@dch If you have #gdpr rights, they have 30 days to comply or they’re in breech (I believe they can extend it another 30 days under certain circumstances).

They’ve already been reprimanded and possibly fined for that in Ireland, I believe.

@datn I’m trying out the service provided by Your Digital Rights:

yourdigitalrights.org/d/twitte…

It creates an email similar to the one in the screenshot for your and they also apparently tell you when to follow up, etc.

“EU GDPR enforcement against Big Tech is paralysed by Ireland’s failure to deliver draft decisions on cross-border cases. Ireland’s failure to uphold the GDPR has allowed surveillance to remain the default business model of the digital world.”

IAB Europe’s consent popups are unlawful

“IAB Europe ‘was aware of risks linked to non-compliance’ and ‘was negligent.’”

IAB Europe is the online advertising industry’s (aka adtech aka the folks I call “people farmers” trade body)

GDPR enforcer rules that IAB Europe’s consent popups are unlawful

EU data protection authorities find that the consent popups that plagued Europeans for years are illegal. All data collected through them must be deleted. This decision impacts Google’s, Amazon’s and Microsoft’s online advertising businesses.

"LfDI expects schools to offer pupils alternatives to the MS365 #cloud service for #school operations by the summer vacations in 2022.

From the coming school year, the use of MS 365 at schools must be terminated or its data protection-compliant operation must be clearly demonstrated by the responsible schools."

This is how the SA of Baden-Württemberg starts its press release stating that M365 is not #GDPR compliant and it must be discontinued.
