Great podcast episode to drop on #nationalprivacyday!
Today is National Data Privacy Day! Last week I sat down with the the Noncompliant podcast to discuss the importance of state action on this issue. We cannot have an unregulated market when it comes to our private information. #dataprivacynow #dataprivacyIL
On last night’s WGN TV news, coverage of the KIDS Act featuring our board member Derek Huyser, as well as KIDS sponsor Sen. Christina Castro. Catch the video and write-up here: wgntv.com/2019/05/16/a-warni…

Twitter bug disclosed some users’ location data to an unnamed partner @TechCrunch “The bug only affected a portion of Twitter’s iOS user base, the company says, and they’ve since been notified of the issue.” @twitter #DataProtection #Geolocation #Privacy techcrunch.com/2019/05/13/tw…
It’s not too late! Come see our very own Matt Erickson speak today at the Advisen Cyber Risk Conference on the security and privacy risks of common IoT devices. advisenltd.com/media/confere…

Big Brother doesn’t have to mean the government. Freedom is lost in a #surveillance society regardless of public or private sectors doing the watching. The KIDS Act (IL SB 1719), something we’re supporting, is also mentioned here.

Since apparently the phone makers are running out of ideas about what to do with #smartphones, here’s one: dumb down a little, add physical button for turning on/off microphone and a physical shutter/cover for the camera. #Privacy

“Illinois legislations are considering a “right to know” bill that would let consumers find out what information about them is collected by companies like Google and Facebook, and what kind of businesses they share it with” nytimes.com/2017/03/26/techn…
A study finds that people will alter their behavior when they think they don't have privacy. Maybe that's why Big Data and ISPs don't want regulation protecting your #privacy rights online?

Well-meaning tools can leak your #private data to anybody. Why is it on consumers to have to vet every single last device and service before passing it on to their children or elderly family members?

Why are we fighting to support passage of the KIDS Act (SB 1719)? Back in 2017, the FBI published a report warning Americans of the dangers from Internet-connected toys. You should know when Big Data is listening.

Short answer: no.
If you're in Illinois, tell your lawmakers to support the Keep Internet Devices Safe (KIDS) Act!

Everything Jules said. This is phenomenal and what we want to see in the world.
"Google set to launch tools to ensure data monopoly" should be the headline instead.
It's not groups like us that are going to make it impossible for your business to advertise online. It's companies like Google running roughshod over your rights.

This is what happens when the largest data broker on the planet controls the dominant browser on the web. Everyone loses.

More news about SB1719, the Keep Internet Devices Safe (KIDS) Act. The article is right that there's certainly been compromise with Big Tech to avoid them completely killing the bill, but it still moves the needle on necessary #privacy protection.
