Other privacy news you may have missed this past week…

Posted on June 2, 2020 by pogowasright.org

With so much understandable coverage of protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by a now-former police officer, many of us didn’t keep up with a lot of other news last week.  Here are some of the headlines that Joe Cadillic compiled for the week:

Worse, some public authorities have grossly misused the GDPR to undermine other fundamental rights such as the right to free expression and freedom of the press.”
