This is a major development. Let me count the ways:
1. It portends a world where access to the internet requires ID of some sort.
“Porn sites will offer three or four choices of age verification system, with one being that you show up with your passport at your local corner shop or Sainsbury’s and get a card with a one-off unique identifying number” what could be simpler? metro.co.uk/2019/02/06/porn-…
I think you mean "destroying our EU state"

So we're now saying "If you're going to dress provocatively, you're asking for it"?

No claims are evidenced or from eyewitnesses. Only prior tweet result is unevidenced teapaw.org/6ixbuzztv/status/10859… Recent interview with Toronto homeless by CTV doesn't mention it: teapaw.org/EngageAndChange/status… They have been given 14 days to vacate Gardiner though: cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/c…
"This will allow new solution providers with interesting technologies such as artificial intelligence to overcome the traditional barriers to market entry by leveraging our new architecture”
Yeah… that’s not worrying *at all*…

Are companies in other EU countries sending yours personal data?
So another round of that popular game "Oops, where's your data?" from Facebook. Does no-one remember the quotes from Randi ("Privacy is dead get over it!") and Mark ("Privacy is no longer a social norm") Zuckerberg? If you value your privacy, stop giving this company your data! teapaw.org/PrivacyMatters/status/…
These latest revelations call for a concerted investigation by data protection regulators around the world wherever Facebook offers its services. @DPCIreland @EU_EDPS teapaw.org/wolfiechristl/status/1…
I block Google fonts on all of my web browsing for this very reason. It's as useful for tracking and profiling users as the Facebook Like button. teapaw.org/RDBinns/status/1002124…
'We need to connect you and your personal data to another data controller (Google) so we can make this font a little bit prettier. We don't really know what kind of data that might be'

Hmmm good luck to anyone dealing with the completely undefined terms "lawful content" and "unlawful content" if this goes all the way. It doesn't even state who will get to decide which is which. It honestly just seems like a free speech curtailment waiting to happen. teapaw.org/BrianHonan/status/1002…

🔓 Just found out: over the last 8 years my iOS Safari "leaked" my Safari Favorites bookmarks to every single WiFi hotspot and ISP I was ever connected to, as well as all other machines in the same network...

Absolutely! 100% agree. And this does lead to the conclusion that companies that don't actively work to protect privacy (never mind those that just pay lip service to it) are both anti-democratic and anti-freedom. (looking at you, Facebook, Google, et. al.) teapaw.org/F_Kaltheuner/status/10…
"The NHS does not need any more of our taxes" - Wonderfully thought out response, and beautifully refuted. teapaw.org/juniordrblog/status/99…
An impressively ignorant tweet. From the top then. /thread teapaw.org/DVATW/status/999537142…
This seems entirely appropriate... I try to protect my kids from having their cultural heritage stolen, repackaged, and sold back to them too....

A good illustration of the need to monitor and regularly check your security controls are appropriate for the risks they're supposed to defend you against! teapaw.org/mikko/status/997458448…
Prank of the week; replace all the fire extinguishers in your office with these, then start a small fire in the lobby, or somewhere. teapaw.org/giffffffy/status/99089…

The very fact that I paused before retweeting this to consider how much backlash I might get from retweeting it, made me decide I HAD to retweet it. teapaw.org/PornPanic/status/99496…
