@johnnyryan oh, oh wow!!!!

speaking as someone who was working advertising privacy at Google when the Cambridge Analytica revelations came to light, and has since moved to civil society because this kind of accountability only happens from outside the system...

about time. we hope the Commission listens.

Google is not the only company that desperately needs enforcement action for democracy's sake, but they are a major one.

@ireneista i worked privacy at Google too and it’s the only job where I’ve ever left because I straight up hated my employer in the end
