"Most people will not be able to understand, let alone control what types of information they are revealing about themselves through their eye movements,” says our researcher Jacob Leon Kröger in an interview on the rise of the biometrics market with @NEOdotLIFE. neo.life/2022/01/biomet…

🚨New preprint! “How Data Can Be Used Against People: A Classification of Personal Data Misuses” papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… We stress that data protection is not to protect data but to protect people, and propose a taxonomy of how individuals can be harmed by personal data misuse.

Very proud about this collaboration with Milagros Miceli and Florian Müller | @presseunikassel. We highlight the many ways in which data can be weaponized against people. Check out the preprint here: dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3…

The online gambling industry can exploit data in the most harmful way, by monitoring and manipulating the behaviours of vulnerable people. 🆕 We examined how a major UK gambling firm tracks and profiles players, and how it shares sensitive data with many other data companies ⬇️

"A new report from Cracked Labs helps flesh out what pervasive tracking online really means" @glynmoody wrote about our investigation into "digital profiling in the online gambling industry": privateinternetaccess.com/blog/gambling-…

We are constantly surrounded by sensors. What can their measurements reveal about you? In this piece for Weizenbaum-Institut’s annual report, I outline our research into the astounding #privacy impacts of sensors (e.g., microphones, eye trackers, motion sensors): riot.weizenbaum-institut.de/wp-content/upl…

“It’s just summer.” 🙄

11/ Meta is launching a Mixed Reality headset next month with eye tracking, which has *many* huge privacy implications. See Kröger et al's "What Does Your Gaze Reveal About You? On the Privacy Implications of Eye Tracking" rd.springer.com/content/pdf/10… Thread x.com/JL_Kroger/stat…

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Yvon Chouinard, who founded the outdoor apparel maker Patagonia and became a reluctant billionaire with his unconventional spin on capitalism, has given away the company. All Patagonia’s profits will now be used to fight climate change.🧵 nytimes.com/2022/09/14/cli…

🔹#Climatechange is a threat to human well-being & planetary health. 🔹There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable & sustainable future for all. 🔹The solution lies in climate-resilient development. #IPCC's Synthesis Report ➡️ bit.ly/SRYRpt23

#IPCC #ClimateReport Continued #GHG emissions will lead to increasing #globalwarming. Every increment of warming will intensify multiple & concurrent hazards. Deep, rapid & sustained reductions in emissions would lead to a slowdown in #globalwarming. ➡️bit.ly/SRYRpt23

All happened this week. The reality of climate change is upon us. Serious action must be taken now, not by 2030, to protect our planet and our citizens. We have all the tools we need to make our cities more resilient, restoring the planet and cut down CO2e emissions.

The state of California is suing five major fossil fuel companies over their contribution to the climate crisis. Just listen to these unflinching words by governor Gavin Newsom. History in the making…. #EndFossilFuel

A wise person once said that you will experience climate change through a series of increasingly wild videos, until you are the one taking the video.

🚀 Thrilled to share our new #PoliticalMicrotargeting report which highlights the challenges & solutions in preserving #democracy in the #digital age. A huge thanks to the #SummitForDemocracy Working Group, which I've been honored to co-lead, for making this vital work possible!
