Ping @EUCommission : The #EUObserver forgot to give the actual open letter - summary [1] + pdf [2] (thanks @edri ). A former #MetaLobbyist is *not* acceptable as the head of any national-level EU #DataProtectionCommission , and Ireland is especially important because of the headquarters of many #GAFAM s that have consistently violated EU citizens' and residents' privacy for many years.

Hahahahahaha, the Irish Data Protection Commission is and always has been a sick joke.
Now they’ve just become a parody of themselves.
If you’re surprised by this, you haven’t been paying attention:

In the EU, the Irish DPC doesn’t enforce GDPR, @noybeu does.
CC The muppets at @EUCommission – your Single Market for Institutional Corruption is doing great, sweetie.

Mostly, that's thanks to the fact that Ireland is a corporate crime-haven with a worse-than-useless #DataProtectionCommission:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/15/finnegans-snooze/#dirty-old-town
But anything that can't go on forever will eventually stop. Facebook has finally been dragged into EU federal jurisdiction, where it will face exterminatory fines if it continues to spy on Europeans:

Like me, you may have heard TikTok's PR to news media today about uncovering disinformation / influence campaigns, and wondered: what are they up to?
Maybe it's the appeal they've lodged (also today) in the High Court against massive €345 million fine they face for how they process children's personal data:

Sounds like the DPC needs to open another investigation on TikTok..

The UK Information Commissioner has provided new direct marketing guidance clarifying what is and isn't covered by privacy regulations.
Direct marketing in the UK includes any marketing targeted to an individual and through any means. Sounds simple enough right? Most people would consider emails and phonecalls to be caught. But there are also rules to consider around other types of marketing such as:
📨 sending DMs through a social media channel
📨 where your marketing campaigns encourage customers to send on marketing materials to friends and family (refer a friend schemes)
📨 where the marketing is based purely on tracking technology (e.g. cookies, pixels etc.)Link to the new direct marketing guidance here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-guidance-and-resources/direct-marketing-guidance/
