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!
