The clip has almost 30,000 views. Dawn disabled the ability for viewers to like or dislike the video and turned off comments. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Arast-9MH0" frameborder="0"></iframe>In the video, Dawn said she and her husband, Jordan Nelson, who is not an influencer but features on Dawn's <keyword id="11892996" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="instagram" source="Orion">Instagram</keyword> and YouTube pages, found her dog Brodie lying on their street after they returned from doing errands. She said that as soon as she noticed he wasn't moving on the ground, she jumped out of Nelson's car and ran toward the dog.Dawn said that although she worked as a veterinarian technician for five years, she could not bear to see her pet in that state. She said the dog was still breathing even though he got "hit so hard" by a vehicle. "I wish I could unsee what I had to see… nothing prepares you for having to see your dog like that," she said in the video, where she appears distraught and crying. "I just collapsed."She said her husband brought her into their home, where she stayed while he shot the injured dog."I knew what was about to happen… all I heard was his truck rev its engine so loud," she said. "That's when the gunshot went off and poor Jordan had to do that for Brodie so that he wouldn't suffer. There was no saving him, it was so bad."Dawn has also shared two posts about Brodie on her Instagram page, @realbrittanydawn, where she posts snapshots of her religious lifestyle and has over 432,000 followers. "My whole world flipped upside down tonight," <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8y55iMGIq/">she wrote on Wednesday in the first post</a>, which has over 26,000 likes. "This is the hardest post I've ever had to make and I'm doing it crying in Jordan's arms." Although the comments on her Instagram posts appear to be mostly positive, Dawn has received criticism for not taking the dog to the vet.<a href="https://twitter.com/kdubz0rs/status/1448477051216809986">One user tweeted</a> that they cannot "even fathom" how Dawn let Nelson shoot the dog "instead of taking it to the vet."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">-Makoto Kino (@kdubz0rs) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1448477051216809986?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 14, 2021</a></blockquote><a href="https://twitter.com/inkedjulians/status/1449450789374730250">Another Twitter user</a> wrote that they couldn't believe that Dawn made a video the same day that her dog died and monetized it. Dawn has faced significant backlash in the past for other incidents. In 2019, some followers criticized her for allegedly promoting fitness and eating regimens with hashtags like "#SkipDinner," <a href="https://heavy.com/news/2019/02/brittany-dawn-fitness/">reported Heavy</a>. She does not appear to have addressed this criticism. She was also accused of selling generic fitness coaching sessions and nutrition guides while trying to pass them off as bespoke, <a href="https://www.insider.com/brittany-dawn-fitness-influencer-scam-partial-refunds-2019-3">Insider reported</a>. She apologized to people who felt they had been miseld in a now-deleted YouTube video, <a href="https://www.insider.com/brittany-dawn-influencer-called-scammer-fitness-coaching-2019-2">according to Insider</a>, saying that she was overwhelmed by her quick success because she had no business background.Dawn did not respond to a request for comment.<a href="https://www.insider.com/culture">Read more stories from Insider's Digital Culture desk. </a>

A YouTuber and fitness influencer said her husband shot her dog instead of taking him to the vet after a vehicle hit him

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Former fitness influencer Brittany Dawn is set to stand trial in Texas over claims she scammed customers.</li><li>Dawn ran a personalized fitness coaching program, but customers claimed it was generic and unhelpful.</li></ul>Fitness-turned-religious content creator <a href="https://www.insider.com/brittany-dawn-influencer-called-scammer-fitness-coaching-2019-2">Brittany Dawn</a> is set to face trial in Dallas, Texas, over allegations that she misled customers with a once-famed virtual personal training program.The trial start date of March 6 was delayed indefinitely due to scheduling issues, <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kelseyweekman/brittany-dawn-trial-delay" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Buzzfeed News.