California AG publicly shames United Airlines on Twitter over crappy privacy policy

Shum sez, “California Attorney General Kamala Harris has been working to oversee tech companies so they better protect consumer privacy–notably forging an agreement with the 6 leading mobile platforms to require the apps they host have privacy policies–these policies give both the state and individuals standing to sue if they are breached. Today she took one more step to enforce–not by pulling out the stick, but the tweet–with a public call for United Airlines to follow the law and post a policy describing what it will be doing with what private information of individuals that its apps collect.”
