Why #GDPR has so little effect on #BigTech. Case 34,276:
"The Luxembourg courts have annulled a €746 million fine leveled against #Amazon by the country’s privacy regulator.
The court said that the data protection authority (#CNPD) failed to properly analyze Amazon’s “degree of fault” relating to certain #privacy breaches.
The court did confirm “the essence of the violations of the GDPR” that were identified by the CNPD, but noted that “these have now been resolved.” 😭

The German film festival #Berlinale is abolishing itself. After this year's jury president #WimWenders claimed films should not be political (and importantly not criticise #Israel or call out #genocide), the German gov now wants to fire festival director #TriciaTuttle.
Because award-winner Abdallah #Alkhatib has criticised #Germany & "abused" his speech for "political destruction" (whatever that is).

Here are 7 awesome (new or newish) features in @signalapp@mastodon.world many users seem to have missed but will probably want to use.
(Some of them I think are only available on Android at the moment?)
A quick thread 🧵
(Note: If you're triggered to comment on centralisation, AWS, Google Push, or believe that Signal is secretly run by the CIA, no need to reply. We know you're there and appreciate you.)

#EU: “It’s very clear that Europe is having our #independence moment, (...) during the last year, everybody has really realized how important it is that we are not dependent on one country or one company when it comes to some very critical technologies.”
Also #EU: We're pressing ahead with talks to grant United States border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data, despite growing concerns about #American #surveillance. 🤦🏼♂️

In the name of fighting #crime and #terrorism, EU law already requires mandatory #police surveillance of international air travel.
EU governments are now considering #surveillance of all other modes of transport, in particular maritime travel.

Mmmm, let's see if this wonderful #PrivacyCamp25 panel with @parismarx@mastodon.online, @alexandrageese@bonn.social, Zuzanna Warso, @eliza@chaos.social and @Ambersinha@mastodon.social is able to deconstruct the sadly dominant #Eurostack / #BuyEuropean narrative...
