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.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, the EU will likely reach political agreement to make cross-border #GDPR procedures not better - but more complex and slower. In German: #Verschlimmbesserung.. 😣 https://t.co/vfwzrTpLi6

How should the #EU react to #Trump's attacks on Europe as a regulatory power? I thought Max Schrems @maxschrems was the right person to ask: he challenged #BigTech & he won. "But it wasn't enough. The EU Commission lacks strategic thinking". Interview🗞️ https://t.co/LMGtmltX3j
