Ah, i think what you are referring to is actually permission. Consent for a legal basis is very heavily confused with permission to process / created PII. Its a dark pattern confusing human consent with online permission to process data.

The President Wears No Clothes - This Weeks South Parkis incredible - stripping the emperor.

I think what Big-Tech doesnt get - is that Transparency is now a 2 way Street, Recommend South S27e05 - the best episode ever.

The task of promoting Digital Transparency for data control is now a lot easier. As the President and all his men become emperor's without clothes to the rest of the world.

How fragile is this bubble of subverted American Belief? Can the mythical line dividing red and blue hold up? Bets anyone?

Ultimately, if differential privacy was on the "users' side, before the service collects the data, then it is ethical - its truly differential privacy. When on Service side - Its Differential Security (not privacy), and requires a legal basis and transparency to be legitimate and ethical.

I am enjoying your podcast - and really like the technology, but there is a clear ethical issue, in that the purpose is specific to processing - using Diff Privacy - for a secondary purpose of use without consent or permission is not ethical.

We work on differential transparency - which is a differential privacy tool for individuals, in which two digital receipts (like cookies) are compared prior to a session so the individual can see if the state of privacy is as expected. And can apply differential privacy prior to pii collection

Ethically, we have the option, the use of Differential Privacy without permission, and record of the purpose (aka a receipt) is considered a Secondary Purpose of use, and used as a way to legitimise mass / deceptive surveillance practices (illegal data) like mar-tech / cookies.

@mastersofprivacy.bsky.social (listening to your latest pod-cast)
Could you clarify - does the creation of synthetic data, or the use of differential privacy on data constitute a secondary use o this data?

Consumer protection is security, not privacy, Consumes are already digitally identified. Consumer protection is just surveillance and permission governance without consent.

This is a stupid argument.

ZKPs aren’t bad because they’re not confidential enough.

Worry instead because people can ask you to prove anything, at any time, to provision or deny you access to services, while saying β€˜privacy is solved’! Rules, not disclosure, are the risk.

Do better @eff.org.

Digital Transparency is required to scale consent and personal data control for Digital Consent and permissions for AI to be standardised. The authoritative international instruments are Convention 108+ (Ratified in March) and ISO/IEC 29100 - free and open access security and privacy framework

Almost 5 years into procedures on illegal data transfers, the DPAs asked us, if we're still interested in the cases. This is the first ever communication of the Lithuanian lead DPA - we don't even know if the data controllers have ever been served with our complaints.

Exciting to get closer to - standardised transparency for security and privacy that meets Canada's high bar of Digital Consent.

+100 Very nice to see some pushback and hopefully a new round of innovation can be had,
- Digital Age verification is essentially a (know your customer) device, back door digital identification verifications, using terms and conditions, which is not consent !

Enforce transparency regulation to stop Meta.

Try out the Trial Transparency Collective Complaint. A complaint, using international standards, for the maximum penalty against for operating without Valid Consent. Stop the data theft at its source!
