Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The GDPR serves as a “backbone of the EU’s digital rulebook”, but has also been a source of intense debate and criticism from the outset. Broadly, two main sides have emerged: some say the GDPR constitutes an excessive regulatory burden on businesses and the economy; others warn that revising it risks undermining fundamental rights.</p><p>In the current political climate, shaped by lobbying pressure from powerful private actors, political narratives are increasingly aligned with the first view. The Commission, as well as the coalition treaty of the current German government, call for reducing the burden on SMEs (small and medium enterprises) from GDPR obligations and other “bureaucratic” requirements.</p><p>While easing burdens on non-commercial actors, such as associations, is arguably reasonable and legitimate (as data protection is, after all, a balancing of interests between processors and data subjects), the debate is overly fixated on simplification, efficiency, and competitiveness. These terms, however, lack intrinsic normative value. Without clear reference points, they remain empty rhetoric. One can, after all, dismantle democracies very efficiently. Unless they are linked to fundamental rights and sustainable social and political objectives, an exclusive focus on these buzzwords will ultimately benefit only those actors who already dominate the market.</p><p>Meanwhile, several structural challenges remain unresolved: the dysfunctional instrument of consent; the increasing impossibility of distinguishing between data categories, especially in the age of AI; the structural erosion of data protection principles; the lack of coordination with other legal acts, and the continuing unbridled power of global players in the digital economy, whose aggressive data extraction continues."</p><p><a href="https://verfassungsblog.de/reforming-the-gdpr/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">verfassungsblog.de/reforming-t</span><span class="invisible">he-gdpr/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FundamentalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FundamentalRights</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DSA</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"You would think that such a win would generate immediate and enthusiastic support from top Democrats for Mamdani’s candidacy in a general election where he will face Republican Curtis Sliwa; Adams, the scandal-plagued incumbent who skipped the Democratic primary and is running on a newly created third-party line; and, potentially, a sore-loser third-party candidacy by Cuomo. Yes, Mamdani is a democratic socialist – like Sanders and US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Yes, he has taken bold, progressive stands on economic issues while advocating for international and domestic human rights. But, as the primary results illustrate, he’s also a very popular Democratic nominee for one of the highest-profile elected positions in the United States.</p><p>Despite that fact, Democratic congressional leaders who come from New York City, such as Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, have yet to endorse Mamdani. Nor have other prominent New York Democrats, such as Governor Kathy Hochul and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand—though the latter did make Islamophobic remarks about Mamdani that she later apologized for. And some Democrats who represent suburban communities, such as US Representative Laura Gillen, have been outspoken in their criticism of a party nominee whom they disagree with on issues ranging from tax policy and US support for the Israeli assault on Gaza.</p><p>The reluctance of prominent Democrats to formally endorse the party’s nominee has led to complaints from progressives. “It’s time for every Democratic leader to get on board,” says New York Working Families Party codirector Jasmine Gripper. “The Mamdani tent is big enough for everyone. Any leader who is serious about building a base of energized voters and wins would be smart to join us.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/zohran-mamdani-primary-votes-record-union/#" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thenation.com/article/politics</span><span class="invisible">/zohran-mamdani-primary-votes-record-union/#</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NYC</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Mamdani" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mamdani</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DSA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticParty</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Democrats</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DemocraticSocialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticSocialism</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"At a 2021 conference of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), Zohran Mamdani discussed various short-term reforms favored by the organization. But alongside offering his thoughts on the groups’ immediate aims, he also had something to say about “end goal” of socialist politics: “seizing the means of production.”</p><p>In the last week, the clip resurfaced on right-wing social media, where it’s been treated as a damning discovery about Mamdani, who just won a primary to become the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City.</p><p>National Review ran a brief item on the clip under the headline “Uh, That’s Literal Communism!” On CNN, Scott Jennings concurred, saying that Mamdani was “using the language of the Bolsheviks.” Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) said that this was “the scariest thing Mamdani has said” and that it was “straight out of Karl Marx’s Communist playbook.”</p><p>It’s unclear why these remarks about the end goal of socialist politics are supposed to be shocking. Days before this supposedly scandalous clip surfaced, when a CNN reporter asked Mamdani whether he “like[d] capitalism,” his response was a forthright “No, I have many critiques.”</p><p>And of course, Mamdani constantly called himself a “socialist” during the primary election in which he delivered a knockout blow against former governor Andrew Cuomo, defeating the former governor by 12 points in the final round.</p><p>A socialist advocating the socialization of the means of production should be exactly as surprising as a libertarian advocating “liberty” from economic redistribution or a conservative calling to conserve the status quo. This is socialism’s core defining proposition, and it is a mark of how alien many of the ideas of the Left are to the media class that Mamdani’s comments have come as a surprise."</p><p><a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/07/zohran-mamdani-socialism-bernie-taibbi" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2025/07/zohran-mam</span><span class="invisible">dani-socialism-bernie-taibbi</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NYC</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Mamdani" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mamdani</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Socialism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DemocraticSocialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticSocialism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DSA</span></a></p>
