PrivacyPod

How does that work? ) What is happening in the USA… (DOGE access to personal data, Palantir, migrant children’s data collected in data banks…Privacy and Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) in crisis?) …and should folks in the EU be taking steps to prepare for the fall of DPF and...

#73: If you want something different, do it yourself
PrivacyPod
In this episode Jyri and Pilvi try to overcome their urge to discuss anything else but privacy and just be negative and tired of how the world is going, and after a while they actually somewhat succeed in that–or perhaps succeed is a bit of a strong word. In any case, we discuss the current world politics situation and how it might affect the DPF and data transfers to China, not to mention that Latombe I had its day in court. The political situation might also affect the coming GDPR revamp, but in which way? We also discuss the following cases: Meta’s and X’s decisions to teach...

Not to worry, we don’t want to cause extra heartbeats this early in the year by speculating if the DPF will stand through this new orange era of madn…interesting times, but it is absolutely the right time to take a look at China. We start with discussing the drama regarding TikTok and where we are with that and continue with the news that shook the markets and tech world: DeepSeek. Both cases are closely related to...

Oh well, you are very welcome to join the ride with Laura and Pilvi when they discuss consent or pay -models with Filip Sedefov. What is the topic really about?

#67: If you are not paying for the lunch, you are the lunch
PrivacyPod
Are you googling me? Stop googling me, Jyri! In this episode Jyri, Pilvi, and Milla take a look at the latest interesting privacy news. The repertoire includes discussion on what happens when regulation is 20 years late (=personalized ads and privacy issues) in the form of LinkedIn’s 310 million euro fine and NOYB’s Pinterest complaint.

Do listen in for some...
info_outlineTake a tight grip on your cups listeners, because today we are spilling the hottest tea of the legal world, a behind the scenes story of the AI Act. We delve into this with a person who had the front seat at the closed-door tea party: Dan Nechita, the Head of Cabinet to Romanian MEP Dragos Tudorache (Renew Europe) at the European Parliament. Dragos Tudorache has served as a rapporteur on the file.
Renew Europe is liberal, pro-European political group of the European Parliament founded for the ninth European Parliament term. The group is the successor to the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) group which existed during the sixth, seventh and eighth terms from 2004 to 2019. Renew Europe has been pushing for AI systems that respect fundamental rights and the EU's democratic values, provide legal certainty concerning innovation and investment, and facilitate the development of a single market for lawful and safe AI.
Dan takes us to the room where it all happened and talks about what transpired during the all-nighter negotiations in December. He also sheds light on the background of the AI Act and whether or not we can breath already or will there be more changes. We try to guess why did the AI Act leak as well as what happened to the General Purpose AI, and if the Fundamental Rights Risk Assessments is just a DPIA that slays.
We also discuss whether the legislators understand how expensive this will be for the organizations: is it a case of because you’re worth it…or because they can afford it?
...And Milla and Pilvi totally forgot that this was our 50. podcast. Oh well, we will celebrate at 100 then.
