🧵I'm such an ardent teacher of consent.
So many hurt individuals will put themselves through sex when they don't actually want it, for many reasons. It took me years teaching my mother that agreeing to sex "just to shut him up about it" or "because I owe it to him" is NOT consentual sex, and that responsibility lies on all parties involved. You are just as responsible as your partner(s) is.

The City of Łódź is surveilling residents through its municipal websites.

Before a user can meaningfully consent, signals about their activity are already sent into advertising and analytics systems.

Our investigation documents this across 28 domains, including services tied to public information access.

Report to UODO and UKE: Update on lodz.pl and Łódź municipal services

In short: An audit of 28 municipal domains revealed a pattern: advertising and analytical tags activate in the resident's browser before they can even click the consent banner. The case has been in progress since November 2025: a notice to UODO with 9 charges, a notice to UKE, a notice to the prosecutor's office, supplements, and an audit of 28 municipal domains that confirmed the pattern. This is not a dispute over a poorly configured banner or cookies, but about an architecture that merges public communication, advertising, and profiling into one difficult-to-account-for mechanism.

OpenAI violated Canadian privacy laws, federal and provincial watchdogs say

Commissioners from four of Canada’s privacy watchdogs have found that OpenAI violated Canadian privacy laws while developing and training its early models of ChatGPT.

Philippe Dufresne, Canada’s privacy commissioner, was joined by his provincial counterparts from British Columbia, Alberta, and Québec to announce the findings of a joint investigation into the tech giant. The investigation examined how OpenAI sourced training data for its early, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models, which included scraped content from publicly accessible internet sources like social media and blog posts, licensed third party sources like media outlets and stock image vendors, and user interactions with ChatGPT.

Dufresne noted that all four regulators found OpenAI had violated various federal and provincial privacy laws, including the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and its provincial counterparts in Alberta, BC, and Québec.

Should the default access duration be capped at 24h for consent given under economic pressure? Especially in non-lending contexts (e.g. housing) where data access can 'inadvertently' create ongoing surveillance (e.g. should be a one-time check for a landlord).

You are talking about free press, but how can we read the free press when it's blocked by cookie popups?

I think EU and its bureaucracy GDPR is to blame!

They might be legally required, but they're also blocking everything you want to read.
