Some examples

Lessons from "The Great Hack"

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 are affected by algorithms demonetizing their content, based on unclear criteria. In the 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 threat of going individual(!) through the GDPR.

By now they got out of their ultimatum to Youtube some formal sitdown encounter.

Uber drivers

Transparency surface

Black hat hackers use the so-called "attack surface" of a system to figure out its weaknesses, for their own profit.
White hats do the same, but for the collective benefit.
