If you think this is US-only, it's not.

If you think the GDPR protects you, it's doesn't.

If you hadn't realised privacy is a national security and corporate espionage issue, it is.

If you think politicians can't tackle this, they can.

If you believe that tech or business need this, they don't.
Either real-time bidding data or app SDK data is being bought and used by ICE to seize people from the streets. If you didn’t believe that the adtech stack is a human rights concern, I’m not sure what more evidence you need. www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...
ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day
Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

Enjoying the thought-provoking final @sdingov.bsky.social keynote - Steph Wright on AI in public services: Responsibility, realism, and public good.

Had a lovely time waving my arms around and taking about how much I love the web at #ProductForThePeople

A great event run by great people.

(And a little reminder of the Big Give which starts next week.)

Why a shared NHS patient record is hard, and what needs to change to make it a reality.

Written by @e17chrisfleming.bsky.social and @mattstibbs.bsky.social, who've both been at the sharp end of NHS data sharing.

Men should read -> “There is a scandal about HRT – but it’s not the one Panorama thinks it is” - the NHS still suffers from a patriarchal bias that still undervalues women’s health (in particular reproductive health).
