#microsoft moet van de rechter 50.000 euro betalen aan een Nederlandse #LinkedIn gebruiker, omdat het doorging met het plaatsen en uitlezen van #trackingcookies. Het bedrijf werd in juni 2024 opgedragen daarmee te stoppen.

De LinkedIn-gebruiker stapte in eerste instantie naar de rechter omdat hij meent dat LinkedIn zonder zijn toestemming trackingcookies op zijn computer plaatst.

Remember when #GitHub proudly announced that they don't need a #CookiePopup, because they don't use any #TrackingCookies?

This screenshot is from today.

Does The Verge really value my privacy if they share my personal data with 843 partners? It seems unlikely that they’re taking appropriate care.

I’d like to read this article on The Verge, but not so much that sharing my personal data with 848 surveillance companies seems like a fair price.

Does the RHS need to share my personal data with hundreds of partner companies? Seems unlikely, but it looks like my privacy isn’t a priority.

The end of May coinciding with the end of a four-day workweek was a pleasant bonus of Memorial Day’s spot on the calendar this year. Another bonus: I had my last client-paid copy for the month filed by 2:09 p.m. Friday.

Patreon readers got one other post, a rant about the woeful UX of a Hilton offer for double points on upcoming hotel stays. That didn’t get published until almost 9 p.m. on Friday–which is still a lot better than the filing frenzy I’ve exhibited in the final minutes of the final days of other months.

5/28/2024: T-Mobile to Buy Regional Carrier UScellular, PCMag

I didn’t notice the name on the credit of the photo of a T-Mobile flag on a golf course that I’d selected from Getty Images to illustrate this post until I copied that metadata to paste into PCMag’s CMS. That’s when I realized that my Georgetown Voice friend Darren Carroll, a seriously talented photographer, had taken that shot during an idle moment at a golf tournament sponsored by the carrier.

5/28/2024: A Lot of Websites Ask You About Cookies. How Should You Answer?, AARP

My editor at AARP asked if I could write an explainer about those dialogs you see on so many pages that suggest, ask, implore or assume that you’re okay with the site–and, in most cases, advertising networks–writing information about your visit to small text files saved on your device. After talking to numerous experts, I continue to think that your best response to those dialogs, should you not want to be tracked by advertisers, is to use a browser like Apple’s Safari, Microsoft’s Edge and Mozilla’s Firefox that will block ad-network trackers by default.

5/29/2024: Verizon Enlists AST SpaceMobile to Kill Off Its US Dead Zones, PCMag

Verizon’s apparent disinterest in using low-Earth-orbit satellites to provide at least emergency-level coverage in dead zones was looking increasingly weird. Then the carrier signed up the same satellite operator as AT&T to provide that backup connectivity, although it seems to be more conservative in its sales pitch than AT&T.

5/30/2024: Android Update Will Let You Fix Dumb Texting Typos (to Other Android Users), PCMag

I’ve yet to get the update to Google’s Messages app that enables this editing of sent RCS messages–assuming the recipients also have the same update installed–so I cannot yet report on how satisfying it might feel to fix a text typo.

5/30/2024: IRS Direct File App to Return for 2025, Welcome Taxpayers in More States, PCMag

This was one bit of news that I didn’t expect to see coming this week, but with the information-security conference I was attending not yielding any obvious breaking news, I jumped on the chance to write this up instead. And to point out to readers that while the IRS may call this rollout of its free tax-prep app “permanent,” you have to expect that voters returning convicted felon Donald Trump to the White House would soon be followed by Trump scrapping this program.

5/31/2024: FCC: It’s Game Over for Affordable Broadband Connectivity Program, PCMag

The official end of the ACP and the $30 monthly discounts on broadband it provided for more than 20 million American households led to my editors asking me to cover this program one more time.

I wanted to know when Jasmine flowers. The Royal Horticultural Society wants to share my personal data with hundreds of their “partners”. How is this reasonable?

Why do Conde Nast’s partners need to identify me by my device characteristics? There’s no obvious reason for this to be “necessary” for my use of the site, so this appears to be deliberate non-compliance with the Data Protection Act.
