Pay per privacy? 💸 ORG's new report warns that Meta mustn't use 'consent or pay' to bypass data protection law. It's not lawful to have to pay so that our personal data isn't used for targeted advertising, aka stalker ads. Read more ⬇️ #StopStalkerAds openrightsgroup.org/press-releases…

Meta recently settled a case, agreeing not to use personal data for profiling in order to flog ads. Since then thousands have used tools by ORG and other groups to exercise their right to opt-out. But Meta's playing for time to work out how to sustain surveillance advertising.

98% of Meta’s $165bn of revenue in 2024 came from advertising with nearly $70bn profit. Profit has come at the expense of our privacy and the right to opt-out threatens Meta's intrusive advertising model. So Meta's expected to expand consent or pay to keep lining their pockets.

Meta must offer a tracking-free version of their services that's accessible without having to pay. Our report outlines alternatives to 'consent or pay' that aren't reliant on harvesting users' personal data. This includes contextual advertising or subscriptions for advertisers.

⚠️Facial recognition in your supermarket Asda is trialling this technology in Manchester. We asked shoppers how they feel about being spied on. It turns out innocent people don’t like being put in a private police style line-up.

I predict a riot? Crime predicting tech is being used to surveil and monitor us based on historic biases. It doesn't predict crime. It reinforces the over-policing of already over-policed communities. Tell your Council to BAN crime predicting tech ⬇️ action.openrightsgroup.org/write-your-loc…

“The idea that the police are actively tracking the location of women they believe have had self administered abortions under the guise of ‘safety’ does not make me feel any better about this kind of surveillance,” EFF’s Eva told 404 Media. 404media.co/a-texas-cop-se…
