Soooo... is #GA4 finally OK? 🍿 “Today, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The decision concludes that the United States ensures an adequate level of protection – comparable to that of the European Union – for personal data transferred from the EU to US companies under the new framework. On the basis of the new adequacy decision, personal data can flow safely from the EU to US companies participating in the Framework, without having to put in place additional data protection safeguards.” #NoConsentNoTracking #GDPR #dataprivacy #Google https://lnkd.in/gUKYGwEU

Max Schrems is well-known for a reason - and this is it. IMO, he and the NOYB are not going to let this drop until the fundamental differences in privacy protection between US and EU citizens is fixed (and rightly so). There needs to be a level playing field on this issue. From what I have read so far, this "framework" has only tweaked words will little impact on reality. I just wish other analytics tools were as investigated as much as Google e.g. Adobe

DID YOU KNOW? LinkedIn is spying on your browser extensions! While working on my own browser extension, I discovered that LinkedIn is actively scanning for other installed extensions. There’s code embedded in their site that loops through over 1,800 extension IDs, attempting to retrieve specific files from each extension’s package. If successful, LinkedIn knows exactly which extensions you’re using - especially those that might scrape content, automate actions, or modify their interface. This isn’t new. LinkedIn was first caught doing this over eight years ago, when they were scanning for just 38 extensions. That number has now ballooned to 1,800+! While some of these are clearly automation bots used for spam (no sympathy there), others are legitimate productivity tools. Why does this matter? This technique can be used by ANY website to detect extensions you’ve installed. It’s a powerful method for fingerprinting users - tracking them even when cookies and other identifiers are blocked. Privacy concerns. Since LinkedIn is probing elements installed on your device, doesn’t this fall under the ePrivacy Directive? There’s no mention of this practice in their privacy policy - nor any transparency about how they use this data. Is this a privacy violation? Should platforms be required to disclose this kind of tracking? Curious to hear your thoughts. #Privacy #LinkedIn #BrowserExtensions #Fingerprinting #CyberSecurity
