Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Behavioural targeting, or online profiling, is at the core of many privacy problems on the Internet. Behavioural targeting involves monitoring people’s online behaviour and using the data obtained to expose people to individually targeted advertisements. In the process, firms gather information, store it, analyse it, and disclose it to other firms. Firms compile detailed profiles, based on what Internet users read, what videos they watch, what they search for, etc. People have litlle control over what happens to information concerning them. There is wide agreement that EU data protection law - and similar regimes in countries worldwide - offers insufficient protection of privacy on the Internet. This publication examines how the law could improve online privacy protection, and is among the first legal studies to discuss the implications of behavioural sciences for privacy law. A detailed analysis is presented of the problematic role of informed consent in data protection law, emphasising the tension in the law between protecting and empowering the individual. [...] Given the limited potential of informed consent as a privacy protection measure, the publication argues that policymakers can improve legal privacy protection by focusing less on empowering people and more on protecting people. Practitioners, businesspersons, policymakers, and regulators will find much here to help them develop a more cogent, socially responsible, and reasonable approach to privacy law and policy - not only in Europe but anywhere in the world."

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
