  🤖 Will the profits of #AI companies trump data protection? In a #leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to #EU Member States that, if they train or use an AI product, companies should automatically be assumed to have an overriding “legitimate interest”. 💬 #Schrems: "This complete sell-off of European data would also result in a large amount of know-how flowing to the US or China. From an industrial policy perspective, such an approach is madness." 👉 Read more: https://noyb.eu...

  🚨 Complaint filed: the online dictionary dict.cc tries to nudge users into consenting to online tracking by 1,741 (!) “partners” with a single click. 👉 This makes it impossible for users to know exactly who has access to their data and how it is actually used. However, the GDPR requires that consent is freely given, informed, specific and unambiguous. https://noyb.eu/en/1741-informed-consents-one-click-gdpr-complaint-against-dictcc-filed

  🍪🚫 It's time to kill the cookie banner – and end the endless tracking circus! ⏮️ You may think that EU privacy law requires cookie banners. But the law is clear: online tracking is prohibited by default. 👋⚖️ Therefore, the tracking industry needs you to waive your rights. That’s why they invented cookie banners, which often are deliberately misleading as well as annoying.

  🍪 There's one thing we can all agree on: we're fed up with misleading cookie banners. 🚫 And we finally have a chance to get rid of them! 💡 The solution? Simple! Express your privacy preferences once, for example via your browser or device, and have them respected permanently. 📃 A proposal to end this tracking circus is currently on the table of EU lawmakers – and could easily simplify things for everyone in the European Union. ➡️ https://killthecookiebanner.eu/

  🇦🇹👤 #CRIF is one of the largest credit reference agencies in #Austria. It has built up a largely unknown ‘shadow registry’ and use this data to assign credit scores. However, for 90% of those affected, the score is based primarily only on address, gender and age. ❌ We are convinced that this unwarranted data collection and the scoring of those 90% violates the #GDPR. We are therefore bringing an injunction and a class action for damages. To sign up, go to https://crif.noyb.eu! 🤝
