Met de nieuwe 'policy' (beleid) van Twitter worden uw gegevens langer bewaard en kunnen daarbij ten dienste worden gesteld van bedrijven, die geen bliksem met uw visies, uw Twitter geschiedenis te maken hebben!! Kortom uw privacy wordt alweer te grabbel gegooid. Ook stelt Twitter de knop buiten werking, waarmee u kan aangeven, dat u niet gevolgd wil worden op Twitter.....
U begrijpt natuurlijk, dat met de steeds verdere afschaffing van de privacy wetgeving (waar al zo goed als niets van over is), ook politie en geheime diensten volledig toegang zullen krijgen tot uw Twitteraccount (als ze zich daar al niet ophouden....)...........
In het artikel stelt Sarah Cronin, dat deze zaak niet voor EU burgers geldt, daar deze zaak in de EU verboden zou zijn. Echter per 1 juli wordt de nieuwe EU privacywetgeving van kracht en te vrezen valt, dat Twitter vanaf die tijd deze maatregel ook op EU Twitter accounts kan toepassen...... Niet voor niets stuurde Twitter het bericht dat ik afgelopen maandag ontving, naar alle EU Twitter gebruikers........
Ik zou zeggen: "Baat 't niet, dan schaadt 't niet", pas uw voorkeuren aan, dat is zo gebeurd (lees handleiding in het Anti-Media artikel hieronder).
If You Care About Privacy, You Should Change Your Twitter Settings Right Now

(ANTIMEDIA) Since Wednesday, Twitter has been sending out emails and notifications to its over 300 million monthly users to inform them of changes to their privacy policy.
The
new policy, which goes into effect on June 18, includes changes to
data collection, data sharing, and digital advertising. The policy is
being run on an ‘opt-out’ basis, meaning that if users do not
actively change their settings, these policies will automatically be
applied to their accounts.
While
Twitter hailed the new policy in their mass email sent out Sunday as
one that “dovetails with our heartbeat as a company — a
commitment to protecting and defending your privacy,” groups
like the Electronic Frontier Foundation are not so enthusiastic.
“Contrary
to the inviting ‘Sounds good’ button to accept the new policy and
get to tweeting, the changes Twitter has made around user tracking
and data personalization do not sound good for user privacy,”
EFF researcher Gennie Gebhart writes.
EFF,
along with Life
Hacker and CNET,
are encouraging users to customize their privacy settings now before
the new changes are automatically enabled in June.
With
the new policy, Twitter will be keeping logs for users’ web
histories for 30 days instead of 10, a move that Jules Polonetsky,
CEO of the Future of Privacy Forum, says expands
the pool of people it can track and allows Twitter to make more
comprehensive profiles of users.
Interestingly,
this change will not apply to E.U. member countries because Europe’s
restrictive privacy laws prohibit
it.
Twitter
also discontinued
support for
the Do Not Track browser option, which previously allowed users to
protect against targeted advertising.
The
reason for the change, says TopTechNews.com writer
Barbara Ortutay, is therefore clearly not about privacy, but money.
“Targeted
ads that are tailored to your whims and tastes are more lucrative
than generic ones,”
Ortutay writes.
Whether
for privacy or profit, the changes are coming. Fortunately, it’s up
to users to change their settings and decide how much they want to
share.
CNET offers
this simple how-to: “Open Settings and go to Settings
and privacy > Privacy and safety > Personalization and data.
At the top of this page is an option to disable all personalization
and data settings; on the Twitter website, click the Disable
all.”
EFF
notes that users can also review, edit, and/or remove data collected
on them in the past by accessing the “Your Twitter data” option
also located in settings.
