Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"[O]ne does not have to have sympathy or empathy for a CEO to see how this sort of thing could and often does go off the rails. This example is emblematic of the problem specifically because it’s easy to laugh at these people and because they’re doing something distasteful, but not illegal. The same technologies used to dox and research this CEO are routinely deployed against the partners of random people who have had messy breakups, attractive security guards, people who look “suspicious” and are caught on Ring cameras by people on Nextdoor, people who dance funny in public, and so on. There has been endless debate about the ethics of doxing cops and ICE agents and Nazis, and there are many times where it makes sense to research people doing harm on behalf of the state or who are doing violent, scary things in to innocent people. It is another to deploy these technologies against random people you saw on an airplane or who had a messy breakup with an influencer. And of course, these same technologies are regularly deployed by police and the feds against undocumented immigrants, regular people, and people wanting to visit the United States on tourist visas."</p><p><a href="https://www.404media.co/the-astronomer-ceos-coldplay-concert-fiasco-is-emblematic-of-our-social-media-surveillance-dystopia/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/the-astronomer-ceo</span><span class="invisible">s-coldplay-concert-fiasco-is-emblematic-of-our-social-media-surveillance-dystopia/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FacialRecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FacialRecognition</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</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/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Today, noyb has filed GDPR complaints against AliExpress, TikTok and WeChat. All three tech companies have failed to comply with access requests under Article 15 GDPR. This makes it impossible for European users to exercise their fundamental right to privacy, to find out how their personal data is being processed – and if the companies actually comply with other GDPR provisions, for example regarding data transfers.

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>
