#Tag · A small Bonfire corner on the internet

@osma Hm that may well be the case. But the question is: is it correct that Linkedin collects this personal information and use it that way? If yes, I don't mind so much the reasons for why people found out...

@osma @whvholst Thanks for jumping in. After some more reading I've removed the link to the #BrowserGate website from my original post to not give more air to their overblown claims (while also keeping the point about #DMA enforcement).

I'd rather have people read @rysiek's thread about it:

It's quite damning that the folks behind the #BrowserGate investigation about #LinkedIn's hidden data theft programme have opted to sue #Microsoft in court for #DMA infringement rather than submitting a complaint for public enforcement to the @EUCommission.

It looks like they have little trust in the EU Commission to do that job quickly and effectively enough. 🤷‍♂️

✊🏾 The strict enforcement of EU’s tech laws is not up for negotiation!

Yesterday, the @EUCommission confirmed plans to open a new “formal dialogue” with the 🇺🇸 gov on EU tech law enforcement. Framed as cooperation, this could create a backdoor for Big Tech to weaken EU'slandmark rules.

The #DSA, #DMA, #AIAct & #GDPR exist to protect people, safeguard democracy & rein in Big Tech. If the Commission seeks enforcement dialogue, it should do so with the people in & public interest groups.

The @EUCommission announced it is exploring a new EU-US “dialogue” on digital rules, as Washington piles on the pressure over how the EU enforces its tech laws.

“If confirmed, this is nothing short of complete capitulation to the #Trump admin’s coercive tactics,” said #Greens MEP @SLagodinsky.

“No need to do this,” said liberal MEP Sandro Gozi. “The Commission must implement the #DSA + #DMA, not discuss them with the US. It’s a clear attempt to slow down implementation and weaken enforcement.”
