Happy this is finally out in #CLSR 🎉 I argue that Apple’s App Tracking Transparency reduces certain privacy risks, but also lets a powerful platform like Apple redefine key privacy concepts like tracking, reinforcing walled gardens and reshaping the mobile ecosystem 📱 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.cl...

Wir haben mit den #DatabrokerFiles einen riesigen Markt für illegale Daten aus der Online-Werbeindustrie aufgedeckt. Eine Frage konnten wir bisher nicht beantworten: Kaufen auch deutsche Sicherheitsbehörden solche Daten? Transparenz darüber verweigert die Bundesregierung nun selbst dem Parlament. 1/

Kann mehr Aufsicht schaden? @jgambato.bsky.social, @ganglmair.bsky.social und @juliakraemer.bsky.social zeigen in #ZEW DP 25-050: #Unternehmen priorisieren leicht kontrollierbare Vorgaben. Dies kann die Einhaltung von Regeln erschweren, die schwieriger durchzusetzen sind. www.zew.de/PU95685/?twt=1

🚨NEW WORKING PAPER 🚨 Can more resources for regulators improve firms' compliance? @jgambato.bsky.social @juliakraemer.bsky.social & I demonstrate how expanding regulators' resources can backfire when the success of detecting firms' noncompliance varies for different regulatory targets. 1/4

💻⚖️ Great time at the #Lawtomation Conference at @ieuniversity.bsky.social in Madrid - presented parts of my PhD on #mHealth app store governance, exploring how app store rules align with the #GDPR and how apps comply. Also joined a panel on #interoperability across EU frameworks! 🌐

📘 I am happy to share my latest publication “EU Data Protection Law in Action – Introducing the GDPR” This chapter describes data protection law to non-legal audiences and explores how GDPR provisions have been studied through empirical research ⚖️📊 🔗 www.nomos-elibrary.de/de/10.5771/9...

📱🛡️ Can app stores help enforce data protection law and tackle the problem of mobile tracking? In a new blogpost published by The Digital Constitutionalist, I explore the potential (and limits) of app stores as privacy regulators 👇 🔗 digi-con.org/regulating-t...

If we want better compliance (with the rules in place), giving regulators more resources is one way to get there (yes, good regulation is costly). Check out this 10-minute video with findings from a large-scale study using German firm-level data lt.org/publication/... #gdpr #EconSky #regulation
