#SamsungUnpacked
1/9
THREAD ABOUT SAMSUNG and my Disappointment:

Samsung, when are you gonna make a device again which makes the fans not being disappointed in you?

In the past couple of years, when i watch Unpacked, my reaction is not "Awesome" or "Cool" or "i like that"

2/9
mostly it's "Oh no, another disappointment"

Why?
A few reasons here:
Removing Headphone jack, Removing Iris Sensor, Removing SD Slot, Removing Charger, Removing Headphones, Removing Heart rate Sensor, Removing IR Blaster, yet still Increasing prices and so on and so on.
3/9
I use your products for over a decade and i never was so disappointed in you like in the past (2 to 3 years)
You were a company that listened to the consumers.

If we weren't happy with or about something, you changed it with the next S or Note Device.
4/9
But now, all that counts is just the Money and that's actually pretty sad.

You mock Apple and other companies, just to follow them a few weeks or months later.

I appreciate your commitment to new technology and innovation but i CAN NOT support you with your decisions you
5/9
made in the past 2 to 3 years.

It makes me sad to see which path you're taking and that you don't care that you leave your roots.

But hey, who am i, right? I don't have millions of followers. So no reason to listen to me?!
6/9
I'm just a consumer who supported you throughout all the years. I defended you, i fought for you, i invested dozens of hours in explaining to people why they should buy Samsung and not an other brand...
7/9
and all of that, for what? For you to let us loyal fans down lying to us and disappoint us year after year.

Why "lying"? Example: Charger - you say, it's for the environment but that's a lie. If this would be the reason, you would not charge anything for the charger.
8/9 just like Xiaomi does with the Mi 11.

I don't expect much from this thread but i still hope that some YouTubers or bloggers will see this and maybe talk about it or interact otherwise. If not, it's ok too
9/9
I don't want fame or anything, i just want that @SamsungMobile wakes up and understands what they are doing and whos they are disappointing and lying to.

And yes, i know. Samsung is a company and they want to make money, don't try to teach me.

I could create an entire twitter feed of things Facebook has tried to cover up since 2015. Where do you want to start, Mark and Sheryl? https://t.co/1trgupQEH9


Ok, here. Just one of the 236 mentions of Facebook in the under read but incredibly important interim report from Parliament. ht @CommonsCMS

Let’s do another, this one to Senate Intel. Question: “Were you or CEO Mark Zuckerberg aware of the hiring of Joseph Chancellor?"
Answer "Facebook has over 30,000 employees. Senior management does not participate in day-today hiring decisions."


Or to @CommonsCMS: Question: "When did Mark Zuckerberg know about Cambridge Analytica?"
Answer: "He did not become aware of allegations CA may not have deleted data about FB users obtained through Dr. Kogan's app until March of 2018, when
these issues were raised in the media."


If you prefer visuals, watch this short clip after @IanCLucas rightly expresses concern about a Facebook exec failing to disclose info.

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.
