So you think battle over “Right to be Forgotten” is over? Think again — in its ruling, Europe’s highest court left open possibility for EU watchdogs to demand global removals, in specific circumstances. Stay tuned.
This is the point that gives EU regulators the right to demand global application of “right to be forgotten” if person’s right to privacy is deemed to take a priority

The ‘race to 5G’ is often over-simplified as a battle between China and the West. But as these stats on who’s submitting patents for tech that will run these future networks show, it’s a lot more complicated than that.

Why? Let me explain.

HT: @IPlytics
So let’s start off w/ basics. 5G isn’t one technology, but collection of different sorts of tech that make up overall new mobile standard. And companies worldwide submit patents to make up that standard — whoever has more standards included has a bigger say in how things work
So this is a cut-throat lobbying exercise, with all those involved in setting 5G standards voting on which patents should be included. You know ‘bluetooth?’ Well, that came from @ericsson & was named after viking king. Good times.

Now that a ‘No Deal’ #Brexit is looking like the most likely outcome, I would (again) bang the drum for how this is really bad news for anyone who moves data btwn the UK & EU, and vice versa.

Here’s why:
Right now, as an EU country, the UK is part of the region’s privacy regime, meaning that anyone (tech company, bank, retailer) can move data freely across the EU-28. It’s the lifeblood of the economy, particularly for professional services — something that the UK does really well
But in a no-deal scenario, that ready access is turned off overnight. No ifs, ands or buts. The UK says it’ll keep data moving from its side to the EU (yay!). But the EU says you won’t be able to move data from EU-27 to UK, unless you have special mechanisms in place

Europe now has arguably the world’s toughest #privacy rules. But a year in, Big Tech has been the major winner — and lobbying worldwide has framed Europe’s rules are overly cumbersome politi.co/2HugJs5 w/ @laurenscerulus & @StevenOverly

<<cue Twitter rant>>
So let’s start w/ the good news. One year in, 150k privacy complaints have been made under Europe’s #privacy rules, a marked increase vs previous years. But (and it’s a big but) very few companies have been fined, most notably @google in France w/ its €50m penalty
That doesn’t mean fines = success. It’s fair to say that companies now take data protection more seriously, and that national EU regulators *are* building cases against potential abuse.

THREAD..

..on the biggest and baddest lobbyists in EU town

..the huge influence they have on EU lawmaking

..and how many represent interests from outside the EU.

/1
According to Transparency International @TI_EU, the lobby organisation that has held the most high-level meetings at the European Commission between 2014 and 2018 is @BusinessEurope.

"BusinessEurope?!?" you ask.

/2
@TI_EU @BusinessEurope It is hardly surprising that the vast majority of people have never heard of BusinessEurope.

There is a worrying media blackout about how a complex network of organisations lobby the #EU on behalf of the world largest corporations.

@CapitalJon @PaulGambles2 @AlastairWinter @Halsrethink @dlacalle_IA @OBrienSheehan @chloechotv 1. #EU-#Europe before 2000 was OK: Open borders within #EU for EU-citizens, people can live & work (and study) in all EU states (so take great care who joins - went too fast too far East). The seed of destruction came with the #EURO.
@CapitalJon @PaulGambles2 @AlastairWinter @Halsrethink @dlacalle_IA @OBrienSheehan @chloechotv 2. More centralization & #Merkel's #RefugeesWelcome (with the will to enforce mass-#migration on other #EU states) introduce more toxic cancer cells into the #EU!
A common budget (#Macron) & an #EU-army would be the end of true #democracy & #freedom within #Europe!
@CapitalJon @PaulGambles2 @AlastairWinter @Halsrethink @dlacalle_IA @OBrienSheehan @chloechotv 3. The next step would be the likes of #Merkel, #Macron & #Juncker enforcing their will by first witholding money & next send the #EU-army to topple the likes of #Orban in #Hungary.

💣Espionage💣

The servers at TT & Alfa Bank, Spectrum Health & Heartland PS, were communicating via DNS look ups, sharing packet data.

‘GOP, Trump & Rick Gates are reportedly directly implicated in espionage against the US 2016 primary/Pres elex via help from a foreign power.’
💣Espionage💣

Rick Gates, the indicted Trump campaign official and Manafort aide & GOP Operative sought proposals from Psy Group an Israeli intelligence firm to run a coordinated disinfo campaign against US voters to help Trump win the primary & general elections.

.
💣Espionage3💣

Initially Psy-Group offered a social media manipulation campaign which included fake social media profiles that would attack Ted Cruz and discredit him the eyes of GOP Party delegates, who was at the time Trump’s main competitor for the GOP nomination.

three major developments over the past day demonstrate how #Europe seeks to shape the global #Internet. if you only focus on US reg, dominated by politics & not law, you’re missing a major part of the action.
