‘Personal data’ is not a static bucket category that data either stays inside or remains outside of in a fixed position. ‘Personal data’ is a dynamic , context-based attribute tag, and the sooner people wrap their heads around this fact, the safer we all can be

“Your data” as a concept is specious and intellectually lazy, and it allows the concept of privacy to be weaponized / exploited.

Facebook's new opt-out form is very hard to find. After a lot of digging and several preliminary clicks, I ended up here. I'm now going to live-tweet the process of objecting to Meta's ad-targeting. This is pretty niche stuff. So if you're interested, I like you. 🧵

During the negotiations about the #GDPR I warned that the One Stop Shop mechanism was a bad idea to regulate #BigTech. But the European decision makers didn’t want a pan-European regulator. So they should criticize themselves, not @DPCIreland. irishtimes.com/politics/oirea… #privacy

This is not a trade law. It did not appear in response to US tech companies. It is a response to Europe’s terrible 20th C experiences of misuse of personal data. A US lack of historical understanding as to where the GDPR comes from is not uncommon, but always unforgivable.
