😵 🤯 Last year a #Meta Lobbyist became a new head of the #Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC). Today, the former head of the DPC announced that she is now working for MHC - the Irish law firm for Meta that was previously defending Meta before the #DPC in #GPDR cases - basically a 360° seat swap between the Irish regulator and Meta.

This is not just extreme #CorporateCapture of a regulator and makes #Ireland a laughing stock within the EU, but moves like this also undermine any public...

This is an example of why to use caution with new tech. New tech is not bad. I mean without innovation we would still not have wheels.

But since nobody knows how it exactly works, don't do a "Eindhoven" 🔽

Finally some good news. My account means nothing to me if I don't use it in a year... #GPDR

"La refonte du RGPD par l'UE inquiète"

C'était trop beau. Encore une exemple où l'Europe est une vieille fille qui s'offre facile au plus offrant.

after watching kunal kamra's podcast (https://youtu.be/opbEHULi7JU) and also the @internetfreedom take on the #DPDP act (digital personal data protection), i really would like to bring some attention to the fact that this new act in #india threatens #transparency, #accountability and thereby #democracy.

the new #DPDP act allows the #government to prevent sharing certain information under the guise of protecting personal information. this violates the #RTI Act (right to information) and prevents citizens from holding the government accountable by eliminating any form of transparency in governance.

the act also prevents individuals and journalists to investigate and collect any data that the government might consider to be a violation of the act and issue penalties of up to 250 crores (which can be extended 500).

as someone who is a huge #privacy advocate, it is nice to see initiatives parallel to the #GPDR but it cannot come at the cost of government silencing public scrutiny.

> Eternal vigilance is the price of democracy

'The registration requirement imposed by Israel on aid organisations has cornered these organisations. That is the conclusion of the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), the Dutch data protection authority (...)

And the AP will very shortly enter into discussions with the data protection authorities in Europe on how the registration requirement relates to the European Commission's adequacy decision on Israel.'
