In addition to accusations of breaking children's privacy laws that we shared a few weeks ago, TikTok has now been caught repeatedly copying the contents of your phone clipboard. Time to decide whether the privacy risks are worth it. Our opinion: no. https://t.co/PwbkTypmvn — PolitiTweet.org

As businesses shift online due to COVID-19, they face new privacy risks. @cillian provides simple steps to compliance: • Understand how vendors/partners use customer data • Have a clear privacy policy • Elect a Data Protection Officer (DPO) https://t.co/zO5bvpJduU — PolitiTweet.org

"Be honest—have you ever read a privacy disclosure? Even once?" asks @SenSherrodBrown. "Privacy is a civil right. But corporations force you to sign it away every day." His U.S. bill proposes taking the burden away from consumers & moving it to companies: https://t.co/Q8hcjOpvLB — PolitiTweet.org

Before seeing a doctor in the pandemic, understand there are privacy concerns. "[Relaxed HIPPA regulations in the US] mean health care providers can experiment w/telehealth, & business associates work more closely w/health authorities, w/much less risk." https://t.co/vKmb5VUlX7 — PolitiTweet.org

@aamirjoad786 @VodafoneIN Thanks for the further information. This definitely sounds like it's still being blocked. Perhaps some regional ISPs are slower to unblock than others. @VodafoneIN Could you look into this please? — PolitiTweet.org

@FailedSecCOM Thanks for checking in, this is definitely untrue. We're not owned by or affiliated with Google. Hope that helps to clear things up! — PolitiTweet.org

Experts weigh in on how tech can be used for good: “Historically we have mastered technologies – so I am optimistic we can do this, too... innovation can make significant positive changes... Maybe DuckDuckGo & Firefox can show the way," says @acpowell3. https://t.co/9rxkAEdom1 — PolitiTweet.org

@zanti @VodafoneUK Hi Santi. We haven't changed anything here and I haven't seen any reports from other users in the UK. Sounds like it could be a local network issue. To check, you could try asking family/friends on Vodafone as well as other networks to see if they can connect. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a very happy 13th birthday to our favorite DuckDuckGo super fan, Connor! Not only does he have great taste in cakes, but we hear he's been protecting his family's privacy online by downloading DuckDuckGo on their devices. You rock, Connor! https://t.co/FCxJWGMd5V — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook allows users to opt-out of political ads, but "the absence of [real] transparency in the context of increasingly data-driven elections concerns users & democracy alike. [This solution] does nothing about the targeting itself," says @privacyint. https://t.co/wB42R1BOBJ — PolitiTweet.org

Are you fed up with companies selling your personal data for profit? Are you a resident of California? If you answered yes to these questions then today is a good day. Starting today, CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) starts being enforced. https://t.co/gLBpl4DOkT — PolitiTweet.org

In the meantime it appears switching to a third-party DNS provider fixes the issue, e.g. the more private 1.1.1.1. Here’s how to set it up on Android: https://t.co/CeNuiZiHKw — PolitiTweet.org
