There has already been some media coverage of #Linkedin's decision to limit ad #targeting based on sensitive personal data and comply with the #DigitalServicesAct #DSA instead.

Most failed to mention that this was based on a joint complaint filed by @edri, @Freiheitsrechte, @bitsoffreedom and @globalwitness, so I took the liberty to write down the inside story for you :)

Privacy win: LinkedIn limits ad targeting after EDRi complaint - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

LinkedIn gave in to pressure from civil society and Digital Services Act (DSA) enforcers based on a complaint by EDRi and three partner organisations. The platform will no longer allow advertisers to target ads based on sensitive personal data from users. That’s a big win for privacy and the DSA, but it also exposes one of the DSA’s more hidden weaknesses.

Holy shit, I thought I knew how evil the #SurveillanceAds industry was but here we are:

Two-thirds of European websites just ignore your #cookie choice and track you anyways, researchers from #ETHzurich found. 🤯

81% of Americans support banning #bigtech from collecting people’s personal information and using it to target them with #surveillance ads.

Another attempt in the US to introduce legislation to #BanSurveillanceAdvertising 🎉

Let's see if they can be the pioneers instead of Europe this time.

RT @accountabletech: Two years ago, we launched a transatlantic coalition of 50+ civil society groups fighting for an end to Big Tech’s toxic business model of surveillance advertising.

Today, #BanSurveillanceAdvertising is no longer considered radical, but is becoming policy around the world. 🧵
