conference funded and organised by Google, Microsoft, and TikTok (platinum sponsors get to help organise panels and participate on the main stage).

@C__CS Glad to see such an event sponsored by champions of privacy and data protection like Google, Microsoft, TikTok, and Uber.

And here’s the thing: if/when there is another administration, you don’t let these fuckers weasel their way back in by waving their money. They should never have been let in to begin with. The number of fucking “human rights” and “ethical this or that” conferences I refused to speak at because they were sponsored by these assholes comes to mind. I guess being surveillance capitalists and farming people wasn’t bad enough for some folks.

“In what world can an organisation seriously think it is all right to run a prominent cancer event, bringing together world experts, while also taking sponsorship from a company whose product has caused millions of cancer deaths worldwide? Absolutely shocking.”

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know the answer to this one: in the tech world!

Are you a privacy professional? Would you like to work with companies like Google and Facebook to help them continue to violate our privacy? The W3C has a job for you.

Pays well, by the way (violating human rights always does).

@w3c You forgot to add that the position will involve privacywashing your surveillance capitalist members like Google, Facebook, etc.

You are the standards body of surveillance capitalism, after all.
