European companies expanding into Brazil often assume GDPR compliance transfers directly.
LGPD shares core principles with GDPR — but enforcement by Brazil’s ANPD is still evolving, and practical expectations differ.
Key areas to recalibrate:
• Cross-border data transfers
• Consent interpretation
• Vendor governance practices
• Local regulatory culture
The goal isn’t rebuilding your privacy program — it’s adapting it for Brazilian realities.
The UK government has blamed legacy IT systems for data breaches.
They've admitted there were 48 legacy systems that formed the basis for the eVisa scheme.
Despite warnings, the Home Office has refused to slow down, stop and revise this system. This can't go on.

The failings of the UK Home Office to manage the eVisa system have caused real world damage to people's lives.
This requires the Information Commissioner’s Office to uphold data protection – which, as yet, they haven't done.

Do you check what data your fellows users are pasting into <LLM> ?
Some would say,
"How is it different from pasting into Google ?"
Mmh, I think you haven't seen how users are using LLMs.
"Well, how is it different than using a SaaS for documentation/KB/code/assets"
True, how did you allow that in first place?
Ireland launches a data protection probe into Grok’s deepfakes.
The “large-scale inquiry” is on behalf of the European Union and will probe whether the AI tool breached the bloc’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) said in a statement.
Ireland is taking the lead on the investigation since X’s European operations are headquartered in Dublin.

ORG calls on the UK government, ICO and Ofcom to establish compulsory privacy and security standards for age verification providers.
This is critical to protect users’ sensitive data as this unregulated industry grows more powerful with each attempt to treat the symptom, not the cause of online harms.

An amendment to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill would give UK Ministers the power to enact a social media ban on under-16s.
This would bypass Parliament and any democratic oversight on a measure that could only work by having everyone prove their age.
Our rights cannot be an afterthought.
#ageverification #privacy #dataprotection #ukpolitics #ukpol #socialmedia
We have no choice, no voice over a privacy intrusive system that's being embedded into everyday Internet use.
It's the platforms that decide on the age verificationprovider.
Users are unaware of the investors behind these companies or the links to wider surveillance, online advertising and intelligence networks.
