Do you think we need more privacy? Well, so do I! Maybe we should talk?

I'm looking for collaborations, projects, and ways to promote privacy and privacy literacy (ideally offering some compensation). If you are (or your organization / company is) thinking about or already doing work on privacy-related issues that might benefit from my tech-critical, socio-legal perspective and experience in privacy education and outreach, please do not hesitate to reach out!

What I've learned in the last months after talking to a lot of people from different companies when they complained about #DataProtection and #regulation :

It wouldn't be such an issue if DPOs would be trained and included better and usually internal processes are directly from hell.

Please don't complain about regulation if you can't handle proper automation.

US Supreme Court ruled police generally need a valid warrant backed by probable cause before using geofence searches for cellphone location data. ⚖️
The 6-3 Chatrie ruling recognizes location records as private, limiting broad geofence warrants and strengthening digital privacy protections. 🔒

The UK must ditch the failed path of technological dependency on the US.

With this knock-out blow for US data transfers, having US Big Tech companies like Palantir running our critical infrastructure will fast become unworkable.

UK data transfers with the US come under an extension of the EU-US framework.

If or when the framework falls, so too with the extension. So what could happen next?

The UK's new data protection law allows personal data transfers to countries without independent or judicial oversight of data protection rules.

But this would likely screw the EU-UK adequacy agreement, costing billions.

The US Supreme Court has undermined the oversight of data protection standards by letting Trump gut independent federal agencies.

It's a death warrant for the workability of the EU-US framework.

As Max Schrems points out, the invalidation of the US adequacy decision is not a matter of if but when.

Data transfers to the US have been the centre of controversy for decades.

It concerned the protection of personal data from US mass surveillance programmes.

That's why the EU-US framework requires oversight to be independent in order to protect the agencies' ability to enforce legal standards.

Trouble ahead for US data transfers 🧨

The US Supreme Court has overturned the precedent that Presidents can't remove heads of independent agencies at will.

They've taken a sledgehammer to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework on which the UK also depends.

“A vulnerability in Apple’s “Hide My Email” tool lets almost anyone discover a person’s real email address that is supposed to be hidden by the feature, and Apple has failed to fix it for more than a year, according to a security researcher and 404 Media’s own tests.

404 Media is not revealing the exact details of the vulnerability because it can still be exploited as of Monday, when 404 Media verified the issue with one of our own hidden email addresses.

”Apple Hide My Email is leaking email addresses that are supposed to be hidden. We reported the issue and replication instructions to Apple over a year ago. We don't know why it hasn't been fixed, but we don't feel comfortable waiting any longer. Hide My Email users deserve to know that it may be possible for attackers to discover their hidden email addresses,” Tyler Murphy, the co-founder of EasyOptOuts, which discovered and reported the issue to Apple, told 404 Media.”

Dear @EUCouncil and @EUCouncilPress ,👋

The presidency does not, like you, communicate with EU citizens on a #european, #democracy -strengthening, open social network.

My question: When will the #EU begin communicating with European citizens through open #sovereign public europoean networks?

"On Monday, the US Supreme Court decided in Trump v. Slaughter that the US Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) may not be independent anymore. Since 2000, the EU has relied on the “independent” FTC as the enforcer of EU-US deals on personal data. According to EU treaty law, such oversight must be independent. In the current EU-US deal, the European Commission relies on the independent FTC 259 (!) times. Max Schrems: “Given that there are no independent authorities in the US anymore, we call on the European Commission to orderly withdraw the adequacy decision on the US.”"

Another Cassandra moment for many privacy professionals.

What we have been warning about for a while now is finally happening: whatever remained of the legal framework for sending personal data to the United States is in shambles due to a recent Supreme Court decision.

Companies, if you haven't cut ties with US-based services by now, brace yourselves for trouble and a great deal of uncertainty.

P.S.: We told you so!
