30 November : Facebook: Core EU Business Potentially at Risk when GDPR Comes into Force in May 2018; Legitimate Interest Exemption Likely Not An Escape Hatch; Privacy Activists Preparing to Sue for Violations
- The Capitol Forum
- The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which we have covered previously, may significantly threaten Facebook’s EU advertising revenue and its core business of providing highly targeted ads. Aral Balkan, a cyborg rights activist and co-founder of the not for profit Ind.ie, told The Capitol Forum that the GDPR is “basically Europe saying to [Facebook] that their business model is unacceptable,” and analogized the increased data protection enforcement with the beginning of the downfall of big tobacco.
11 September : Facebook fined €1.2 million in Spain
- Politico
- Facebook was fined €1.2 million Monday by Spain’s data protection watchdog for breaking the country’s privacy rules, the latest in a series of legal problems that have beset the social networking giant in recent years.
1 August : Decrypting Amber Rudd
- Aral Balkan
- Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and YouTube (Google/Alphabet, Inc) have formed the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism and Amber Rudd is asking them to quietly drop end-to-end encryption from their products. You should not believe a single word any of those companies tells you about end-to-end encryption or privacy on their platforms ever again. PS. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook.
June : Corporate Surveillance in Everyday Life
- Cracked Labs
- Report: How thousands of companies monitor, analyze, and influence the lives of billions. Who are the main players in today’s digital tracking? What can they infer from our purchases, phone calls, web searches, and Facebook likes? How do online platforms, tech companies, and data brokers collect, trade, and make use of personal data?

25 November : The Birth And Death Of Privacy: 3,000 Years of History Told Through 46 Images
- Medium/The Ferenstein Wire
- Privacy, as we understand it, is only about 150 years old. Humans do have an instinctual desire for privacy. However, for 3,000 years, cultures have nearly always prioritized convenience and wealth over privacy. Section II will show how cutting edge health technology will force people to choose between an early, costly death and a world without any semblance of privacy. Given historical trends, the most likely outcome is that we will forgo privacy and return to our traditional, transparent existence.
