Five consumer privacy groups have asked the European Data Protection Board to investigate how Facebook, Google, and Microsoft design their software to see whether it complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Essentially, the tech giants are accused of crafting their user interfaces so that netizens are fooled into clicking away their privacy, and handing over their personal information.
In a letter sent today to chairwoman Andrea Jelinek, the BEUC (Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs), the Norwegian Consumer Council (Forbrukerrådet), Consumers International, Privacy International and ANEC (just too damn long to spell out) contend that the three tech giants “employed numerous tricks and tactics to nudge or push consumers toward giving consent to sharing as much data for as many purposes as possible.” https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/06/27/facebook_google_microsoft_scolded/
