Not a gatekeeper? No matter – the DMA-GDPR Guidelines of the EDPB & European Commission are important: the EDPB’s input aims to ensure consistency in the interpretation of the GDPR. I’ll go through all 55 pages before next week’s great CEDPO panel with the EDPB’s own Gwendal Le Grand, Borja Martínez Corral and our moderator […]
SRB: Do potential cyber attacks matter when assessing whether pseudonymisation is sufficient to make personal data cease to be “personal” from the perspective of a recipient?

Several posters seem to agree with the EDPB’s new ePrivacy Guidelines. “Of course every computer interaction is covered”. I disagree, but let’s imagine they are right.

With the European Data Protection Board’s “stakeholder” event registration opening tomorrow in relation to its […]
Significant news from the ICO re Meta: lower price than EU, and no “less personalised ads” offering… in the UK. The “Pay or OK” type of approach is alive and well over there (in this case: for Facebook & Instagram). Compared to the EU approach, it looks like the UK regulator has taken a pragmatic stance […]
Simplification and the Draghi report in relation to EU digital laws: what could/should be done? Some thoughts I shared at an event yesterday on the topic: 1. The laws themselves are not always bad.
