A clear example of pushing responsibility onto users rather than the powerful platforms. We have a piece out shortly on a duty of care obligation for socmed co’s and why it should be written in to law!
New from me on why platform gestures at transparency in this country are largely bogus. With appreciation to @GreenJ for sinkhole language

Companies holding personal data on you are legally obliged to respond to your requests for that data within 30 days, so what happened when a bunch of @choiceaustralia staff requested their data from some of Australia's biggest data brokers? choice.com.au/consumers-and-…

Scam texts feeling eerily timely? Social media ads creepily precise? Enjoy part 1 of the 'trailer' for our soon-to-be released report 'AUSTRALIANS FOR SALE', which goes into the dark details of the 'Xandr File' and the over 8300 'segments' traded about Australians @WolfieChristl
