In our latest issue we cover the great nary-uncrumbling, and an important debate about whether a temporary loss of system availability is a ~personal~ data breach. There's much to unpack on both issues and I hope our limited space did them (and those quoted) justice.

News UK just closed applications for its head of consent role. If you missed out, no need to worry — chances are, similar opportunities will come up again in the future. After all, consent is no longer just a box to tick for ad dollars. Data #privacy laws and platform responses on both sides of the Atlantic have made sure of that. Hiring a head of consent at News U.K. is just the latest move in a series of responses to this shift. #dataprivacy In this piece by Seb Joseph, we speak to Ross Webster of Lucid Privacy Group, Matthew Rance and Mario Lamaa of Immediate, and Alessandro De Zanche of ADZ Strategies.

What's the Difference Between Me(ta) and You.  (With apologies to Dr. Dre…) The European Commission has announced its preliminary findings against Meta under the Digital Markets Act. Following the lead of the EDPB, the bloc’s competition cop found that Meta's ‘Consent or Pay’ model (1) abuses the giant’s dominant position, and (2) does not offer its users a fair alternative to behaviorally targeted ads to its users. Although directed at Meta and other ‘Large Online Platforms’, the ruling sends a rightful shiver down the spines of popular content publishers. Am I a ‘large’ platform too? Is my use of CoP compliant? Should I speak up? As things stand today, only one of these questions has a clear answer. #raiseyourhand #DMA #meta #consentorpay Subscribe to weekly privacy news at https://lucidprivacy.io/
