In its judgment, the General Court of the European Union strengthened the conciliation and regulatory powers of the European Data Protection Board.

"The DPC will have to continue its investigations into Meta unless it chooses to refer the matter to the European Court of Justice. Given the timeline of the original investigation, which began in 2018, it may still take several years before a final determination is made regarding the GDPR compliance of Meta’s business model, particularly in relation to behavioural advertising."

:-) Welcome in the #Fediverse!

There are lots of unacademic discussions on #contentModeration and #networkPolitics too!

You may subscribe to #philosophy (icon at top right).

#Welcome to #immigrants!
You may worry that your conversation suddenly is cut off from the rest of the #Fediverse.
I like to offer solutions:
- register an account at an instance likely to stay federated: https://mastodon.help/instances/en?lang=112&desc=&minu=800&maxu=80000&minau=800&minki=8000&black=1&creg=1&appr=0&lcok=0&ord=rand&advc=1&p=1
- and go to your #MastoAdmin and ask them to improve on #moderation #guidelines.

You'll have plenty of consultancy work:
1. #GDPR compliance applies to all Web servers.
2. #Mastodon lacks #GDPR compliance by design.

I have a hint that a conversation on the #governance of #Mastodon flavours would be useful. Here is a #longThread 🧶
Let us talk about the struggle between creator and #community. This time we include newly arrived people.
I will propose how to alleviate with shortcuts.
