Oh absolutely, and I still can't work out how they are ever going to be compliant with GDPR requirements unless they completely upend their whole business model.I am a bit cynical.
The EU GDPR regulation arrives into force on the 25th May 2018 after which large fines are available for data breaches. Very large fines. And you have to fess up about breaches within 72 hours of discovering them.
It seems more than convenient that Facebook has fessed up about this Cambridge Analytica breach ahead of the time when it could be liable for a large GDPR fine.
Billionaire Trump backer Robert Mercer 'funded group behind anti-Muslim election ads'Robert Mercer, whose family has reportedly donated $36.6m to Republican candidates since 2010, reportedly gave the money to Secure America Now, an organisation that produced several video advertisements apparently designed to promote anti-Muslim sentiment.
One of the advertisements, which was shown to voters in swing states that included Nevada and North Carolina, showed France and Germany as if run under sensationalised version of Sharia law.
It showed French schoolchildren being trained to fight for Isis and the Mona Lisa painting covered in a burka. It also showed an image of the Eiffel Tower with a Muslim star and crescent.
“Under Sharia law, you can enjoy everything the Islamic State of France has to offer, as long as you follow the rules,” said the narrator of one the adverts, that appeared as if it was a travel promotion.
Last October, Bloomberg News reported that staff from Google and Facebook worked closely with Secure America Now, which spent several million dollars on the election adverts.
Now, the watchdog group Open Secrets has alleged that Mr Mercer was the most significant of just three donors to Secure America Now. The group’s tax return from 2016, showed that the reclusive Mr Mercer, 71, provided $2m to the organisation.
“Most Americans have never heard of the far-right neoconservative nonprofit that ran the ads. It has no employees and no volunteers, and it’s run out of the offices of a Washington DC law firm,” Open Secrets wrote of Secure America Now.
“More importantly, most voters never saw the ads. And that was by design. The group….worked hand in hand with Facebook and Google to target their message at voters in swing states who were most likely to be receptive to them.”
Bloomberg reported the adverts commissioned by Secure America Now were produced by Harris Media, an Austin-based digital advertising firm.
This still doesn't explain to me how these adverts were supposedly delivered.
There was a seven week strike at Ford Langley but I think it's most unlikely that this is what is being referred to. The document actually says "a strike at a UK car transport plant". There were several vehicle transport companies in 1990. Can't find reports of strikes at any of them that year but these would not have been big news stories.First "field trials" were used to "break up" a UK car strike in 1990. I had a quick Google and I couldn't find anything that jumped out, but maybe someone else can remember a - presumably highish profile - car strike from 1990.
I wonder if a decent way to explain it is, would you be OK with some person following you all day every day and noting down where you shop, who you talk to, what you eat and who you're working with?
Not quite the same I think.Like what happens to those under MHA detentions/CTOs (and indeed, voluntary patients and all)?
Not quite the same I think.
It's not spying when it's made abundantly clear you're under surveillance is it?Indeed, people choose to use Facebook.
Do you believe Facebook spying on people is wrong, but it’s ok when the state does it?
It's not spying when it's made abundantly clear you're under surveillance is it?
If you're under detention the provider has a duty to keep tabs on you. To varying degrees of course.When does this happen then?
In other words, it isn’t made ‘abundantly clear’, is it?
And even if it was, why would you support it (I note you dodged the question first time round)
