Emma Loop / @loopemma : “All parties agree this is a fair settlement.” https://www.vice.com/... Kontra / @counternotions : “The wholesome Canadian chain”! (Let's build that wall.) https://twitter.com/... Drew FitzGerald / @drewfitzgerald : Sorry we kept a sprawling surveillance system that would make the stasi blush; cruller? https://twitter.com/... Taylor Owen / @taylor_owen : This is what accountability looks like when your privacy commissioner has no power and your data regulations are decades out of date. https://twitter.com/... Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz : Toss in a croissant and we're getting somewhere https://twitter.com/... Rob Price / @robaeprice : Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons secretly tracked its customers' locations for over a year. It's offering them each one free hot drink and a pastry to say sorry. https://www.vice.com/... https://twitter.com/... Rahul Mehrotra / @rahulmehrotraa : lmaoo they are really offering a double double and a timbit https://twitter.com/... Ken Yeung / @thekenyeung : Tim Horton's spied on people for more than a year. As compensation, it's offering free coffee and a pastry. All is forgiven I suppose, right? https://www.vice.com/... @martinsfp : On one hand: lol On the other hand: you get nothing for most cases of data misuse https://twitter.com/... Jason Koebler / @jason_koebler : sorry we spied on you for a year; here's a free coffee https://www.vice.com/... Ken Wattana / @kenwattana : Better than other companies have done tbh https://twitter.com/... Joseph Cox / @josephfcox : People are dragging Tim Hortons for offering a free coffee + baked good as a settlement for monitoring the location data of users for over a year. But the value of the coffee offered is $6.19 CAD, meaning you could really go to town on the menu, be happy https://www.vice.com/...