</a> In February 2022, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Dawn, alleging that she failed to provide the personalized services she promised, and profited from the scam.Dawn's attorney did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.Starting in 2014, Dawn, born Brittany Dawn Davis, sold her personalized fitness program through bdawnfit.com, which promised three months of one-on-one coaching sessions, nutritional counseling, and weekly check-ins for between $92 and $300, according to the complaint. "She was described as 'your coach, your confidant, your biggest supporter &amp; friend,' there to 'push you, mold you, and to help you find that person that you've always wanted to become,'" Paxton wrote in the lawsuit. But in reality, according to the complaint, the services were not personalized nor were they effective. Dawn also charged users shipping fees though all the services were online, the Texas AG added in the complaint.Members were asked to submit their height, weight, and other health information for Dawn to craft 30- or 90-day nutrition and fitness plans, but many reported never receiving structured plans, instead receiving generic check-in messages when consulting was promised."Other consumers complained that any responses they did receive, if even initially to a detailed check-in or specific question, were generic and non-substantive, e.g., 'THAT'S MY GIRL! You're killing it!' or 'you've got this babe!'" Paxton wrote in the complaint.Other customers claimed that Dawn reinforced eating disorders that they were dealing with, and that Dawn's generic plans were geared towards lowering calorie intake. In the complaint, the Texas AG alleged that Dawn denied enrolling clients with eating disorders."One consumer on her initial survey states 'I truly need guidance, help, the right information and support right now. I currently have an eating disorder, horrible body image views…I am underweight for my height,'" Paxton wrote in the complaint. "Ms. Davis' response was 'Great! Welcome to the #teambrittanydawn family."The Texas AG is seeking between $250,000 and $1 million in penalties from Dawn. On Tuesday, a combative Dawn — who has made a <a href="https://www.insider.com/christian-influencer-brittany-dawn-criticism-foster-parent-journey-2022-12">hard pivot to Christian content</a> since a 2019 apology for the fitness venture — took to social media to say that she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpteQYIsQQf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was ready to "fight back"</a> against the allegations.But even after the fitness scandal, Dawn has remained a lightning rod for controversy within the creator economy. In December, the influencer <a href="https://www.insider.com/christian-influencer-brittany-dawn-criticism-foster-parent-journey-2022-12">defended her foster parent journey</a> after critics surmised her foster agency hadn't conducted due diligence given Dawn and her husband's controversial pasts. "My background check came back perfect, thaaank you," she retorted on Instagram at the time. Dawn's husband, Jordan Nelson – a former Kansas City police officer – was <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/police-brutality-against-black-kansas-city-man" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued by the ACLU</a> for using excessive force against a Black man in 2013. He was also at the center of a <a href="https://www.insider.com/brittany-dawn-dog-husband-video-youtube-backlash-fitness-husband-shot-2021-10">separate scandal in 2021</a>, when Dawn announced he'd shot their dog after it had been hit by a car rather than taking it to the vet.

Brittany Dawn trial: Fitness-turned-Christian influencer will stand trial in Texas over claims she ripped people off with online personalized fitness program

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Controversy-ridden Christian influencer Brittany Dawn has been open about her fertility struggles.</li><li>A foster child was placed with the influencer on Monday, she announced on Instagram.</li></ul>Christian influencer Brittany Dawn Nelson is under scrutiny after announcing that she's fostering a child and has monetized some aspects of her foster child's care.Nelson is no stranger to controversy. Earlier this year, the state of Texas <a href="https://www.insider.com/texas-sues-influencer-brittany-davis-over-eating-disorder-advice-2022-2" rel="">sued her</a> fitness consultancy, accusing her of falsely claiming to have specialist knowledge to help people with eating disorders. The lawsuit also said customers complained that her fitness company promised customers personalized diet and fitness plans but never delivered. Now, Nelson is defending herself against critics questioning her decision to become a foster parent. The Texas-based influencer has been open about her fertility struggles, sharing that she had a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kW0qoO3Zvg" rel=" nofollow">chemical miscarriage</a> in April. In July, she announced her desire to start <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgLNBCRM0ZF/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=" rel=" nofollow">fostering</a>, and in October, Nelson suffered <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QPDHdUZiOmY" rel=" nofollow">another miscarriage</a>.On Monday, she announced <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFxnHfMOmA/?hl=en" rel=" nofollow">to her 469,000 Instagram followers</a> that she and her husband were fostering a child, which riled some.Nelson responded to criticism that her foster agency didn't conduct due diligence given her and her husband's controversial