    We are going to court. Our lawsuit takes aim at Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Verizon, AT&T and the entire online advertising/tracking industry by challenging industry rules set by IAB TechLab. ⁦⁩

    This is an important campaign to hold the UK ICO to account. It had the duty to protect people from illegal online surveillance. It did not do so.

    🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 👉The online ad industry is stealing our most intimate personal data. 👉 The ICO refuses to take action against the widespread & systemic abuses of our privacy rights. 👉We've taken the ICO to court to ensure that they do their job!

    Today, the UK Government has put consent spam on the agenda for the G7. This is daft, because the UK Government could have fixed it before Brexit. See thread.

    The UK Government now points to 's (the tracking industry body) “consent” spam pop-ups as an example why it needs to abandon the GDPR. We remind that those pop-ups are illegal under the GDPR.

    I spoke with The New York Times' about today’s WhatsApp fine. Context in this thread

    Other GDPR enforcers rightly objected to the DPC's planned WhatsApp fine, and issued a binding EDPB that forced the DPC to increase that fine to €225 million.

    Mark Scott has the goods on this story

    Once again Ireland is caught acting as an uncooperative data haven and other European institutions have to step in in its stead. It's a sad thing to see, I hope they fix soon.

    Here's what happened. Europe's other regulators said Ireland hadn't done a good enough job. They added additional reasons about falling foul of Europe's rules and -- importantly -- they added this in terms of size of fine.

    Paragraph 10 summarises GDPR enforcers many criticisms of how the Irish DPC had initially handled this WhatsApp case. Much of this 89 page document is devoted to adding detail. (See paragraph 10 on page 7 and 8.)

    The EDPB binding decision shows how many DPAs criticised Ireland's handling of the WhatsApp case: Germany (the Germany federal authority and the Baden-Württemberg authority, too), France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Hungary. (p. 4)

    The EDPB has issued only two of these binding decisions - both directed at Ireland

    There were pages and pages of objections by other enforcers to the initial decision submitted by Ireland. This is quite a document
