Personaler prüfen Bewerbungen heimlich mit KI: Das ist der Grund | t3n

Personaler:innen werden von einer unüberwindbaren Menge von KI-generierten Bewerbungen überrumpelt. Im Alltag greifen sie dabei oftmals selbst auf KI-Tools zur Bewertung zurück. Auch dann, wenn diese eigentlich nicht erlaubt sind.

⚖️ Back in 2020, noyb (in cooperation with the Norwegian Consumer Council) filed a complaint against the online advertising company #Xandr (now part of #Microsoft) for processing personal data from the dating app #Grindr.

🇳🇴 Now, the Norwegian DPA (Data Protection Authority) Datatilsynet has issued its decision – and fined Xandr € 8.5 million (NOK 92 000 000) for its #GDPR violations. 💸 This is a major blow to the online adtech industry!

Privacy win: Norwegian Authority fines Microsoft’s Xandr € 8.5 Million.

In 2020, the NCC and noyb filed three GDPR complaints against the dating app Grindr and several adtech companies that received personal data through the app. One of these complaints concerned Xandr, an online advertising company that now belongs to Microsoft.
Now, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority has decided that Microsoft’s Xandr violated the GDPR. It processed personal data, including sensitive information on sexual orientation, without a valid legal basis. Xandr was ordered to pay a fine of roughly € 8.5 million Euros.

The decision is a major blow for the online advertising and commercial surveillance industry.
The current fine shows that companies such as Xandr are eventually held accountable for their shady practices. Profiling people’s interests, habits, location and behavior requires valid consent – which adtech companies hardly ever obtain.

🇪🇺 The #EU is currently changing its core privacy law, the #GDPR. Members of the European Parliament have made more than 1000 amendments - we have analyzed them all. 🔍 Want to know who is playing into the hands of #BigTech by undermining protections, and who is actually trying to defend your #privacy?

👉 Visit gdpr-omnibus.eu and look up your MEP by country and political group.

If the European Commission and the EU Member States get their way, the 
“Digital Omnibus” will result in a fundamental change to EU privacy laws.

What about the European Parliament? 

To find out more, noyb has analysed more than 1,000 amendments that Members of Parliament (MEPs) have tabled. This analysis shows that many MEPs are in favour of stripping people of their privacy rights – while others still push back.
The European People’s Party (EPP) is clearly fighting the hardest against users' rights, having made many amendments that favour big tech.

This includes the limitation of the scope of privacy protections and the proposal of far-reaching exceptions for high-risk AI.

“The European Conservatives and Reformists” (ECR) also performed poorly overall. “The Patriots” achieved a better score, but it was still negative.
The “Sovereigns” and “Renew” both have an even score of zero.

At the same time, however, Renew dominates the ranking of most “pushback” against the Commission’s flawed proposals with 5 of the top 10 MEPs in that category.
Only “S&D”, “The Left” and “The Greens” have a clear positive overall score.

In the meantime, the “EPP” also holds 10 of the top 10 ranks for the most violations of the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights.

@noybeu@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Ireland? Big Tech’s bitch? Aral, how rude!

Oh?

“Before the meeting closes, Prime Minister Kelly has a favour to ask. Europe is steaming about privacy and Facebook, and they’re about to adopt a law – the General Data Protection Regulation – to crack down on how Big Tech uses personal data. Exactly who will enforce the law is still being negotiated. Kenny wants it to be Ireland. We do too. But we’ve got a problem because no one believes Ireland will be tough enough on the tech companies. With good reason. Kenny needs to make it seem like his regulator – the Irish Data Protection Commission – is on the case right now, doing proper oversight, a watchdog Europe can trust with this responsibility. “Ireland’s been criticized,” he says, which is true, and asks if we can assist in “building up the credibility” of his regulator by talking publicly about its audits of Facebook privacy, and the changes we’ve made because of it. In other words, we should tell the world that the lapdog has been a pit bull. Of course, Sheryl agrees to this.”

1/3 🚨 EU governments could be just days away from agreeing to a deal on the #DigitalOmnibus on Data that would weaken some of the basic protections people rely on under the #GDPR such as knowing who is using their data and why, being able to ask what data a company holds about them, and objecting to certain uses or expecting it to be kept secure.

Two things are especially worrying… 🧵
