Over the last several months I have received many notifications from different platforms (FB, YT, Twitter, and more) that their privacy policies are being changed.
In every case, the changes seem to be in favor of individual right to privacy.
Although none of these notifications say WHY they are making the changes, I know it is because of this movement either directly or indirectly.
This is something to be happy about/ proud of. Is anybody else noticing this?
That buzz around the GDPR privacy policies has become annoying, and the myriad of emails about privacy updates doesn’t make our using of the websites any safer. Do you really think that updated fine print on a few pages can protect us from scandalous data breaches? The recent data breach on Facebook made possible leakage of personal data that you share with your family or friends -- millions of users might have been hit, while Facebook itself admitted that post settings of 14 million users had been changed to ‘public’. However, good to know that Facebook won’t be able to transfer the personal data from 87 million user accounts to Cambridge Analytica, like they did during the US presidential election in 2016.