past. (Her husband, a former Kansas City, Missouri, police officer, was sued by the <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/police-brutality-against-black-kansas-city-man">ACLU</a> for using excessive force against a Black man in 2013.)"My background check came back perfect, thaaank you," Nelson said in an Instagram comment. "I'd be cautious believing everything you see about someone on the internet, a gossip forum, and especially manipulative news stories." Commenters on a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/brittanydawnsnark/">Reddit forum</a> dedicated to criticizing Nelson have also questioned the ethics surrounding some of Nelson's posts about the child. The forum r/BrittanyDawnSnark currently has 26,500 members.Other members of the forum have criticized Nelson for sharing what appears to be an affiliate link to her <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/brittanydawnsnark/comments/zlao39/financially_benefitting_from_your_foster_baby/">new baby monitor </a>in a recent Instagram Story, and for revealing personal details about the infant, including that it is <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/brittanydawnsnark/comments/zlsg85/claiming_the_foster_child_is_having_substance/">suffering from substance withdrawals</a>.Before the child had arrived, Nelson was excitedly posting photos of her new stroller and car seat, as well as snaps from her foster care baby shower. On Monday, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFxnHfMOmA/?hl=en">she shared a family photo</a> with the child's face blurred out. (While rules vary by state and foster agency, <a href="https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubPDFs/smtips_parent.pdf">the US Children's Bureau decrees</a> that foster parents "do not identify a child or youth as a foster child or post their full name or address on a social media network.")It wouldn't be the first time a momfluencer has faced criticism over their parenting decisions. In 2020, the vlogger Myka Stauffer <a href="https://www.insider.com/myka-stauffer-apologizes-for-rehoming-adopted-son-2020-6">apologized for re-homing her adopted son</a> Huxley whom she frequently posted about on her social media channels, including sponsored posts. Insider has reached out to Nelson for comment.

Dawn did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. The suit also accused Dawn of misrepresenting her training to give health and fitness advice to customers with eating disorders. In one instance, Dawn shared a YouTube video in which she spoke about how she overcame an eating disorder, the lawsuit said. In social-media posts sharing that video, Dawn linked to her fitness and nutrition plans — which customers took to mean she could tailor her services to those illnesses, the suit alleged. The suit said Dawn denied having offered services to people with eating disorders, but that 14 people complained to her and mentioned the illness in their complaints."The main reason I chose her out of all the coaches out there was specifically that she advertised herself as an 'eating disorder soldier,'" a customer is quoted as saying. Dawn gave inappropriate advice to at least one customer, the suit alleged. "I currently have an eating disorder, horrible body image views," one customer is cited as telling Dawn. They added, "I am underweight for my height." The influencer went on to advise cardio exercise and a low-calorie eating plan, which could only cause further weight loss, the suit alleged.Paxton wants the court to force Dawn to fulfill all the personalized services she advertises, as well as bar her from saying she can give specialist advice to people with eating disorders.The suit seeks up to $10,000 in damages for each violation of Texan civil law.Allegations against Dawn first bubbled up in February 2019 when fans called her a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brittany-dawn-influencer-called-scammer-fitness-coaching-2019-2">"scammer,"</a> alleging that she failed to fulfill promised fitness services.Soon after, she apologized to her fans and offered customers refunds on the grounds that they sign a nondisclosure agreement, as Insider's Jacob Shamsian <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brittany-davis-refunds-instagram-fitness-influencer-2019-2">reported</a>. She later <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brittany-dawn-fitness-instagram-influencer-scammer-accusations-fans-2019-2">dropped</a> this requirement after an outcry. By March that year, the Texas attorney general's office said it had received 22 complaints, and that it was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brittany-dawn-influencer-instagram-texas-attorney-2019-3?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=referral">looking into</a> Dawn's business. At the time, the influencer <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brittany-dawn-influencer-instagram-texas-attorney-2019-3?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=referral">told Insider</a> that she had addressed all of the attorney general's complaints.

There are common misconceptions about what this diet entails, who it's for, and the benefits that could impact your decision. "A [strict] gluten-free diet requires avoiding all naturally gluten-containing foods and foods that might be compromised <a href="https://www.insider.com/foods-might-not-know-contain-gluten-2018-2">through cross-contamination</a>," says <a href="https://www.westsidenutrition.com/">Melanie Sherman</a>, a Registered Dietician of Westside Nutrition and Wellness. <h2>What to eat and avoid on a gluten-free diet</h2>"Gluten is a protein found in some grains including wheat, barley, rye, spelt, and kamut and in extracts of these grains including some malt and yeast," Sherman says.Common foods that contain gluten include: <ul><li>Bread</li><li>Pasta </li><li>Dough </li><li>Many baked goods</li><li>Visit the Celiac Disease Foundation's site on <a href="https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/what-is-gluten/sources-of-gluten/">sources of gluten</a> for a detailed list of more foods to avoid while on a gluten-free diet.</li></ul>But that doesn't mean all carby foods are off-limits. Some <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-are-carbs">starchy foods</a> that you can still enjoy on a gluten-free diet include:<ul><li>Corn</li><li>Quinoa</li><li>Rice</li><li>Buckwheat</li><li>For more information, check out our article on "<a href="https://www.insider.com/ways-to-tell-if-food-is-gluten-free-2018-2">5 tips that will help you figure out if a food is gluten-free.</a>"</li></ul>Thanks to the gluten-free diet's popularity, there are many products on the market that now advertise as "gluten-free." <a href="https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling">According to the FDA</a>, a product can only be labeled as such if it meets the three following criteria:<ul><li>It contains no more than 20 parts per million of gluten, which is the smallest amount that instruments can reliably detect.</li><li>It does not contain any single type or combination of barley, rye, and wheat.</li><li>It does not contain an ingredient derived from barley, rye, or wheat.</li></ul>However, a product doesn't have to always dawn the FDA approved "gluten-free" label. All plain cuts of fresh meat and produce are naturally gluten-free. It's when you get into more processed meats — like bacon, hot dogs, and sausage — and processed produce — like frozen, canned, or dried — that you should check the ingredients label before eating. Here are <a href="https://www.insider.com/foods-might-not-know-contain-gluten-2018-2">8 foods that you probably had no idea had gluten in them</a>.<h2>A gluten-free diet helps treat celiac disease </h2>The gluten-free diet was first introduced by Williem-Karel Dicke, a Dutch pediatrician, in the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1374403/">early 1940s</a>. Although the diet has since become a fad for <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5439366/">weight loss</a>, it's original intention is to treat people who have celiac disease, an autoimmune condition that affects 3 million people in the US, <a href="https://www.fda.gov/food/food-labeling-nutrition/gluten-free-labeling-foods">according to the FDA</a>.Brittany Modell, RD, and founder of <a href="https://electrify-pr-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1Bpg8f3nbn1-3gTaSfAUb5DLVtDmamf2bcofBNoH7bBs-561924995&amp;key=YAMMID-96808389&amp;link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brittanymodellrd.com%2Fd.com%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brittany Modell Nutrition and Wellness</a> says there are three foods people with celiacs disease should avoid: wheat, which contains gluten, barley, which contains secalin, and rye, which contains hordein. "These three grains contain a certain peptide that can trigger a gluten-related reaction to those who suffer from Celiac Disease."<h2>Why the diet is not for everyone</h2>A gluten-free diet does not necessarily lead to weight loss, despite popular belief. "In fact, some people with Celiac may find they gain weight as their digestive system finally heals and they are able to properly absorb nutrients," Sherman says. Here are some other reasons <a href="https://www.insider.com/no-weight-loss-after-going-gluten-free-2018-10">why you're not losing weight on the gluten-free diet</a>.However, people may find they have a sensitivity to gluten, aslo called non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). They may feel less bloated after eliminating gluten, specifically, from their diet, Sherman says. Despite initial intentions, "recently the diet has been introduced for purposes of IBS, weight loss, inflammation, auto-immune disorders and other health issues," Modell says. And though, "those with IBS may also benefit from limiting gluten in the diet if their IBS is triggered, for example, by fructan," it's also not a cure for these conditions. <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-a-low-fodmap-diet">The low-FODMAP diet</a> is another meal plan that is designed to help people with gastrointestinal symptoms linked to conditions like IBS.However, both Sherman and Modell think a gluten-free diet is not a one size fits all diet that everyone should adapt to be healthier. A <a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j1892">study</a> in 2017 in The BMJ showed that long-term gluten-free diets in people without celiac disease may increase risk of cardiovascular issues because eliminating gluten also means removing some healthful foods that provide vitamins and minerals."A lot of evidence points to the fact that whole grains in the diet are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cancer," Modell says. If you're following a gluten-free diet, including gluten-free whole grains will help you meet your nutrient needs.Sherman agrees that the diet is not inherently healthier for everyone. It's unlikely that healthy people will benefit from a gluten-free diet.<h1>Related stories about popular <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/diet">diets</a>:</h1><ul><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/is-gluten-bad-for-you">Gluten isn't bad for most people — here's why a gluten-free diet may actually be worse for your health</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-keto-diet">Everything you need to know about the keto diet</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/keto-vs-paleo-biggest-differences-2019-2">People often confuse the keto and paleo diets — here's how they differ</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/keto-diets-fuel-climate-change-harvard-nutritionist-says-2019-8">Keto dieters who fuel up on bacon and butter are 'irresponsible' stewards of the planet, a Harvard nutrition expert says</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-carb-cycling">Everything you need to know about carb cycling</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-mediterranean-diet">Why the Mediterranean diet is touted as one of the best by dietitians</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/mediterranean-diet-eating-for-a-day-2019-3"></a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-noom-diet">Why the Noom diet is proven to help people lose weight</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/does-intermittent-fasting-work">Does intermittent fasting work?

But David Carroll still hasn't been able to get his data back.&#xa0;Carroll, an associate professor at Parsons School of Design, filed a legal claim against the company after the scandal, demanding to see what information was in his profile.&#xa0;British laws allow users to request their own data if it has been processed in the UK. Even though the U.S. does not afford such data rights, Cambridge Analytica had processed the data in the UK, and Carroll believed he was entitled to it.&#xa0;However, after Cambridge Analytica filed for bankruptcy and was liquidated, a British court did not grant Carroll access to his data. But he hasn't given up - today, he is still engaged in the fight for his data, and remains optimistic that he may gain access through the British Information Commissioner's Office in the fall.&#xa0;His pursuit is depicted in "The Great Hack," a new Netflix original documentary that provides an inside look into the Cambridge Analytica scandal and follows Carroll as it all unfolds.&#xa0;&#xa0;The film also features interviews with Cambridge Analytica whistleblowers Brittany Kaiser and Christopher Wylie, as well as Carole Cadwalladr, the Guardian journalist who first broke the story.&#xa0;Business Insider spoke with Carroll about the fight for his own data, what the U.S. can do to improve data privacy ahead of the 2020 election, and the broader struggle for data rights.&#xa0;This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity and length.Your attempt to retrieve the data that Cambridge Analytica collected on you is a leading storyline in "The Great Hack." What can people do to protect their individual data and what have you learned from your struggle?&#xa0;My pursuit is a highly individualized narrative, which obscures the reality that it's a story about all of us. Quitting your Facebook account doesn't do anything. You can try to do the work of going through all your settings and being really hygienic about your data, but it's only going to reduce the scope of data leaking all over the place. It's certainly not going to have a total effect that people might want.&#xa0;Climate change is a better metaphor for the problem because individuals cannot solve the problem with their own behavior, nor are they really responsible to do that. It's not feasible. We can't stop climate change as individuals, it does require a collective response.&#xa0;Data protection is a structural problem. We don't have effective ways to hold companies accountable and to enforce when they commit data crimes because we don't even have a way to define, let alone prosecute, these data crimes. We can see that the existing tools we have are not succeeding at what they're supposed to do. They're not fit for purpose.&#xa0;There have been growing calls for new legal frameworks to address how technology has changed our society. The EU passed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) last year. Why doesn't the U.S. have something similar?&#xa0;Europeans have data rights. Americans don't have the same rights. The irony is that if Cambridge Analytica had not exported the data to England and kept it in the U.S., I would have had no recourse at all. I could have asked for my data and they could have denied the request with no obligation to respond.&#xa0;Some of that is a product of history - the EU is a relatively new political construction. In the charter of human rights that founded the EU, data protection rights are listed as a fundamental right that's equivalent to freedom of speech, freedom to marry, all these other basic human rights. That's why Europe has a 20-year lead on creating the infrastructure for businesses to provide for these rights.&#xa0;We're really behind. The law that I used is before the GDPR, it's the UK Data Protection Act of 1998. It's fascinating that before the dawn of the commercial internet, countries in Europe were ahead of the game and were creating data rights and establishing the enforcers well before we even realized we would need it.&#xa0;How optimistic are you about a federal privacy law? Some states are beginning to pass measures, but it doesn't seem that we'll have national regulation any time soon.&#xa0;I don't feel optimistic, either. But what's happening at the state level is extremely interesting to me. The California law, the New York privacy bill that's even stronger, and the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-loses-appeal-faces-biometric-class-action-lawsuit-illinois-2019-8">Illinois biometric lawsuit around facial recognition against Facebook</a>,&#xa0;these show that states can exert some appropriate pushback, especially when there is no federal law.&#xa0;If more state bills pass, especially in big states like New York and California that have economic power in the market, and where the tech companies are located, that's really significant. The industry lobby will then also pressure Congress to pass something, because they want a federal law that preempts the states. The tech industry does not want a patchwork of harsh state laws to comply with - that terrifies them.&#xa0;&#xa0;&#xa0;What has changed since the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the 2016 election? Do you think we are better prepared for 2020, or are we going to be dealing with the same problems?&#xa0;Facebook's ads library now tries to create some transparency with political ads. It gives you the ability to at least see what is being run and who it's being targeted to. The requirement to register and publish political ads for the sake of transparency is a good step forward, and the pressure on Facebook to do that is critical.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-campaign-facebook-ads-invasion-rhetoric-el-paso-shooting-suspect-2019-8">The recent story about finding the word 'invasion' in thousands of Trump campaign ads</a> shows that negative, hyper-targeted campaigning is still in full swing. But at least we can see it this time, whereas last time, it was all super targeted - you wouldn't know it was even there.&#xa0;The problem is there's still a lot of unattributable activity that we can't know who is behind. Cambridge Analytica boasted that they produced media that would never be recognized as political ads, through fake blogs and unattributed videos.&#xa0;Ultimately, it's a problem of privacy asymmetry, and it has to be rebalanced. An advertiser can mount a covert influence campaign on one of these platforms, and they are shrouded in privacy. Facebook protects their privacy more than their users because the advertisers are the real customers. That inverse relationship is really at the core of the problem. Advertisers deserve less privacy and everyone else deserves more.&#xa0;As daily users of these platforms, what can people do? Where should people's focus be in the fight for data rights?&#xa0;&#xa0;Researchers have shown that even when people read privacy policies, they do not understand them. We need requirements to make the terms and conditions readable, as if they were a nutrition label, so you can figure out at a glance what are the advantages and risks of making a choice.&#xa0;You wouldn't go to the grocery store and buy food products that didn't have the ingredients listed. This is something we expect in other parts of our lives. Why don't we expect it for the tech services we increasingly depend on?&#xa0;Right now, we can't even begin the challenge of becoming an educated consumer. It's a step-by-step process. We first need to have basic fundamental rights, like the right of access. We should be able to demand from any organization or company, 'Give me the data you have on me because you're legally obliged to do it.' All the other rights stand upon that foundation.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/intelligence/top-10-trends-in-digital-media?IR=T&amp;itm_source=businessinsider&amp;itm_medium=ctgr_bii&amp;itm_term=ctgr_leadgen&amp;itm_content=netflix&amp;itm_campaign=top-10-trends-in-digital-media"><img src="https://static.businessinsider.com/image/5c3dfe69d4beaf36ab26e737" alt="Exclusive FREE Slide Deck: Top 10 Trends in Digital Media by Business Insider Intelligence" border="0" style="margin: 0 auto !important; width: 100% !important; min-width: 280px !important; max-width: 640px !important" /></a><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iX8GxLP1FHo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-event-recap-everything-to-know-2019-8">Watch the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 event in 6 minutes</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/QcTMFOPN-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div>
