In case you want to help me raise awareness about institutional corruption on birdsite (repost, updated link):

A big thank you to Google and Facebook for protecting our data & democracy & sponsoring @CPDPconferences (Data Protection & Democracy) alongside other similar organisations like @apple, @bitsoffreedom, @EPICprivacy, @mozilla, @privacy_salon & @accessnow.
@aral I suspect the lack of tone of voice would cause the sarcasm be lost on anyone who doesn't notice the source. :)
@ricardojmendez Good. Let’s see how those organisations feel about how they are lending legitimacy to surveillance capitalists (some know of course, some do it on purpose… would be interesting to see which, if any, object and which, if any, take it up with the conference or drop their “moral” sponsorship).
@aral Not sure I explained myself. I'm not sure that if I merely re-tweet your bits, people will get the sarcasm intended. At least not without knowing both you and the conference.
@ricardojmendez Right and that’s the problem. But I just saw on your bio that you do privacy at Samsung so that’s really no different. Samsung is also a surveillance capitalist. I see that your team is throwing money at legitimate projects right now to associate yourselves but I also saw the sewer of surveillance that my S9+ was with its stock OS.
I don’t know you so I don’t know whether you really care about privacy or if this is just a job but Samsung is no different to Google, etc.
