This is the end of any idea of having international law and the US being a guarantee for a (somewhat) stable world order. Whatever we think about Maduro, it's just as legal as Putin's attempt to capture Zelenskyy. Very likely a blueprint for China or Russia for years to come...

URGENTE! A Venezuela sofre uma agressão militar dos EUA, com ataques que atingem a população civil da capital Caracas sob o comando de Donald Trump. O imperialismo exporta guerra e destruição, da Palestina à América Latina. Ataque merece repúdio e condenação rápida. É um ataque a

...need to stand together. I have as a first move donated € 100 today to @HateAid, but there are many other EU NGOs that work on Democracy and Digital Rights (see e.g. https://t.co/Z1bpbZ3MHi for an NGO in your Member State) or obviously our NGO (@NOYBeu).

We have now moved a totally new territory: NGOs that were often used as a buffer "third party" in hate speech law (neither big tech nor governments) are now targeted in an active assault on EU #RuleOfLaw and #DigitalLaw by the US - the "tech bros" are celebrating. We now...

Heute wohl für @NOYBeu im #ZDFheute journal um 21:45 zur Frage wie sich #BigTech in #Irland prächtig vor EU-Gesetzen verstecken - und die Europäische Kommission zuschaut.. 😐 Details zu unseren über 800 #DSGVO - Fällen in ganz Europa auf https://t.co/ul46o8yC6l 😊

The message by business and CSO stakeholders alike on #GDPR reform was clear: no reopening. There were "special interest" asks and a lot of push against DPAs and the #CJEU - but in reality we have 1.3% of complaints leading to a fine - so not sure this is fair criticism. 🙄

✅ While the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) remains a global benchmark, there's always room to fine-tune. At the implementation dialogue on the the #GDPR - we discussed clarifying certain aspects & fostering more open dialogue with data protection authorities.

Ich war ja von Preis/Leistung (und weil nahe Westbahnhof) immer eher ein Fan der @WESTbahn1 - aber inzwischen ist es einfach nur gestopft (weil zB nicht mehr alle 30' nach Salzburg), teuer und auch immer öfter verspätet (weil Züge aus DE kommen) - "spread too thin".. #Schade.. 😐

Now we know that such emails are sent by @Meta PR firms - usually they do an "official statement" and then a "confidential" part that is there to push narratives to journalists and discredit NGOs. Nice to have a rare occurrence where @notebookcheck has copied this in 1:1 so...

..some of these PR guys' websites. For example these guys highlight how "trust" or "responsibility" is key in Corporate Communication - just to then use a picture of protesters to paint a progressive picture - when in practice accusing NGOs of lying... You can't make it up! 😂

..it it totally irrelevant from a #GDPR perspective if just some or all data is used - but hey, what do they know - they are just here to accuse NGOs of false statements.. 😉 But what is even more amazing is the self-perception vs. the way these PR firms act. If you look at..

Obviously you can either go against governments - or their client. You can't do both or have other NGOs focus on the government. Not thinkable. To top it, they decide to accuse an NGO of pushing "inaccurate" statements. Now nothing about our statement is "inaccurate", because..

I am always happy when PR people from @Meta get quoted 1:1 (or we get the personal attacks forwarded by journalists). This is a special beauty: @Meta's German PR bulldog (@segmenta_com) says instead of enforcing the #GDPR on companies we should rather go against governments.

Die #CRIF hat die Daten von Millionen Leuten in 🇦🇹 gesammelt - und vielen Leuten einen "Score" zugewiesen nur anhand von Anschrift, Alter und Geschlecht. Handyanbieter oder Banken nutzen diesen "Score". Wir wollen Licht ins Dunkle bringen. Mach mit: https://t.co/0UiWL8NKtH!
