After a successful and exciting week in Seoul at #GPA47, it is time to look ahead. Next year’s Global Privacy Assembly #GPA48 will take place in Dubai, from 7-11 December 2026. The year after, #GPA49 will take place in Kenya.

Today marks the end of WWII in Indonesia. During the memorial tonight, I will observe two minutes of silence for my ancestors, and for all those others who spent the war in Japanese internment camps.

Wat een bizarre reactie van de Nederlandse minister van Defensie. De aanvallen van Israël en de VS op Iran zijn volledig in strijd met internationaal recht, dus kunnen nooit worden vergoelijkt.

Vanavond in Oude Wetering voor de boekpresentatie van @locuta.bsky.social. Ik betwijfel of ik er vrolijk van word, maar ben wel benieuwd naar het boek! #Trump #100dagen

Last night I rewatched The Darkest Hour, about Winston Churchill. The final quote on screen seems very fitting for the chaos in the German Bundestag today... #Merz

The Museum of Art in The Hague has a beautiful exposition on New Paris. The changes in the city in the 1860s, led by Haussmann, but visualised by the impressionists and early photographers. Well worth a visit!

Kom op Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, niet zo voorzichtig. Bij dit soort ontdekkingen kun je echt wel meer doen dan een procedureel antwoord geven!

First trip of the year. Off to Maastricht to teach another data protection course @lawinmaastricht.bsky.social, and looking forward as usual!

(And @igrobrien.seriousprivacy.eu will appreciate the sartorial joke)

Nou @partijnsc.bsky.social, laat maar eens zien hoeveel de rechtstaat jullie waard is. De toets van de Raad van State afdoel als 'maar een advies' is natuurlijk volstrekte onzin.

What an amazing evening with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra @concertgborkest.bsky.social and violinist Janine Jansen at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw: Britten’s violin concerto and Schubert’s 2nd Symphony. The energy of conductor Klaus Mäkelä gives so much joy!

Higgins is too busy unwrapping a gift to say hi… 🐾

Misschien moet u eerst het artikel lezen. Het antwoord van De Graaf is aanzienlijk genuanceerder dan de kop.

Wow. This was spectacular! #Wicked

It was for sure!

After storm and rain earlier this week, it’s a beautiful day for a train trip. Off to Maastricht for the ECPC graduation ceremony! #WherePrivacyBringsYou

Jersey knows @missiggeek.bsky.social was here. A new mural has appeared in the Waterfront Tunnel.

Good evening Jersey! 🇯🇪 Always good to be back. #WherePrivacyBringsYou

Higgins would approve. Although he would probably like you even more if you would also brings some treats.

Goodmorning! Woke up thinking back about the amazing trip to Amboseli 🇰🇪 last month.
