This is the only basis that tech co’s have been convinced to provide ways to opt out and appear to care for your privacy. They make it difficult so the majority don’t do it. In my opinion laws should be in place to ensure stuff like this is

You’re absolutely right - it should all be opt-in. The issue it would seem is that it would no longer be profitable for these companies. I’m also tired of company profits over citizens privacy.

So someone deleted their data and surprise surprise it wasn’t really deleted? And only got noticed because the tool stuffed up by using it. What’s the bigger issue the stuff up or the fact Google didn’t honour his deletion properly?

Won’t the customer consent just become a line in the T&C’s and unless you accept it you can’t use their service? This would be a similar situation to the cookie disclaimers.

The truly sad part is that continual media theatrics like this will make 99% of the public believe FB has changed and is now privacy conscious.

I’m appalled by this point of view. Perhaps this is a weakness of capitalism.. primary responsibility should be to those who perished, not the shareholders.

That’s a nice sentiment but in reality your vote doesn’t count because every politician and government puts these measures in at the first opportunity. You may think governments work for the people but that’s just theory.

Why don’t you ask him/the company to pay for some management training for you - he’s identified a weakness and has given you this role, it’s his problem to develop you.

Perhaps engagement is paramount to the Facebooks of this world but data gathering is valuable to a much larger set of companies and nation states. Think health and location data - very useful to many industries that can better target their

I use categories like you, and a combination of Trello for the list and OneNote (could use any note app) for details. I have a 2y.o. and one on the way and manage to find at least 2 hrs a week for a side project, sometimes up to about 8hrs.

I’ve been thinking the same recently. Regulation doesn’t keep up. An industry standard code of conduct or framework, with certification and a seal to show your software adheres to the certification may be the best approach. perhaps source c

Selling out your users has never been a successful long term business model. These companies should have held up paid models and not bowed to pressure for free services (at the hidden cost of selling all our data). They should all be replac

May sound silly but could we send it into space instead of burying it? Surely it could be sent on a trajectory to burn up at the sun or another planet’s atmosphere. I guess the obvious issue is cost, are there others?

Exactly. The user needs to control the data, the vendor can request access to specific elements for their app (for you to use) to which you grant them access via API ... the user controlled tools need to be created though. Or do they exist

...selling advertising via selling your users’ data for analysis is the easiest way to pay for the services but it’s at the cost of the users‘ basic privacy. There must be a better way (albeit more difficult for the software company). How a
