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!

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.
