Today's the big day! @FTC is hosting their workshop on portability. I'll be live tweeting my thoughts and appropriately warm takes during most of the day, so stick around! We (@Facebook) submitted our comments to @FTC on #dataportability last month. I'll be weaving our thoughts from those comments into my takes on today's session

Should I do a Twitter thread on the European Court of Justice's #PrivacyShield ruling in #SchremsII? Seems like a good thing to do and honestly who doesn’t love story time? Here we go! (Caveat: just speaking for myself here)
