    #DataPrivacyDay – name itself is wrong: should be #PrivacyDay unless you have interests in redefining meaning of privacy in the digital era.

        We already know what privacy means; the challenge is to apply & protect it in the digital era, not redefine it. #PrivacyDay

        @aral Well, did you see even a single Privacy by Design solution? (But endless stream of entities relabelling their invasive structures)

        @Engbrg Yep, a festival of #PrivacyWashing (didn’t you hear, Facebook practices privacy by design apparently) ;)

        @aral Even worse than double-think. If you relativize all terminology, you end up in a Huxley-like collapse. #EUdatap reform failed badly

        Don’t let those with vested interests in defining a separate set of (lesser) human rights for digital tech dictate your language #PrivacyDay

        @aral Even worse, known here in Europe as #DataProtectionDay. Overreaching laws sheltering under the privacy flag.

        @cyberleagle interesting to know what your problem is with European data protection laws, specific the #GDPR

        @drs_Andor They have many problems, but my specific point here is that DP goes far beyond protecting privacy interests.

        @cyberleagle who’s privacy interest, what definition of privacy and in what way? interesting point of view for sure

        @aral depends on your definition of privacy, in this case it should be dataprotectionday I suppose :)

        @aral To be fair, it could be related to the specific issues related to protecting your privacy from a data perspective.

        @aral Fair point, but definition of "personal data" generally wider than that of "private information". So not nec. seeking to lessen impact
