+=== Lessons from "The Great Hack" ===
−* You can be an inspiration.
+* David Carroll's actions have helped go beyond the usual (lack of) data protection enforcement.
+* Authorities often need complaints and evidence, their investigative and injunctive powers augment then.
+* Anyone can change things by pushing their rights through.
+* Journalists dropped the ball on David Carroll's case.
* Time for action.

+=== Youtubers' Union ===
+
+* Youtubers are affected by algorithms demonetizing their content, based on unclear criteria.
+* In the [https://fairtube.info/en/ FairTube campaign], they are demanding better working conditions, mostly through transparency.
+* They are exercising these demands collectively in an alliance with IG Metall (one of Europe's largest labor unions), with a [https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/evjnew/google-agrees-to-meet-with-youtubers-union-right-before-deadline threat of going individual(!) through the GDPR].
+
+By now they got out of their ultimatum to Youtube some formal sitdown encounter.

+* When they make demands to Uber, they get some data, but there is always consideration for privacy of passengers.

−* concept
+* Black hat hackers use the so-called "attack surface" of a system to figure out its weaknesses, for their own profit.
−* examples (recent complaint)
+* White hats do the same, but for the collective benefit.
−* expansion
+We need the same dynamic for platforms. White hats, journalists, etc need more "attack surface". Actually, they need a "transparency surface", i.e. a way to expose information that serve democracy. But platforms often paint these as attack surfaces themselves.
+For instance:
+* ads transparency projects for Pro Publica or WhoTargetsMe.
