Conscious I know practically nothing while playing around with GDPR obligations for some years, in digital. Started “cookie” scans in 2009. Recovering dataholic, acutely aware of KPI limitations yet persuasive powers. Optimistic EU humanist, bridge builder

I profoundly dislike this new wave of uncertainty! It’s already tough to ask lawyers to step up in #Media today 🤬 However this will look like when the ink is once again dry, the amount of disinformation we’ll have to sift through to define risk & mitigating measures has already risen 📈 #ePrivacy
There is a very large loophole in that controllers claiming to be "media organisation" would not be required to respect the signal, so data subjects would not have the right to refuse their online activity being processed for behavioural advertising purposes (paragraph 3).

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights.
The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system.
