    To those currently ‘reconsenting’ cos you know, the GDPR 🤦‍♂️& don’t know about or disregard PECRs “if you don’t have valid consent & cannot otherwise fall within R. 22(3) PECR you cannot try to elicit e-marketing consent from individuals”

    Quebec is good cannon fodder for this topic :-)

    My column on Quebec’s plan to impose digital taxes on companies like Netflix. With administrative costs that may be greater than revenues for many, it turns out it is easier said than done.

    Just had a sales cold call, where they said “this call is recorded for security and training purposes” and I objected to this call being used for training, quoting GDPR and they hung up… :-)

    Nice Article. There is also the matter of enabling the existing infrastructure to handle the sovereign policy. It has the same misleading problem, as this is a dialogue between policies. Not policy asserted over one or another.

    Self-sovereign identity: idea is exciting but misleading. Wall Street Journal April/3/2018.

    Exactly, its not over - its just beginning. People can take back control, block, restrict, erase, and even rectify (alter) the data that is already out there.

    The Real RMS, the Original Hacker, tells it how it is!

    They could become European citizens! Short of that, using tools such as the browser is an ethical way to block ads, increase security, and pay the websites that you visit 1/2

    All the new DP trainers who are experts - hopefully move on after May 25th.

    The fact that anyone pays him at all is a miracle. I hope the May 25th deadline takes all of the heat out of the DP sector, and some of these people get wiped out.
