Omnibus Legislation and EU Regulatory Reform: Between Efficiency and Constitutional Integrity A special Issue of the European Journal of Risk Regulation - Call for Papers www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Two years into Europe’s Digital Services Act, data access for researchers is on life support, write Mark Scott and LK Seiling. Yet an alternative future is possible—one built on openness, interoperability, and platforms that treat data access as a civic and scientific good.

We filled a complaint against Ireland to the European Commission today. Ireland has appointed an ex-Meta lobbyist as its new Data Protection Commissioner. This will be interpreted by the tech industry as a signal of impunity. The European Commission must intervene. www.iccl.ie/digital-data...

Both TikTok and Meta are breaching the DSA, according to EU Commission. The platforms are not transparent enough with their data for research use, and Meta makes reporting illegal content and appealing moderation decisions too difficult.

One of the most interesting tropes I found when doing my phd research on the enforcement of the gdpr was when I was going through old papers and books published around the time the 1995 Data Protection Directive had been introduced. 🧵

Together with Ksenia Mironova we shared our experiences and had a few suggestions on how to survive Trump

The European Commission has formally withdrawn proposals on AI Liability and Standard Essential Patents (SEP), despite some resistance from lawmakers and member states. More here: www.euronews.com/next/2025/07...

And it's out! With Sophia Hassel, we gathered key #GDPR enforcement developments in the recent years - now out in the EU Law Live weekend edition. For the final version, we updated the preprint with a brief commentary on the finalised text of the GDPR Procedural Harmonisation.

Good news everyone! The Irish Minister for Justice has announced he is going to pass legislation requiring tech companies (who mostly live in Ireland for EU purposes) to break all their encrypted messaging systems. www.q102.ie/news/q102-ne...

I just read the finalised version of the #GDPR Procedural Harmonisation (as shared on LinkedIn by @montezumachavez.bsky.social ) and it's... not that bad, actually? The deadlines are certainly a good addition (however, without really any consequences for overstepping them); the infamous

New poll shows huge majorities of Europeans--74% of Von Der Leyen's own CDU--want a tough stance on Big Tech. This is no time to roll over. Tech is vital infrastructure, and it can be ours again--with a three-part play: Break, build, enforce. w/ @robin.berjon.com: www.politico.eu/article/digi...

I wrote about a new book by Sylwia Czubkowska about Big Tech, Brussels bubble, lobbying in politics and academia, that covers faces and stories that many of you are more than familiar with. For now, available only in Polish, but I hope one day you will be able to read this in English.

The US Embassy in Warsaw just issued this announcement - every person who wants to be considered for a visa (esp. F, M and J) needs to change their settings to public on all their social media accounts. YES, THIS IS COMING FROM THEIR OFFICIAL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS I would love this to be a joke.

reading today #books

Ian Brown, Douwe Korff and I sent an open letter to Ursula von der Leyen asking her to pause and correct what looks like a Brussels stitch-up. The EDPS oversees all EU institutions to make sure they follow data protection law, but its new head may be hired from a flawed selection process, that 1/2

And here, in the face of non-believers - the agreement on #GDPR procedural harmonisation has been reached www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

Next was a great panel on effective remedies for AI-induced harms with Laura Lázaro Cabrera, Rocco Saverino, @mariamagierska.bsky.social, Thomas Zerdick, and Itxaso Domínguez de Olazábal. at @cpdpconferences.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDtF... (12/13)

My fav session at #CPDP25 this far is happening now: How dystopian sci-fi books have been misread by tech bros and fueled their tech visions of the future

We had so much fun on the Computers, Privacy and Data Protection book club/workshop session, and such a great turnout for talking about literature in the morning!

my plans for this week but it’s three different aesthetics see you in Brussels 👋 #cpdp #icons

A reminder about this cool event tomorrow, 8.45 am during the CPDP 📚

Join us for the creative literary session next Thursday morning at the #CPDP! We will discuss the books that were supposed to be a warning but ended up being an instruction, and we will try to figure out the ways to design alternative stories and policies. 💫

The Federation of German Consumer Organisations (Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband) is now initiating collective legal action against Meta regarding a data breach, which took place couple of years ago. www.vzbv.de/en/facebook-...

"The DPC said TikTok disclosed in April that European user data had been stored on servers in China — contradicting earlier evidence it sent to the regulator."

if you are curious what this ominous 'monk and robot' event at the CPDP is, stay tuned for more 📚

But really, this is IMPORTANT - read and share

Hope you didn’t miss that: we have time until the end of May to object to data processing for AI training by Meta datenschutz-hamburg.de/news/meta-st...

any news on how is it going? www.euractiv.com/section/tech...

best feedback 😭😭😭

CJEU, new cases, data protection law Does a lapsed Catholic have a right under the GDPR to change the data in the baptism register? eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...

interesting take on Deldits case - what strikes me: the court relied on "the right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data expressed in Arti. 8", but did not invoke Art. 7, as if reading data protection as a special category of privacy? www.europeanlawblog.eu/pub/gkdar607...

I'm back in Italy this month for a self-imposed writing retreat to wrap up all the loose ends. While I'll be mainly in Lucca and shut away from any distractions, I plan to visit the EUI occasionally. Let me know if you are around to catch up ☕

One can’t suffer from boredom in this field eh

🤔 What's the past, present, and future of European data law (beyond data protection law)? I look forward to discussing this question with the participants of this year's Academy of European Law summer course @eui-eu.bsky.social. The deadline to sign-up is April 4: www.eui.eu/news-hub?id=...

Very grateful for Minister Bodnar’s kind invitation 🤓
