We are hearing the words "war crime" from some quarters for the first time.

We were wondering why they had not cared about war crimes in the region until now.

There seems to have been an update to the concept of a war crime.

Weshalb es dringend nötig wäre, Datenkraken wie Google, Amazon, sowie diesen verdammten Databrokern ihr Treiben in Sachen Datensammelei und -handel schwer zu sanktionieren, haben @netzpolitik_feed, Le Monde, BR, arte und weitere Partnermedien in dieser extrem sehenswerten Reportage zusammen getragen.

Apps sammeln detaillierte Standortdaten. Die Informationen landen in einem weltweiten Netzwerk aus Datenhändlern und Werbefirmen. Sie verraten Wohnorte und Arbeitsplätze – bis hin zu Bordellbesuchen oder Klinikaufenthalten.
