Can all “privacy advocates” who defend #RightsCon (a “human rights in the digital age” conference) having Google + Facebook (whose business model violates privacy; a human right) as sponsors pls do so now. I’d love to know who not to bother with & my block button needs some love.

Same problem in academia: from my research regarding academics who work on privacy+ethics+surveillance both in computer science and social studies, you’d be surprised (-or not-) by how many have been/are funded, or in some way are related to Google.

I’d be curious to know more. We’ve been studying privacy attitudes for a while, and we’ve never even been approached. I have my own ideas as of why

Your not being approached makes me want to learn more about your work :)
