This is a good read for better understanding the role Facebook is playing in many parts of the African continent. theguardian.com/technology/202…

”While Facebook in Africa remains broadly unpoliced, the platform’s benefit to the voiceless will be drowned out by those who are louder and more powerful. In the meantime, for small businesses and users alike, Facebook is unavoidable.”

In a groundbreaking decision, the Austrian Data Protection Authority ("Datenschutzbehörde" or "DSB") has decided on a model case by noyb that the continuous use of Google Analytics violates the GDPR.

Max Schrems: "In the long run we either need proper protections in the US, or we will end up with separate products for the US and the EU. I would personally prefer better protections in the US, but this is up to the US legislator - not to anyone in Europe."

The practice of NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) dictating what you are free to say or not say about a company you left, even many years after you left it, has always seemed utterly bizarre to me…

Over one-third of the U.S. workforce is bound by an NDA!

washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

”NDAs attempt to impose several obligations upon a new employee. They demand silence, often broadly worded to protect against speaking up against corporate culture or saying anything that would portray the company and its executives in a negative light.”

hbr.org/2018/01/ndas-a…

”NDAs also attempt to expand the definitions of secrecy to cover more information than the traditional bounds of trade secret law, in effect preventing an employee from leaving their employer and continuing to work in the same field.”

hbr.org/2018/01/ndas-a…

Google has everyone, at all layers of the company, including vendors, visitors and contractors sign an NDA. This agreement prohibits them from:

—->

- speaking up about illegal conduct,
- reporting sexual harassment and employment issues,
- talking about wages and workplace conditions,
- discussing dangerous product defects,
- among other things.
