@EU_Commission

The problem is that I'm not under the impression that all those who should in the Commission care about the implementation at all. E.g. Thierry Breton.

Furthermore, many tech companies don't give a shit and the most often responsible Irish authorities don't give one either.
If they act, it's almost always because other MS authorities push them or people like Max Schrems successfully sues.

That must change.

@EU_Commission what we need is to forbid the treatment of tracking data as a currency. Half the websites nowadays blackmail you into consenting to tracking or paying. Yes you can make a subscribers-only website, but no, forfeiting my right to privacy should not be a payment option.
If I go buy bread and the baker says "take off your clothes and this one is for free", that's not okay. This is similar.

@EU_Commission The possibility to refuse every kind of AI data mining.

@EU_Commission GDPR rules are sensible, but the implementation, particularly involving US companies to store that consent, has wrecked the usability of the web.

@EU_Commission
It might help your respondents if GDPR was actually enforced - but it’s not
Seemingly a feature, not a bug, of this commission, which might possibly surprise someone

@EU_Commission please have a word with these two https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68094059

@EU_Commission From a private citizen's viewpoint #GDPR is great, but it sure made linguistic research difficult! Nowadays it's next to impossible to collect speech data as it was used to from the late 1800's right up to GDPR.

@EU_Commission
Please stop the transatlantic sharing, they can't keep their own secrets safe...

PS: only a few months remaining to correct all the mistakes :/

@EU_Commission

I would love not to be forced to use US proprietary platforms (Android/GPlay, Apple, MS, Amazon ...) to access any digital service (transport, banking, digital identity ...) in the EU

Please give us back digital sovereignty

@EU_Commission tracking consent is nonsense. You can't consent to give up your right to privacy. Tracking and sale of data should just be banned outright.

@EU_Commission No. Not for social networks, and without committing an offence (regarding laws). All they have to do is decide that "the right to deletion of personal data is described in Article 17 of the GDPR. This right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances." That is, in the circumstances they (themselves) choose. So they just block the account, which we can't have deleted.
GDPR if they want, no right.

@EU_Commission Poor choises. 😕

@EU_Commission Please also for our chat histories!

@EU_Commission none of these: instead I want stronger laws limiting the usage of data brokers & stricter terms for what "legitimate interest" means for cookies & third-parties: I regularly see websites with hundreds of "legitimate interest" "partners" – there's no way that's being responsible with my data.

Also making one-click opt-out of non-functional cookies mandatory: many sites lack this.

@EU_Commission "You are in control of the data you share. Full stop."

😂 Yeah, ehrm, not really. Data brokerage, Web tracking, manipulative cookie banners, opt-out features in smartphones, corporate social media deemed necessary to find jobs etc., scoring-bullshit like SCHUFA, TOS of almost unavoidable services ("Gatekeepers") that still collect data en mass and last but lot least YOU (with all yoir chatcontrol and total surveillance fantasies) completely and utterly invalidate your statement.
