Nächste Woche wird es im Europäischen Datenschutzausschuss spannend: Abstimmung über die „Opinion“ des Ausschusses zu einigen grundsätzlichen Fragen zu „Pay or Consent“ bei großen Plattformen.

Und noch einmal: Aus meiner persönlichen Sicht ist das, was Meta anbietet, noch nicht einmal „Pay or Consent“, weil die Daten ja auch bei „Pay“ weiter gesammelt werden

Today @ulrichkelber presents the Data Protection Report 2023. @Bundesregierung fails to agree on his successor.
Together with digital civil society, the @fsfe is therefore calling in an open letter:
