BeReal, the in the moment social media platform, is far from its 2022 heyday, but that hasn't stopped one organization from going after it. Austrian advocacy group Noyb has filed a complaint surrounding the platform's data consent banner practices. The organization claims that the banner disappears if users accept that their personal data can inform advertising practices, but if they click reject then the banner appears daily. Noyb filed its complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL) as Voodoo, a French company, bought BeReal in June the practice in question started in July. "BeReals daily attempt to pressure its users into accepting the tracking for personalised advertising has a significant impact on user behaviour. Consent given under these circumstances is not freely given, which means it doesnt meet the requirements established in Article 4(11) GDPR," Noyb argued in its complaint. It asked the CNIL to fine BeReal and force it to be compliant. Noyb also pointed to guidelines the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) adopted in early 2023 around such a technique. "The continuous prompting deceptive design pattern occurs when users are pushed to provide more personal data than necessary for the purposes of processing or to agree with another use of their data, by being repeatedly asked to provide additional data or to consent to a purpose of processing," the EDPB stated. "Such repetitive prompts can happen through one or several devices. Users are likely to end up giving in, as they are wearied from having to refuse the request each time they use the platform.

A Dutch refugee advocacy organization has created a provocative installation that challenges a common misconception about accommodations for asylum seekers. VluchtelingenWerk Nederland transformed a building in central Amsterdam into Hotel AZC a mock emergency shelter that gives visitors a firsthand look at the stark reality faced by those seeking refuge in the Netherlands. The temporary exhibition, open on 1213 December 2024, forcefully pushes back against the narrative that asylum seekers enjoy comfortable hotel stays.The initiative comes at a time when approximately 36,000 asylum seekers, including 6,000 children, are housed in emergency shelters across the Netherlands. These asylum centers, AZC for short, are plagued by poor hygiene, noise pollution and a severe lack of privacy. Frequent relocations across the country contribute to stress, uncertainty and depression among residents. We hear politicians pushing for austerity, and there are many misunderstandings about refugee accommodation in the Netherlands, says Frank Candel of VluchtelingenWerk. Thats why were inviting everyone to come see for themselves. By making the invisible visible, the organization hopes to spark a more fact-based public dialogue about refugee housing conditions.
