@zackwhittaker Little doubt a byproduct of Western Capitalism profit over all else, for generations, resulting in further, more intimate betrayals. #DataMining need not be so invasive, like overt Capitalism.

@openrightsgroup It would be convenient to apply all culpability to The USA, in this increasing emergency. But the fact of more authoritarian autocracies around the world, looking to monopolize vital root infrastructure, like #datamining, is clearly on the rise. The wealthiest are hedging their bets that #globalization is more prone to a more classical collapse, than just a normative correction or contraction. Worse, they're not educating the public nor working with ethical representation in governments, for more eloquent and #sustainable correction.

@danmac
If my understanding of big data is correct and not about #AISlop #LLM hoovering, then the data centres with need are ‘boutique’ for curated datasets dealing with very narrow applications in health, academic and commercial research, medecine, and biology, etc… Those we can accommodate and ‘federate’ when needed. The data mining tools, while computer intensive, don’t need them either. So, yeah… piss off and no, we’re not goiong to miss out on anything, especially when the #bubble bursts… soonish.

#Patreon didn't care about a popular creator's (I haven't subbed to for years) ToS violation where they scraped my new, current Patreon-only email for off-Patreon mailing list use. Three times they said, essentially, "Oh well, dude." I realize I get more use from other donation options and did a full delete on my account and data.

Taking back my data and cash one account at a time. Long process, but worth it. 👌

Rental platform unnecessarily collected the data of millions of Australians, privacy commissioner finds

"In a first-of-its-kind determination against one of the platforms, published on Wednesday, the privacy commissioner, Carly Kind, found 2Apply, operated by InspectRealEstate, had collected excessive personal information in an unfair manner.

Kind found that 2Apply did not need to collect gender information, detail on dependents, student status, bankruptcy status, retirement status, previous living history, current ownership of property, applications for other properties, bond/rent assistance application status and citizenship status or visa expiry.

Kind also found 2Apply could collect less information on emergency contacts, vehicle details, certain ID documents, proof of income documents and employment details.

The privacy commissioner found that 2Apply’s application system exhibited what is dubbed “confirmshaming” – an online tactic that uses guilt to discourage a user from opting out of something..

The form noteed that providing information would “help speed up your application process” and not providing it may “affect whether you are considered as a suitable tenant for the property”.

Kind wrote: “These statements are not necessarily untrue or misleading … However, by presenting these messages to individuals, my view is that the respondent is employing language that suggests that the volume and type of personal information provided is an indicator of their suitability as a tenant.”"
