...trust in the #RuleOfLaw and #Democratic institutions. I cannot believe that they and their families are not ashamed of themselves down to their bones... 😞

I just started in a really interesting new role! I am delighted to join the team at Mason Hayes & Curran LLP at a time when data and technology regulation along with digital platform governance are rapidly evolving. Regulators are placing greater emphasis on accountability, transparency, and risk mitigation in online environments. As the firm’s Global Digital Regulatory Consultant, I look forward to helping clients develop practical strategies that enable them to operate confidently while meeting regulatory and societal expectations. #MHCLaw #Leadership #Regulation | 85 comments on LinkedIn

😵 🤯 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...

Increasingly I get the feeling the #EU should simply react with a 10% tariff "until we get California".. just to show how absurd all of this got by now.. 😂 https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c1j8kw866p3t
Starmer tells Trump in phone call that plan to apply tariffs over Greenland 'wrong'

The prime minister also tells the US president that security in the Arctic remains a priority "for all Nato allies".

The "sanctions" against heads of European NGOs for simply doing there job under the law on #HateSpeech (where much was outsourced by the industry to "trusted flagers" and alike) is another level and is obviously very close to home @noybeu. It's urgent to support your local Digital Rights NGOs.

Nachdem die US-Regieung anscheinend die "Herauslösung" Österreichs aus der EU als Ziel hat, stellt sich dann mal die Frage was der Verfassungsschutz (bisher eher auf Russland & Co gerichtet) gedenkt zu tun.. 😐
