#DataPrivacy

Visa applications involve passports, photographs, fingerprints and other sensitive information. Before outsourcing this process, Luxembourg should be able to demonstrate exactly how that data is protected. 🔐 #DataPrivacy #GDPR #ForeignAffairs #VisaProcessing #DataPrivacy #VisaProcessing #GDPR #LU

You hand VFS Global your passport, photo and fingerprints. Apparently the next question is: "And who else would you like us to share those with?" 👀 #DataPrivacy #GDPR #ForeignAffairs #VisaProcessing #DataPrivacy #GDPR #VisaProcessing #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweetyouprovided.Thus #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Neuvěřitelný - Google koupil od zbankrotovaných Spirit Airlines data pro trénink AI za 10mil USD: 100 mil emailů, 500mil Teams chatů, záznamy o 175 000 zaměstnancích od roku 1986 a 30mil řádků. 🤯 https://t.co/G2ejTFaUHS #Google #AI #DataPrivacy

Visa applicants should know exactly where their personal data goes. VFS Global's data notices appear to allow broader transfers than the Luxembourg government's assurances suggest. That deserves answers. 🤔 #DataPrivacy #GDPR #ForeignAffairs #VisaProcessing #DataPrivacy #GDPR #VisaProcessing #LU

France is considered a digital sieve due to its vulnerability to cyberattacks, ranking second in the world for the number of affected accounts and first in Europe, with 43.4 million compromised accounts in the first half of 2026, mainly in the public administration sector. (translated)

Piratage du fisc : « Passoire numérique »… La France est-elle plus vulnérable que les autres pays européens ?

AI backlash is only getting started — AI is unpopular and climbing up the political agenda. The fiercest fights so far have been in US, where protests against data centres have scuppered $100bn-worth of projects, and 40% want AI banned from most industries https://t.co/3kGYnCvS7O #AIBacklash #DataPrivacy #TechPolicy #US

If a parking system traps drivers behind a barrier during a technical failure, there must be clear emergency procedures. Technology should never leave people stranded. #TicketlessParking #DataPrivacy #GDPR #Mobility #TicketlessParking #Mobility #EmergencyProcedures #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.

If personal data crosses borders, legal protections must too. I've asked the government how any future EU-US agreement would comply with the GDPR, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and European case law. ⚖️🤔 #DataPrivacy #GDPR #VisaWaiver #CivilLiberties #EBSP #DataPrivacy #GDPR #CivilLiberties #EU #US

Anything to declare? Apparently... all my personal data. 🙄 (translated)

A leaked EU-US draft raises concerns about broader access to biometric data under the Visa Waiver Program. Before any agreement moves forward, we need answers on privacy, GDPR compliance, and democratic oversight. 🇱🇺📋 #DataPrivacy #GDPR #VisaWaiver #CivilLiberties #EBSP #DataPrivacy #GDPR #VisaWaiver #LU

In AML (anti-money laundering) at Czech banks, you have certainly encountered it. Today, I went through the same at a US bank. The same detail, the same questions. What shocked me was that they knew all my employers and political exposure in the Czech Republic. Evidently, data is exchanged in AML between the EU and the USA. (translated)

A few simple questions: 1. Is this age verification data hackable? The track record of government-run databases suggests it absolutely is. 2. Do you think having more identity gatekeeping on social media, overseen by EU or national governments, will make you safer? Or more #AgeVerification #DataPrivacy #SocialMediaSafety #EU

A massive scandal: 13 years after @snowden's sacrifice, the @EUparliament approves the most authoritarian law on #MassSurveillance: #ChatControl Meanwhile @EUCouncil is secretly negotiating #EBSP to hand over our data to #ICE and #DHS https://t.co/Z84YHZnXwx #MassSurveillance #ChatControl #DataPrivacy #EU #US

Corporations stealing our data "for greater good" is what you'd expect. But when the govermnet officials want to do the same, it's crossing a line. What does this say about copyright? #DataPrivacy #Copyright #GovernmentSurveillance #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

100% this. You can argue all you want that AI is useful, but the truth is that you’re giving these companies all your data willingly for them to train the AI on. They promised not to? Good thing they never took anyone’s data without consent. The courts would never allow this. #AIethics #DataPrivacy #Consent #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

Imagine explaining to your grandparents that your fingerprints are being processed by a company registered in one country, operating in another, owned through a third, and storing data in a fourth. 😵‍💫 #VisaOutsourcing #DataPrivacy #DigitalEra #TechConfusion #USA #UK #CA #DE
