Now on @bluesky and increasing number of posts about privacy and digital policy. Disappointed not to find the privacy commissioners over there. Network effects! @PrivacyPrivee @BCInfoPrivacy @IPCinfoprivacy

Proud to have worked on new @coe guidelines on privacy and voter authentication/ registration. Critical as more and more countries introduce biometrics into elections.
