Message so far: Apps are *complementary* to other public health measures. Not a silver bullet.

"We have to consider misuses, ppl could attach phones to a dog or a drone ... could use it for immigration or policing purposes. Important we never lose sight of why we develop these apps" -- Nuria Oliver, Data-Pop alliance

"Should be open to apps, but need to acknowledge approach is young and unregulated" -- Clayton Hamilton, WHO

How do you define a "contact"? How long and how close still open debate -- Line Nerlander, ECDC #ContactTracing

Take home msgs: 1. Apps not magical solution, approach needs to be broader. 2. We have to have multidisciplinary approach, tech needs to work together with public health from "beginning to end." -- Véronique Trillet-Lenoir, MEP

Public trust is vital for apps, not just around privacy, but that they work -- Dita Charanzova, MEP #ContactTracing

On #DP3T & PEPP-PT interoperability "We don't see great way to reconcile systems without endangering privacy ... but never say never" -- Michael Veale, UCL #ContactTracing

@W_Wiewiorowski

EDPS @W_Wiewiorowski fears that if contact tracing apps don't work, more intrusive solutions will be considered like immunity passports. "This sounds very scary to me"

@EstelMP

Access Now's @EstelMP warns that "dangerous techno-solutionism" risks undermining public trust

Breaking: In decisions just out, Meta is not only on the hook for privacy fines totaling nearly €400 million, but it must also — quickly — find a new legal basis for its sprawling targeted advertising empire. 🧵

pro.politico.eu/news/158293

The decisions rebuke Meta’s claim that it could hoover up users’ data as part of a contract to provide them with personalized adverts, and leave the tech giant scratching around for another legal route to target people with advertising.

As well as potentially putting a bomb under the internet giant's business model, the cases revealed deep fissures between Europe’s data protection authorities, with the Irish initially endorsing Meta's argument before being overruled by the EU data protection body the EDPB.

@NOYBeu

Docs unearthed by @NOYBeu show that the Irish data regulator lobbied to get EU guidelines to allow social networks to bypass GDPR consent requirements to use people's data to target advertising.🧵

pro.politico.eu/news/143625

The documents show that the Irish regulator argued that companies could use data to fulfil a contract with users to provide a personalized ad-funded platform, rather than relying on consent.

The Irish view was roundly rejected by other EU data protection regulators, with one saying that it "undermines the system and spirit of the GDPR," according to the documents.

@EUCourtPress

I'm at @EUCourtPress following Facebook v Belgian DPA. At stake: the scope of the one-stop-shop (GDPR mechanism by which regulator where company has EU's base takes the lead on investigation). Stay tuned.

First up, Facebook. it argues that single point of contact is a "vital aspect" of the regulation, and that in GDPR do not apply. "The distinction that the Belgian DPA makes between administrative and legal proceeding is artificial."

Facebook counsel says any legal action brought by the regulator would have to be preceded by administrative proceedings. Says Belgian DPA's argument risk causing a "huge rise" in number of court proceedings a "judicial fragmentation" — which GDPR was supposed to end

Jim Sullivan from US dep. of commerce: "In months since [Schrems II] decision, a lack of clear guidance from EDPB, inconsistent approaches of data protection authorities, and calls for data localisation and sovereignty from within Commission have added to the uncertainty." Ouch.

Says "premature" to give timeline for new Privacy Shield, but much more limited set of issues (gov. surveillance, not commercial aspects) to negotiate than when Safe Harbor struck down

EDPB chair Andrea Jelinek hopes that extra guidance on Schrems II ready within 2 months.
