McGrath seems very committed to the EU Charter of #FundamentalRights, understanding the importance of #DataProtection, free expression, #MediaFreedom and other rights for a pluralistic and vibrant #democracy.

Tomorrow’s hearing with @mmcgrathtd will tackle #ConsumerProtection, future of #GDPR, personalised #OnlineAdvertising, and #MediaFreedom.
Curious what questions await the candidate Commissioner?
