#73: If you want something different, do it yourself

In this episode Jyri and Pilvi try to overcome their urge to discuss anything else but privacy and just be negative and tired of how the world is going, and after a while they actually somewhat succeed in that–or perhaps succeed is a bit of a strong word.  In any case, we discuss the current world politics situation and how it might affect the DPF and data transfers to China, not to mention that Latombe I had its day in court. The political situation might also affect the coming GDPR revamp, but in which way? We also discuss the following cases: Meta’s and X’s decisions to teach their AIs with public posts by its users and what the Hamburg, Irish, and Norwegian DPAs have to say about it; A case from ireland: Is the employer a controller for the employee’s personal life data in their work phone? Amazon losing the appeal for MEUR 746 GDPR fines; Spanish DPA giving out EUR 500K fine for the processor that added sub-processors without a proper authorization by the controller. This, and much more that you never wanted to hear on this episode!   Did you enjoy our show?
