(Luckily not only) Law, Privacy and Politics. #ScheißDaNix

😵 🤯 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...

Die Auskunftei #CRIF hat die Daten von Millionen Leuten in Österreich gesammelt - und den meisten Leuten einen "Score" zugewiesen nur anhand von Anschrift, Alter und Geschlecht. Handyanbieter, Banken und Stromanbieter nutzen diesen "Score". Wir wollen Licht ins Dunkle bringen. Mach mit: https://crif.noyb.eu/

What is the best "impact assessment" for an NGO? If a huge Big Tech company like #Meta publicly says your work should be prohibited.. 😂

The EU institutions have ventured out to "simplify" slow #GDPR procedures - this is the legislative mess we now seem to get:
"Rigid German #GDPR" in Practice: Today we (@noybeu) just got a scan (!) of a fax (!) that a company has submitted with the Berlin DPA on 14.8.2019 to reply to.
This is a whapping 5 years, 6 months and 12 days to forward a legal submission between two parties! 😵‍
