Hahahahahaha, the Irish Data Protection Commission is and always has been a sick joke.
Now they’ve just become a parody of themselves.
If you’re surprised by this, you haven’t been paying attention:

In the EU, the Irish DPC doesn’t enforce GDPR, @noybeu does.
CC The muppets at @EUCommission – your Single Market for Institutional Corruption is doing great, sweetie.

The ICO has finalised its guidance on "Consent or pay".
Unsurprisingly, given its pro-business stance, and its previous commentary, the ICO opines that this model can be consistent with data protection law.
I wonder where this will lead.

Since the techno-capitalists are so eager to know everything about us, let's make sure they learn what we're capable of.
Let's be the biggest nuisances we can possibly be! Let's exercise our privacy rights persistently and frequently! Let's educate others why and how to avoid them! Let's call them out for what they are at every occasion!
Even the little things we can do count at scale!

Together with other European tech companies, we've signed an open letter.

The EU is pushing to scan ALL private messages, even encrypted ones, endangering privacy, security, and fundamental freedoms across 450 million people.
This is mass surveillance disguised as child protection, and it breaks encryption, risks false accusations, and threatens democracy worldwide.

I've send a letter to the German Representative in the European Union regarding the chat control proposal with reasons why the chat control is a bad thing and that they should vote against it instead of abstaining
Main reasons:
- The chat control breaks encryption and without encryption devices are open to vulnerabilities. Beneath that, sensitive health, financial and other private data could be accessible to bad actors
- The chat control is prone to false positives which can lead to the identification of legal content as illegal which puts citizens in risk of becoming involved in investigations
