100% data privacy should be the default.
Unless you choose to share.
memba The Government buys your data from Facebook? memba?
This is just fake talk. Big tech and global powers are the reason for Zero Privacy. They are in full control. Privacy does not exist anymore post 9/11.
Exactly there was a kid who's computer e got hacked n they told the mom they couldn't do anything . A school computer and people had to suffer thru a real cyber attack
Privacy regulations are essential, but the problem is that companies rely on the regulators ignorance to bypass the restrictions. For individuals to control how much privacy they want first there should be serious penalties for violations. Second, privacy setting choices should be unobtrusive, changeable at any time, and companies should be forbidden from blocking features that don't require a specific access (for example the companion app for a smart watch that does not have GPS should not ask for GPS permissions in order to function – Nokia/Withings I'm looking at you). They should also be forbidden from nuisanceware, like web pages that prompt you every single time for whether you want the minimum cookies or tracking everything… if you already told them you want "essential cookies" then stop nagging in the hope that users will cave and accept being tracked. Next, you should have the option to choose as little or as much as you want, even to the level of "share with nobody, not even your employees or your content algorithms"… and this last one is far more important than it seems at first, as the algorithms shape what we see and can be used to manipulate our opinions. For example, google and youtube heavily filter your responses while ignoring a lot of elements of your query, forcing localized content onto you (which is a royal nuisance for those of us that travel extensively) and fail to give you important filters like "last 24 hours" or "exact match of every word or phrase" so that 90-95% of the results have nothing to do with what you asked, not because you weren't specific or the content isn't there but because of extremely heavy bias on the algorithms. I seriously hope that US privacy regulations end up driven by end-user needs and not by lobbyists and ignorance on the matter. But to be honest I fully expect them to come out too limited and that companies will figure out ways to comply with the letter of the law while fully violating the spirit… within weeks or months of passing.
I want to block all ads and spam, scam content 💩
How does this get enforced if the government can't monitor company software? Are parents just gonna call government on companies?
These companies need to fix their tech because I've been trying to get rid of targeted ads and suggestions related to spiders and every now and then I still get something that shows them, especially during October.
Too bad Chuck Schumers daughters lobby for big tech like Meta.
how about all people not just minors?
Their should make a law where kids can't have smartphones.
It’s cool to see more checks & balances.
Oh lord, here comes price increase and less privacy! Call your congressman now, tell him to stay away from private sector as they are paid on performance and congressman just have to get more than 50% votes for employment!!
I’m in favor of this.
This needs to change!!!!
