[This is a translation of an op-ed in French that was published in the French journal Revue Politique on SRB and the Digital Omnibus, plus the newest EDPB & EDPS Joint Opinion on the topic. The original in French can be found on the Revue Politique website. + The banner image is a jest – […]
The uncovering of a dataset with information on the movements and even domicile of European Commission officials is an important reminder that, as with every other technology or data point, location data can be abused. Since the news broke out, I have seen several seizing upon it to say that data brokers are inherently illegal […]
GDPR & DMA at CEDPO: Another great discussion (and a mini bit of sparring too) with Gwendal Le Grand, together with Borja Martínez Corral and our moderator Natascha Gerlach. Readers know how often I get to write critically about the European Data Protection Board, and my first thoughts on their DMA-GDPR Guidelines drafted together with […]

As mentioned in part 1 ( https://lnkd.in/dvNKkjWk ), the European Commission (EC) draws lots from the EDPB’s Consent or Pay Opinion. [I was *very* critical of that Opinion – see https://lnkd.in/eddQ4yW8 ] […]
The European Commission’s announcement that it will consider simplifying regulatory regimes, notably in relation to data and technology, seems to open Pandora’s box. Is it a chance to draw lessons from what works well and what works less well? In this series on “Better Regulation” in relation to the digital economy, I will be exploring […]
