On June 27, 2018, the Norwegian Consumer Councils (Forbrukerrådet) published an analysis of the users’ privacy settings of three of the largest digital services providers (Facebook, Google and Windows). The document questions whether the popups used by the three companies have design, symbols and wording that is in accordance with the principles of data protection by default and data protection by design, and if users’ consent given under these circumstances can be said to be explicit, informed and freely given.
The analysis, DECEIVED BY DESIGN is available at https://fil.forbrukerradet.no…
