I believe on difference, between myself and those who are able to hang out with those who remain Trumpists, is an ability to weigh character only by who others are when they are with you, not who they are when you aren't there to watch.

I can't do that.

I think people are their truest selves when they feel least inhibited. A man who cheats on his wife only on business trips isn't a loyal husband because he doesn't invite a mistress into his bed when his wife is sharing the bed with him.
And once we know who they truly are, even if they pretend to be otherwise with us, they feel acceptance both for their hidden self (it can't be that bad if all I have to do is not remind them of it) and the act they play when you're around.
Maybe that really is the fundamental mental wiring difference that makes it hard for us to relate to one another. The ability to see and appreciate only what is put in front of us, even if we know it's different the moment we turn our eyes elsewhere.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
