Ping @EUCommission : The #EUObserver forgot to give the actual open letter - summary [1] + pdf [2] (thanks @edri ). A former #MetaLobbyist is *not* acceptable as the head of any national-level EU #DataProtectionCommission , and Ireland is especially important because of the headquarters of many #GAFAM s that have consistently violated EU citizens' and residents' privacy for many years.

The EU must safeguard independence of data protection authorities - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

The appointment raises serious concerns about impartiality and the credibility of data protection enforcement in the EU.

Hahahahahaha, the Irish Data Protection Commission is and always has been a sick joke.

Now they’ve just become a parody of themselves.

If you’re surprised by this, you haven’t been paying attention:

In the EU, the Irish DPC doesn’t enforce GDPR, @noybeu does.

CC The muppets at @EUCommission – your Single Market for Institutional Corruption is doing great, sweetie.

[13:00] DPC opens inquiry into Ryanair for asking customers for extra biometric “verification” when booking outside Ryanair.com

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) has opened an inquiry into whether Ryanair is disproportionately asking for too much personal identification from people who book from third party websites or online travel agents instead of directly from Ryanair.
