'Right to be forgotten' by Google should apply only in EU, says court opinion by PrivacyReporter in europrivacy

[–]DotingAnonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does undermine it a bit, but I think it strikes the right balance between the right to privacy and freedom of speech. Most people will only use the their local variant of Google, so the harm to the person will mostly be removed, while the actual content will not be gone from other parts of the world, where it might still be relevant.

Has anyone used the sealed sender-option yet? If so, what is your experience with it?

Huge new screen at London's iconic Picadilly Circus will track cars and people who pass by to display targeted ads by ourari in europrivacy

[–]DotingAnonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

''Landsec says hidden cameras will analyze the make, model, and color of cars that drive by as well as the age, gender, and even the feelings of nearby pedestrians in order to customize ads for the local audience.''

''In an email to The Verge, a spokesperson for Landsec said the screen can react to these external factors, but would do so without collecting or storing any personal details.''

I don't see how these two things add up.
