@Linza I’ve got the start of a bill here if anyone at @EUCommission wants to table it (I won’t hold my breath, shall I?)

GDMR: this one simple regulation could end surveillance capitalism in the EU

GDMR: The regulation EU citizens deserve. No, you didn’t misread it and, no, it’s not a typo. GDMR – the General Data Minimisation Regulation – can end surveillance capitalism in the EU. The problem is that no such regulation exists. So, let’s change that, starting now. To be effective, GDMR must be succinct and precise. The essence of it can be expressed in a single article with two paragraphs:

Just wanted to reserve a table at a restraunt. Their online reservation demanded my full adress as mandatory fields. What the heck? If I just call the place, all I need to give is my name and they probably record my phone number. I now live at Dataminimisation Avenue 42, in 1337 Noneofyourbusiness.

Elon Musk's DOGE asks for access to IRS taxpayer data, sources say

If granted, DOGE would have personal financial details on millions of Americans.

Ah, algorithmic transparency, what I told the European Parliament was the next step they should take after GDPR. Better six years late than never. Hey, maybe in another decade they’ll even consider implementing a General Data Minimisation Regulation (GDMR).

Europe's data protection laws cut data storage by making information-wrangling pricier

GDPR also slashed processing costs by over a quarter

I'm at an #EU  #DataSpaces conference, where I'll be speaking about the #EHDS.

The conference is co-organised by the Spanish #DPA but they seem to spend more time lamenting about #innovation, #datamarkets and #synergies than they do about #privacybydesign, #dataminimisation and #consent.  #GDPR

Argh. Webinar registration forms that have street address as a mandatory field. Stop it already!
