Rate My Plate

/in /by

With over 2.1M fans on Facebook the ‘Rate My Plate’ Facebook Page is no small time gig. The comical Facebook page has been set up arguably over the huge popularity that people’s dinner plates get on Instagram and Facebook.

Now, you would be forgiven for thinking that most of the posts on this page are going to be good right? Who would put a bad plate of food on there just to be rated badly?

Well, you’d be wrong. The posts are either pictures of people’s regular every day dinner plates or just some terrible looking dinners. As a result, there’s some pretty ghastly plates on this page, so keep a sick bucket nearby! (We’re being harsh. There are some good looking dinner plates on there, but they’re few and far between!)

Check out some of the plates below:

Netflix Keeps Your Bandersnatch Choices

/in /by
Those Bandersnatch choices you made back in December. Well those choices were kept.
Michael Veale who is a technology policy researcher over at the University College London, did a little bit of digging and found out just what Netflix keep on you. Using the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – remember all those emails you got last year. That.  To figure out that they track your choices.
According to Motherboard, Veale requested the Bandersnatch data from Netflix, to ask why: “it’s collecting data, the categories they’re sorting data into, third parties it’s sharing the data with, and other information.” Then subsequently posting it on Twitter.
Netflix told Veale that the data it collected helped them to “improve this model of storytelling in the context of a show or movie” While this seems pretty reasonable, Veale still concluded that it’s an invasion of privacy. It’s important to note that Netflix didn’t tell him how long they’d keep a hold of the data either.
We encourage you to check out Veale’s short Twitter thread by clicking here! It’s a great read! Very eye opening!

Consent

Veale told Motherboard:
“If you asked me, they should really be using consent (which you should be able to refuse) or legitimate interests (meaning you can object to it) …..It was tricky, as I had to ask these questions specifically.
It’s unclear if this is included by default in requests to get your data from Netflix or not. I can tell you often this kind of specific data is not included when you ask for ‘all your data.
Knowing what ‘all your data’ is, and what the company’s definition of ‘all your data’ does not include, is most of the challenge.”
Very interesting indeed. While it seems that it’s pretty harmless data collection. We should at least be told if we want out data collected.
