Controversial discussion-starter of the day: has any authority or court actually established that LLMs and other such models *do* involve the processing of personal data when they predict what might be a relevant next word/token/string of characters in a sequence, a next pixel in an image, etc.? I would love to see the reasoning. Not […]
A must-watch: here is the recording of our fun CPDP2024 panel discussion on the EU data strategy (covering GDPR, DMA, AI Act, fundamental rights, Pay Or OK and much more re data protection).

A bit more pragmatism regarding user interfaces and “dark patterns”? According to a German court, a colour difference for accept/reject buttons is not (always) a dark pattern that deprives data subjects of agency.

Here’s my summary for the “too long; didn’t read” crowd: (but really, read the whole article!) – GDPR compliance is the justification […]
Let the name-calling begin. Companies looking to leverage data are now told that it is just like they are responsible for oil spills, cancer and drug cartel violence. As a lawyer working for some of the companies facing these absurd comparisons, I thought I would tackle another controversial stance now: just how absolute (or relative) […]

Important read! Empirical study shows a significant reduction in value of ads without tracking. Anyone promoting tracking-free contextual ads over profile-based advertising (such as the EDPB) really needs to consider the fact that *this doesn’t work for everyone* and it will have massive repercussions for the digital economy. Let’s look at some of the findings […]
Out of the blue, I just received an invitation to apply for a job as Tax legal advisor. Contrary to their belief (hopefully not yours), I have developed a different kind of expertise (maybe I should offer my services to help them improve their understanding of their data). If, unlike them, you think I might […]
