Listen to @chlobemy from @edri explain #DataRetention and what is happening in the EU now:

„Metadata is as sensitive as the content of communications. There is this wrong idea – especially in the mind of policy-makers when we meet them – that metadata, so the data about the communications, is less sensitive than content data. This is this myth that we have to bust every time when we talk about this topic.“

NL. Horrible data breach.

The data of 485,000 women who participated in the population screening for cervical cancer has been stolen via a hack. Not just personal information, such as name and address, was involved. Official identification numbers and test results were also captured.

What does the Digital Services Act (DSA) mean for online advertising and adtech?

New blog post by Pieter Wolters and me.

Our most controversial claim is that ad networks and some other adtech companies must be considered ‘platforms’ in the sense of the DSA.

Hence, they must comply with the DSA’s general rules for platforms.
