"Following a noyb complaint and litigation over inactivity, the Swedish Data Protection Authoirty (IMY) has issued a fine of 58 Mln Swedish Crown (about € 5 Million) against Spotify. While users have a right to get access to all their data and information on the use of their data, Spotify did not fully comply with this obligation. The IMY was in charge of the case because Spotify has its main establishment in Sweden. The noyb complaint was joined with a complaint filed in the Netherlands by Bits of Freedom."

Hey yall!

Just wanted to drop some features in the works that we're really excited about:

- Group destinations / points of interest
- Arrival/departure notifications (geofencing)
- Custom profile photos
- More map layers
- Offline maps

And so much more. Grid has become so much more than the initial side quest it started out as and we're so pumped to help contribute to the privacy movement in our small way 🤘

I hope #DataProtection regulators around the world are carefully reading this, about PTSD following abuse, and how #LinkedIn and #Twitter made it worse by demanding #government #ID from a survivor to address the problem.

A large majority of people confuse privacy with data protection. And lately I'm noticing an uproar of ideologies that claim to be pro-freedom in one way or another, but which threaten freedom as a whole. I think there is a certain copyright mentality to them. Certain misunderstanding of ownership which makes fighting for freed...

In 2024, 98% of Meta’s $165bn of revenue came from advertising with nearly $70bn profit.

Profit has come at the expense of our privacy and the right to opt-out threatens Meta's intrusive advertising model.

So Meta is expected to expand 'consent or pay' to keep lining their pockets. You either pay for its services or let #Meta use your data for advertising.

Through a historical perspective,
I believe we are about at the same level of protection for data than medieval peasants had for their food.
