**Netopia EU** @netopia@eupolicy.social · Apr 14

Ever since Google et al. forced publishers to act as data processors (rather than controllers as they ultimately are), GDPR became a busted flush... and that was a week after implementation.

European Digital Rights (EDRi)How better GDPR enforcement could minimise hate and harm - European Digital Rights (EDRi)Lax enforcement of the GDPR has had far-reaching consequences for many people and collectives in the EU, especially those most vulnerable.

This so funny on several levels: The #CJEU just used the #GDPR to protect the #gender identity of a #trans #refugee in #Hungary. https://tgeu.org/data-protection-is-human-protection-eus-top-court-demands-hungary-correct-trans-refugees-documents/ #EUdataP

TGEU - Transgender Europe · Mar 13Data protection is human protection: EU’s top court demands Hungary correct trans refugee's documents - TGEU - Trans Europe and Central AsiaToday, the European Court of Justice (CJEU) issued a judgment in the case of Deldits (C-247/23), stating that national authorities responsible for keeping public registers (such as asylum registers) should correct data on gender identity when it is inaccurately recorded.

According to the leaked annexes of their Work Programme 2025, the #EU #Commission will withdraw the 2017 proposal for an #ePrivacy Regulation. The EP had a pretty progressive approach, but Council was not willing to concede on surveillance. Which means we are still with the pretty good #ePrivacy Directive in the version of 2009. #EUdataP

The Trump White House has told three Democratic-selected members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to resign or be fired, which would stop the independent agency from functioning.

Just spotted the last #EDPB document of 2023: Contribution to the #Commission report on the application of the #GDPR. https://edpb.europa.eu/our-work-tools/our-documents/other/contribution-edpb-report-application-gdpr-under-article-97-2023_en. From the press release: "While a number of important challenges lie ahead, the EDPB considers it premature to revise the GDPR at this point in time and calls on the co-legislators to swiftly adopt the new Regulation laying down additional procedural rules relating to the cross-border enforcement of the GDPR." #EUdataP

BEUC is not happy: https://www.beuc.eu/press-releases/new-commission-proposal-falls-short-boosting-gdpr-enforcement #EUdataP

BEUCNew Commission proposal falls short in boosting GDPR enforcementA European Commission proposal published today which should have led to speedier and more effective cross-border enforcement of the EU’s signature law on data protection – the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – is unlikely to be of much help to consumers. The European Parliament and Member States have to substantially amend it to truly improve cross-border enforcement and improve complainants’ rights.

op.europa.euStudy on the impact of recent developments in digital advertising on privacy, publishers and advertisers : final report.This study has collated evidence which on balance indicates a strong case to reform digital advertising. It indicates that the status quo is unsustainable for individuals, publishers and advertisers. Digital advertising that relies on the collection of personal data, tracking and massive-scale profiling can have unintended consequences on data protection rights, security, democracy and the environment. But there is little independent evidence to support claims that the use of extensive tracking and profiling yields a significant advantage compared to digital advertising models which don’t do this. This strengthens the position of players who have the most control over and insight into people’s behaviour online and weakens the ability of others, especially advertisers and publishers, to communicate directly to their customers. It has also created an accountability crisis, where individuals are expected to navigate a complex web of companies in order to control the types of ads they see online. This study points to gaps in the regulatory framework which could enable many of the issues highlighted to persist. There is a need to improve transparency and accountability, increase individuals’ control over how their personal data is used for digital advertising and address a number of obstacles that make it harder for advertisers and publishers to “know their audience”.

I somehow missed that #FOSDEM had a keynote where #Facebook advertised its #uploadfilters which build on the infamous #PhotoDNA.

No mention of ethical considerations.

Q&A: can't confirm nor deny whether SSCD is used in production, whether Facebook does anything to correct false positives, whether it's possible at all (given it requires re-training).
