PrivacyPod #8: NOYB Wants It That Way

Aug 18, 2021

The trio is back together after a summer break! Can’t say fresher than ever, but at least we are back. As per usual, big tech is providing lots to discuss in the field of privacy: we cover Apple’s controversial plans to prevent CSAM, Luxembourg DPA’s record GDPR fine against Amazon and Google’s new child friendly measures in image search. We have a new jingle for NOYB-related news, because it seems there is something new coming from their direction on a weekly basis now. Panu tries to launch the concept of correction corner, the others are not huge fans of this idea.
