NUance Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Quote The Unlikely Activists Who Took On Silicon Valley — and Won By Nicholas Confessore www.nytimes.com Aug. 14, 2018 Mining personal data has become a trillion-dollar business — which is why activists are pushing laws to curb the practice, and why Facebook and other companies are desperate to stop them. LINK Great, great NY Times article. This grassroots effort to pass a California referendum that limits user data collection ties directly into the Cambridge Analytica scandal LINK, the resulting plummet of Facebook stock price, and Donald Trump's re-election campaign. Given the implications there has been surprisingly little media coverage. Heh. Go figure. 1 Quote Link to comment
