14 tiny behaviours that make people instantly respect you more

Speaking less demonstrates comfort in one’s own skin if coupled with a relaxed demeanour and adds to your sense of mystery.
Quick movements and fidgeting make you appear nervous and thus lower status.
Nothing says ‘I’m confident and I am interested in other people’ than holding someone’s gaze, especially for a little longer than might feel comfortable.
👀
Occasionally say something that needs to be said that no one else is daring to say.
Speak your mind honestly.
Reactive people don’t leave space between a triggering stimulus and their emotional response.
Remain stoic.
How refreshing is it to see someone speaking to someone who is actively attentive?
It is becoming rare.
Instant respect.
You don't always need to be there or respond to that text instantly.
The more scarce anything is the higher its perceived value.
If there was one way to have people fall in love with you, it's to follow your weird.
Allow your quirky, fun side to come out.
Give people the space for you to process what they say properly.
Allow a few extra seconds.
This is rare and will set you apart.
The seemingly superficial can make a huge difference.
Dress well and you will feel better and create an entirely different impression versus looking scruffy.
Talk slower and you will calm down, elevate your perceived status, and garner respect.
Pleasing people does not lead to increased respect.
Instead, be valuable and serve people when it’s appropriate.
Most people are running around giving things to people with expectations tied to their ‘charity.’
Be different.
Grow your tribe by giving value to one person at a time.

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): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
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.
