Read the ToS when signing up to those things. They're collecting everything and according to the law, blindly clicking "I agree" counts as consent.

- polskibus 8y agoCollecting is one thing, offering others voice base identification is another. GDPR changed the landscape so I don't have to fear that a single consent is a blanket one. It would be good to find out how the FAANG are using voice prints.
- shittyadmin 8y agoUnless you're a European citizen interacting with a European company GDPR changed nothing, they can show you a different ToS and play entirely in your court system where GDPR is meaningless.
- polskibus 8y agoIsn't it enough that Google et al conducts business in EU and have a representation here?
- AlphaWeaver 8y agoNo, it isn't. GDPR only affects EU citizens living in the EU. It's possible for companies to maintain entirely different practices for their users in the EU verses out of the EU.
- polskibus 8y agoGoogle et al are moving EU citizens' data ownership to EU subsidiaries to comply with GDPR. https://venturebeat.com/2018/12/12/google-will-shift-control-of-european-data-from-u-s-to-ireland-to-aid-gdpr-compliance/ https://venturebeat.com/2018/12/12/google-will-shift-control...
- diminoten 8y agoYeah, and on top of that I've agreed to let them use my data for training/research purposes, so definitely happening there. And even from a moral standpoint you gave your word that these things were okay to do with your information, and you can revoke your permission at any point.
- mtgx 8y ago> blindly clicking "I agree" counts as consent Not in the EU, where the idea of "informed consent" exists within law. Maybe the US needs better data protection laws, too.
- kaybe 8y agoScratch that 'maybe'.
