I’ve been doing well on Facebook recently. I managed to get an auto warning about vaccine information.
Now I posted a short candid camera type video and it gets marked as potentially disturbing. If it had been subject to film rating it would probably have registered as “yawn”.
Not that it bothers me much, but the one thing that interests me is whether this information is being tracked. And what can you do about it if Facebook decides to record the information about you?
Despite all of the regulations we can be sure personal information about us is tracked all over the place – while the rules add more and more burden to the companies that don’t have any interest in tracking you.
GDPR is great – it protects our personal info – except it fails miserably (and don’t get me started on the GDPR tax which the ICO says they expect most companies will need to pay).
This is the problem with a lot of legislation – it places burdens on people that would do the right thing and misses the dodgy bunch. A good example is the hotel quarantine – which hits people that will quarantine at home but misses people that will fake information.
The more laws like this are passed the more likely you will find yourself an accidental lawbreaker.
