Changes

: ''“As designers we aim for ease-of-use and don't think about opt-in/out.”'' - Caroline Sinders, Mozilla Community Member 

: ''“People really don't know how to solve this—it's like the tsunami has already started, and we can't roll back the wave.”'' - Denise Hearn, Author, The Myth of Capitalism

 : ''“Right now, the choice is binary; opt in or opt out. We need more tools, practices, products, to empower people to take more action.”'' - Katharina Borchert, Chief Innovation Officer, Mozilla 

: ''“Don't ask me if I want a cookie when I'm reaching for the cookie jar.”'' - Cory Doctorow, Sci-Fi Author, Special Advisor, EFF 

: ''“It's interesting how quickly people are willing to surrender power for convenience… Most algorithms are there to divide us, because an atomized person is a better customer.”'' - Douglas Rushkoff, Media Theorist and Author

: ''“There has been a violation of fiduciary structure. Lawyers and doctors have it —when you have privileged information, there is an asymmetry of power, and the law says these people can’t manipulate people based on it to buy services from you they don’t need, for example. Companies shouldn’t be able to collect data, which is the privileged information of the modern era, without a fiduciary responsibility for its use.”'' - Daniel Schmachtenberger, Civilization Theorist, Center for Humane Technology

 : ''“Google doesn't need to spy on you—you're intentionally giving them your data.”'' - Ekr Rescorla, CTO Firefox 

: ''“The way we design user interfaces can have a profound impact on the privacy of a user’s data. It should be easy for users to make choices that protect their data privacy. But all too often, big tech companies instead design their products to manipulate users into surrendering their data privacy. These methods are often called ‘Dark Patterns.’”'' - Alexis Hancock, Staff Technologist, EFF
