No one should have the right to 'own' or sell your data, but here we are, you've given it away for free. Perhaps we should copy the music industry, so every time someone accesses your data you're paid a royalty. https://t.co/R7WiE4uLME

Developers aren’t taught about eprivacy law. They should be. Clients don’t stipulate privacy compliance in deliverables. They should do. https://t.co/nms8UDjwgl

The FT analyzed 100 health websites, 79% of them dropped cookies on visitors, allowing them to be tracked by third-party companies online. This was done without consent, making the practice illegal under European Union regulations. #digitalhealth #GDPR https://t.co/I5yRJTWdGW

Most top health websites share data on your visit with dozens of adtech firms and data brokers. But that's not all: many of them also share everything you enter or search for, from symptoms to drug names. Unbelievable.
