Be Careful : Internet Was Made to Feel Free, Was Never really Free

The Internet was never really free, but it was made to feel free, according to a new Bloomberg report. Silent auctions for your data take place in the background every time you visit a website. Personal information about you is being exchanged. This way, ads that show your interest are displayed on the website.
Informations about you is exchanged in a fraction of a second
Information about your location, birthday, browsing so far and so much more is passed on to hundreds of merchants who are waiting to see the ad in a millisecond. The event is widely held even in Europe, which has some of the strictest privacy laws in the world. This is because Internet users click on a 'consent' or consent form when accessing almost every website. It is now available on most websites. It was brought in by an association of Brussels-based advertising companies to help advertisers circumvent European privacy laws. Belgium's data protection authorities have now declared the program illegal. 27 other agencies from the European Union have joined in supporting them. Authorities also demanded that the data stored in the permit be destroyed immediately.
Will the transfer of personal details end?
This is exciting news for those who strongly advocate for personal privacy. What makes them excited is that they may end up cheating on you without your knowledge. Transfer of personal information between private companies may end. At least we can make sure that not too much data is transferred. But it can also be a huge setback for those who show and serve ads. Apple says the privacy move, which began last year, has backfired on many, including Facebook. There are rumors that Google is preparing to make a similar move.
Consent Button Pure Cheat
Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. It provides a form of legal protection against surveillance advertising. According to the Interactive Advertising Bureau, Europe's advertising market is growing at $ 73 billion a year. (The consent button we see today is in their minds.) As mentioned earlier, all this money is being transferred through a live auction taking place in the dark without our knowledge.
How is the auction conducted?
You visit a website to watch a cricket match. A consent window will pop up in front of you as the site opens. Here you can close your eyes and give consent. However, if you click on the Manage Your Settings section, you will see below the names of companies that you have not heard of. Let's go through all this and turn off the button. However, it may take some time and it is confusing that there is no clarity as to why this is being done. This is the reason why the Belgian authorities say no to this work anymore. They argue that an individual's privacy should go beyond the legal protection that consent companies give to consent to take someone's data. Authorities have opposed the use of personal data in online auctions.
Consent button to snag GDPR
Authorities have long argued that this consent button was created to bypass Europe's GDPR. But this is the first time an official verdict has been issued against it. Now the case may be against the advertising companies that continue this program. Following the ruling, a number of organizations, including the world's leading advertisers, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, have called for the destruction of personal data collected using the Consent tool. Both companies declined to comment. Johnny Ryan, head of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, one of the organizations working against it, says data about individuals has fallen into the hands of a number of companies. But the organization that introduced the Consent Tool has also arrived, saying the new law is wrong.
Ubiquitous ambiguity
At the same time, do companies like Google and Procter & Gamble, which collect all personal data, need to delete it? Garrett Johnson, a professor at Boston University who studied the subject, says they have no choice. At the same time, the question arises as to what will happen to the advertising business that has kept the Internet free. But, for the first time in history, the ad display, which infiltrates the user's privacy, may fall short. Apple's privacy policy caused Facebook to lose $ 1 billion last year. At the same time, it says that only big companies like Google will be able to comply with the complex new rules that are coming. However, the general opinion is that the verdict in favor of the constantly monitored Internet users is welcome. This may mark the beginning of a healthier Internet. It remains to be seen whether the new changes will apply only to Europe, or whether it will bring dramatic changes to Internet usage around the world.
While the social and economic benefits of the internet cannot be denied, some of these developments can severely affect such European values as equality, respect for human rights and democracy.
Technology companies are under increasing pressure to mitigate these harmful effects, and politicians and opinion leaders are advocating drastic measures.
The recently published STOA study on ‘Harmful internet use’ covers the damage associated with internet use on individuals’ health, wellbeing and functioning, and the impact on social structures and institutions.
While the study does not attempt to cover all possible societal harm relating to the internet, Part I focuses on one specific cause of harm, internet addiction, and Part II covers a range of harmful effects on individuals and society that are associated with internet use. The report concludes with policy options for their prevention and mitigation.
Other studies have already extensively discussed some harmful effects, and these are already subject to a history of policy actions.
These include harm to privacy, harm related to cybersecurity and cybercrime, and damage resulting from digital divides. In contrast, this study covers the less-studied but equally important harmful effects that concern individuals’ health, wellbeing and functioning, the quality of social structures and institutions, and equality and social inclusion.
Happy day dears! Thank you!
