A cautionary tale: my June flights to/from Israel were canceled by the airlines due to the Iran war. My tickets haven't been refunded. They were bought via @bookingcom. Instead of reimbursing the tickets, Booking is pointing at the airlines. Booking.com buyers beware!

Last week, the world watched in horror at the images coming from Israel. This was an act of pure evil. To the people of Israel, and to Jews around the world, be strong and brave. California stands with you.

In an op ed on data transfers 5 years post GDPR, Chris Kuner points to “problems with enforcement of cross-border cases” as key to improving the framework. I’m not persuaded by his analysis, and would warn him to be careful what he wishes for. (thread 👇) eulawlive.com/op-ed-internat…

On this side of the ocean, “centralization” doesn’t sound so good. In fact, when advocates and academics argued against a federal privacy law last year, the clause they fought against the hardest was federal preemption, essentially the “centralization” of enforcement in DC.

So to Kuner I say, “problems with enforcement of cross-border cases”? There may be many reasons, not least the many compromises baked into the language of GDPR. “Centralization” is no silver bullet.
