UK Google users to lose EU data protection due to Brexit
The accounts of Google users in the UK will be controlled out of the US now that the country has left the European Union, according to Reuters. This means that the data belonging to British citizens will no longer fall under the control of European privacy regulation, even though they are still protected by the GDPR.
Google accounts of European citizens are controlled through Ireland, the site of the tech giant's regional headquarters. Now, ownership of UK data will switch from Ireland to the US.
The move was prompted by Brexit, the UK's departure from the EU, which took place at the end of January. According to Reuters, Google intends to make the move clear to UK users by asking them to acknowledge new terms of service, Reuters reported Wednesday.
Google didn't respond to a request for comment.
In Europe, the privacy of internet users is protected by a far-reaching piece of legislation that went into effect in 2018 called the General Data Protection Regulation, or the GDPR. Its introduction changed the rules for companies that collect, store or process information on residents of the EU, requiring more openness about what data they have and who they share it with. Currently the US has no equivalent to the GDPR, which is viewed by many as the gold standard in data protection.
Even though the UK has left the EU, the GDPR still continues to apply in the country under British law. It is enforced by the UK data protection watchdog known as the Information Commissioner's Office, which will likely take a keen interest in where data belonging to UK citizens is moved following Brexit.
"Our role is to make sure the privacy rights of people in the UK are protected and we are in contact with Google over this issue," a spokeswoman for the ICO said in a statement. "Any organisation dealing with UK users' personal data should do so in line with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the GDPR which will continue to be the law unless otherwise stated by UK Government."

Trump campaign buys top advertising spot on YouTube for Election Day
President Trump’s reelection campaign has purchased the advertising space on YouTube’s homepage for Election Day.
The campaign purchased the website’s masthead on Nov. 3 nationwide, a person familiar with the deal told Bloomberg. While the specifics of the ad buy were not disclosed, the cost of such advertising is estimated from hundreds of thousands of dollars to more than $1 million a day.
“In the past, campaigns, PACS and political groups have run various types of ads leading up to Election Day,” an official for the company told Bloomberg. “All advertisers follow the same process and are welcome to purchase the masthead space as long as their ads comply with our policies.”

Conservative Students Are Three Times More Likely to Self-Censor Than Liberal Peers: Study
The report says that almost 68 percent of conservative students report that they have kept a political opinion to themselves at least once, comparing to roughly 49 percent of moderates and 24 percent of liberals who have experienced the same self-censorship in the classroom. While 75 percent of conservatives report worrying about disapproval from fellow students, only 26 percent of liberals have the same concern.
The conservative students at UNC-Chapel Hill also appear to be especially concerned about “critical comments” on social media, the researchers found. More than 53 percent of the conservatives indicate that they worry about such comments “at least one or twice,” but less than 20 percent of liberals and about 40 percent of moderate students share the same concern.
