What are stalker ads?

Der Europäische Datenschutzausschuss (EDSA) hat heute seine europaweite koordinierte Durchsetzungsmaßnahme „Coordinated Enforcement Framework“ (CEF) für das Jahr 2025 gestartet. Insgesamt nehmen 32 Datenschutzaufsichtsbehörden aus Europa teil. @lfdi macht mit: „Wir wollen dabei helfen, dass die Rechte der Bürgerinnen und Bürger gestärkt werden und dass Verantwortliche Hilfestellungen bekommen, wie das Recht auf Löschung umgesetzt werden kann. Wir werden in diesem Jahr mit Veranstaltungen und Handreichungen zum Recht auf Löschung zusätzliche Unterstützung anbieten.“

As JD Vance delivered his speech about “European overregulation” and criticized “endless compliance costs imposed on the US companies by GDPR” I have seen some voices from Europe who said something to the effect “I don‘t know a single EU company happy about #GDPR either”.

Well, it’s kind of obvious companies aren’t happy because GDPR was not made to make companies happy but to protect the privacy of consumers 😄

This regulation is based on fundamental differences between US and EU legal systems. In EU, you own and control your personal data. In US it’s owned by whoever managed to extort it from you, and then aggregate, personalise and resell to any other entity anywhere.

For example, if you want to pay higher insurance premium because you have genetic tendencies to diabetes or obesity - well, that’s the US way of doing business, but it’s not the only one, nor it’s somehow axiomatically “better”. And yes, high insurance premiums also have the effect of increasing overall country’s GDP, just as a house burnt and rebuilt also does this magic, yet somehow few people celebrate it 😉

Then someone asked me if I really “feel that my data is better protected thanks to GDPR”. And yes, as a matter of fact the most invasive behavioural profiling aren’t being rolled out by companies like Twitter or Facebook to EU specifically because of GDPR, while in US they just roll them out without asking anyone.

Anyone… of course except for the states which have regulations very similar or even more restrictive than GDPR, such as California. Yet, because California is “their”, these companies and their CEOs with high media presence simply shut up and make their apps compliant with CCPA without all this barking about “how GDPR kills out business”.

It’s the same with EU VAT, about which Vance also whined, whereas US sales tax accounting rules are not even harmonized across states. But hey, you know what? An US business that has to emply a tax consulting company to get multi-state accounting right also increases overall GDP! 😄

So effectively what in US is perceived as each state’s fundamental right, sign of their diversity and key part of their autonomy, in the EU is portrayed as something equivalent to Soviet Union style central planning. And when they post all the memes about “bottle caps” in EU, they of course never mention a gazillion of state-level archaic or absurd regulations which are nonetheless binding, especially if someone likes to build a class lawsuit around them.

And now as Tesla opened a new factory in #China, I’ve never seen Musk make a single critical remark about the overregulation in China, even though it’s even more complex than EU and US taken together due to its vast geographic and administrative diversity.

Our data shouldn’t be used in a game where the house always wins 🎰

🚷 Big Tech shouldn't track your every move across the Internet to profile you as a product.

✅ Consent is a must – we should be able to opt-out of all targeted advertising on these platforms.

Your vote isn't won. It's predicted.

UK Political Parties collect and use data to profile you as a voter, tailoring their message accordingly.

Our new report finds that canvassing apps used by the Parties create risks to voters’ privacy.

Ah, algorithmic transparency, what I told the European Parliament was the next step they should take after GDPR. Better six years late than never. Hey, maybe in another decade they’ll even consider implementing a General Data Minimisation Regulation (GDMR).

"This article uses the case study of an insurance product linked to a health and wellbeing program—the Vitality scheme—as a lens to examine the limited regulation of collection and use of non-personal (de-identified/anonymised) information and the impacts it has on individuals, as well as society at large. Vitality is an incentive-based engagement program that mobilises online assessment tools, preventive health screening, and physical activity and wellness tracking through smart fitness technologies and apps. Vitality then uses the data generated through these activities, mainly in an aggregated, non-personal form, to make projections about changes in behaviour and future health outcomes, aiming at reducing risk in the context of health, life, and other insurance products. Non-personal data has been traditionally excluded from the scope of legal protections, and in particular privacy and data regimes, as it is thought not to contain information about specific, identifiable people, and thus its potential to affect individuals in any meaningful way has been understood to be minimal. However, digitalisation and ensuing ubiquitous data collection are proving these traditional assumptions wrong. We show how the response of the legal systems is limited in relation to non-personal information collection and use, and we argue that irrespective of the (possibly) beneficial nature of insurance innovation, the current lack of comprehensive regulation of non-personal data use potentially leads to individual, collective and societal data harms, as the example of the Vitality scheme illustrates."

Changes in the UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill will exacerbate the existing power imbalances that migrants, refugees and asylum seekers have over their data.

This will lead to significant harms and an expansion of the #DigitalHostileEnvironment.

‘The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) is imposing a fine of €10 million on Uber. The fine is in response to the company's failure to disclose the full details of its retention periods for data concerning European drivers, or to name the non-European countries in which it shares this data. The DPA also found that Uber had obstructed its drivers’ efforts to exercise their right to privacy.’ https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/en/current/uber-fined-eu10-million-for-infringement-of-privacy-regulations #uber #law #tech #gdpr #privacy #surveillance #dataprotection


If the government has its way, we'll be vulnerable to our data being used against us and less able to do anything about it.

Here's what's wrong with the #DataGrabBill ⬇️

🦾 Take action: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data

#HandsOffOurData #DataGrab #GDPR #DPDI #DPDIBill #dataprotection #privacy #ukpolitics
The Data Grab Bill will: Make it harder to access your data by giving organisations more powers to refuse requests / Increase the role of automated decision-making / Expand exemptions for data sharing, use and reuse / Increase political interference over the ICO without oversight / Create new powers to approve international data transfers


The outgoing Biometrics Commissioner has warned that regulation is falling behind advances in biometric surveillance.

The #DataGrabBill will gut the controls on the use of facial recognition and Automatic Number Plate Recognition, allowing for intrusive surveillance.

'As part of its bonfire of regulations' the #DataGrabBill will scrap the Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner in the UK.

The Bill moves the Commissioner's duties to the Information Commissioner's Office and removes the Surveillance Camera Code governing police and local authorities.

Facial recognition is expanding in the UK with little oversight, despite privacy risks and biased algorithms.

The #DataGrabBill will only widen the regulatory gap over the use and rampant collection of biometric data for surveillance.
