    Ever see an ad on a billboard that seemed a little too specific to your interests? It's no coincidence. By tracking your phone, some companies are showing targeted ads in public, the same way ads are tailored to you online. My latest for

  2. You're probably thinking only suckers would fall for that. That's what I thought too when I moved here. It's insane. But you often don't have a choice in a market where there's more people than affordable homes. Hopefully this "guidance" from the state does something about it.

  3. This is monumental. For those who don't live in New York, you generally have to pay a "broker's fee" of about 1 month's rent for the privilege of moving into an apartment, even if the broker didn't do anything to help you find the place.

    At CVS, a form for staff members to report errors asks whether the patient is a “media threat.” CVS said in a statement it wouldn’t provide details on what it called its “escalation process.”

    But with a private right of action, consumers can take enforcement into their own hands when they want to protect their rights. The Facebook case in Illinois is proof that this legal framework can be effective 5/6

    That means it's up to state attorneys general and the FTC to chase after every violation of the few privacy laws we actually have on the books. They don't have the resources to take on every case, which means in a lot of cases companies can ignore the law free of consequences 4/6

    It's hard for consumers to sue a company for a privacy case--even if they've done something illegal. That's because when your privacy is violated, you usually don't lose anything you can attach a dollar amount to. In the US, that basically means courts aren't interested 3/6

    The Illinois Biometrics Privacy Act, which says companies need explicit consent before the collect data for things like facial recognition, includes a "Private Right of Action." That lets consumer sue companies if they break the law. It's a big deal 2/6

    Facebook has agreed to settled a $550 M facial recognition lawsuit. Proof positive that in one corner of the US, privacy laws are holding big tech in check. It's all thanks to one specific part of the Illinois Biometrics Privacy Act. 1/6

    Facebook's Clear History tool is finally here. Surprise: it doesn't actually delete anything. But it will give you a first hand look at how Facebook is tracking you—even when you aren't on Facebook.
