Must-reads from around the web
NOYB has filed a GDPR complaint against X (Twitter) for allegedly using user's political views and religious beliefs for targeted advertising. The complaint claims that X violated both the GDPR and the Digital Services Act (DSA) by allowing the EU Commission to use sensitive data for a campaign promoting the proposed "chat control" in the Netherlands.
The complaint has been lodged with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, and NOYB suggests the imposition of a fine due to the seriousness of the violations and the number of affected users on X.
Apple has introduced enhanced security measures in the iOS 17.3 developer beta to prevent thieves attempting to access user passcodes and sensitive information. The new protection mandates the use of Face ID or Touch ID for actions such as viewing passwords or utilizing saved payment methods in Safari.
Users can opt into the Stolen Device Protection setting for added security. This development aims to prevent unauthorized access even if thieves know the passcode, making it challenging for them to change passwords or access payment information.
