Do people with a better grasp of other areas watch #Newsnight with the same despair I do whenever they touch tech, recently social media and 'AI' (and tell me the whole world is excitedly following Artemis two)? I don't think they've ever mentioned privacy or surveillance, or sham regulation from the #ICO.
I don't know whether to feel sorry for the people who regurgitate bullshit PR or to despise them for their lack of a nose for truth. This is the "BBCs flagship news programme".
In the move towards #SovereignTech what is going to be done over the monopoly control which Microsoft and Google have over email?
People who don't use their email services [points to self] are finding their emails increasingly blocked as spam, locking people into their services.
#Email is #CriticalInfrastructure which rests in the hands of two US corporations. It is also anti-competitive and a mass privacy risk for individuals and business.
#NationalSecurity #Monopoly
... #ICO 🤡
#Ocado's online experience for new customers is awful. I got a voucher offering 30% off a first order which should be £25 and applying the voucher only gave £5 discount.
So I'm sitting waiting for a chat op to delete my account as this is not an option in the account settings - which I believe is required by UK law.
The sham that is the #ICO are of course not enforcing consumer rights like this.
How can the answer to protecting privacy be age verification?
The ICO (UK) seems to think so. Their fine against Reddit for relying on self-declaration is met with a call for intrusive biometric scans or ID uploads.
All this when privacy dangers are emerging within the industry.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) recently published an open letter to online platforms providers, calling them “to strengthen age assurance measures to ensure young children are not accessing services that are not designed for them”.
