🤮 EU Member States propose a #ReverseRobinHood:
Take personal data from Millions of people and give it to the US-Billionaires. Data gathering for "AI processing" made automatically legal under the #GDPR.

#CRIF hat von fast jedem in Österreich Name, Geburtsdatum und Adresse gesammelt um "Bonitätsscores" hochzurechnen, dabei gibt es zu 90% keine Finanzdaten. Wir haben eine #Unterlassungsklage eingebracht und eine #Sammelklage (€500/Person) gestartet. Mach risikofrei mit: crif.noyb.eu
This is the end of any idea of having international law and the US being a guarantee for a (somewhat) stable world order. Whatever we think about Maduro, it's just as legal as Putin's attempt to capture Zelenskyy. Very likely a blueprint for China or Russia for years to come...
URGENTE! A Venezuela sofre uma agressão militar dos EUA, com ataques que atingem a população civil da capital Caracas sob o comando de Donald Trump. O imperialismo exporta guerra e destruição, da Palestina à América Latina. Ataque merece repúdio e condenação rápida. É um ataque a América do Sul que viola todas as regras do direito internacional.
We have now moved a totally new territory: NGOs that were often used as a buffer "third party" in hate speech law (neither big tech nor governments) are now targeted in an active assault on EU #RuleOfLaw and #DigitalLaw by the US - the "tech bros" are celebrating. We now...
WE'VE SANCTIONED: Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, the leader and founder of HateAid, a German organization founded after the 2017 German federal elections to counter conservative groups. HateAid is an official “trusted flagger” (a censor) under the EU’s anti-speech Digital Services Act (DSA) and routinely demands access to propriety social media platform data to help it censor more. Hodenberg cited threat of “disinformation” from “right-wing extremists” online in upcoming U.S. and EU elections when circulating a petition for the DSA to become more strongly enforced to allow data access for “researchers".
...need to stand together. I have as a first move donated € 100 today to @HateAid, but there are many other EU NGOs that work on Democracy and Digital Rights (see e.g. edri.org/about-us/our-networ… for an NGO in your Member State) or obviously our NGO (@NOYBeu).
📢We (@NOYBeu) are right now looking for #GDPR and #litigation lawyers, #Ruby / #RubyOnRails Developers and #IT #ProjectManagers.

The message by business and CSO stakeholders alike on #GDPR reform was clear: no reopening.
There were "special interest" asks and a lot of push against DPAs and the #CJEU - but in reality we have 1.3% of complaints leading to a fine - so not sure this is fair criticism. 🙄
✅ While the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) remains a global benchmark, there's always room to fine-tune.
At the implementation dialogue on the the #GDPR - we discussed clarifying certain aspects & fostering more open dialogue with data protection authorities.
Ich war ja von Preis/Leistung (und weil nahe Westbahnhof) immer eher ein Fan der @WESTbahn1 - aber inzwischen ist es einfach nur gestopft (weil zB nicht mehr alle 30' nach Salzburg), teuer und auch immer öfter verspätet (weil Züge aus DE kommen) - "spread too thin".. #Schade.. 😐
I am always happy when PR people from @Meta get quoted 1:1 (or we get the personal attacks forwarded by journalists). This is a special beauty:
@Meta's German PR bulldog (@segmenta_com) says instead of enforcing the #GDPR on companies we should rather go against governments.
Now we know that such emails are sent by @Meta PR firms - usually they do an "official statement" and then a "confidential" part that is there to push narratives to journalists and discredit NGOs.
Nice to have a rare occurrence where @notebookcheck has copied this in 1:1 so...
