• #78: Jyri is still annoyed at (or with?) Noyb

  We are back from summer break with a bunch of positive energy (that lasted through about the first two cases). This episode was recorded by Hannes, Jyri, and Pilvi on the historical day of data transfer anticlimax, despite all the LinkedIn posts preparing to sell you more legal advice. So, in this episode, we cover: The Latombe I that was not meant to be (insert violins and a slow dramatic tear). The court said nothing to see here, move on. Nevertheless, we have opinions. Austria’s Data Protection Authority took five and a half years to order YouTube to give people access to their personal data. Like good art, this stirred up some strong feelings in our hosts. Google was not ordered to sell off Chrome and/or Android, but they were ordered to make the playing field a bit more open. TikTok faces new investigations into their data transfers to China. Listen as our hosts jump into this rabbit hole and end up wondering: who is the true James Bond villain… and could it be… the EU? Are we the baddies? Is the EU becoming authoritarian if it passes a law that will allow it to scan all private and even encrypted messages? More countries are objecting to this. What is at stake here — our European way of life?   Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, grab some popcorn, and hopefully, enjoy!   Latombe: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2025-09/cp250106en.pdf NOYB vs. YouTube https://www.euractiv.com/section/tech/news/austrias-privacy-watchdog-tells-youtube-to-give-users-access-to-their-data/ https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-win-youtube-ordered-honour-users-right-access Google and antitrust: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg50dlj9gm4t China, James Bond, and TikTok: https://cybernews.com/security/tiktok-irish-investigation-eu-data-reached-china/?utm_source=chatgpt.com  EU…the baddie?

• #77: PrivacyPod special: Breaking Down the Latombe decision

  This PrivacyPod special episode was recorded on the very day the Latombe decision (T-553/23) was made, capturing the immediacy and raw analysis of a pivotal moment in EU–US data privacy law. Host Joost Gerritsen, together Prof. Dr. Gloria González Fuster (VUB, LSTS Director) and Pablo Trigo Kramcsák (PhD researcher, LSTS) delves into the EU General Court’s ruling and its implications for the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. With the judgment only hours old, the discussion is lively and unfiltered, blending critical legal insight with candid questions from the privacy community. Gloria and Pablo examine the court’s highly formalistic approach, questioning whether the decision provides real legal certainty or simply upholds the status quo on paper. They discuss the ruling’s weaknesses, including unresolved issues of admissibility and standing, and debate whether the judgment genuinely protects fundamental rights or merely recirculates official arguments without genuine scrutiny. The conversation also covers hot topics like Article 22 GDPR, the functioning of US oversight mechanisms, and the political climate that influences data transfers between Europe and the US. Throughout the episode, the panel answers audience queries, reflecting the pulse of the privacy profession as it digests the breaking news. These real-time reactions make this episode a unique snapshot of expert opinion as legal history is being written, offering essential listening for privacy professionals, legal scholars, and anyone following the saga of cross-border data flows.     If you would like to learn how this case relates to previous rulings and documents from supervisory authorities, please visit Digibeetle: https://digibeetle.eu/latombe  Press release on the Latombe case: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2025-09/cp250106en.pdf Did you enjoy our show?

• #76: The one that got us banned from a country we cannot mention

  In this episode, Jyri and Pilvi have been fished out from the pool and summer vacays to discuss privacy–and they desperately try to be optimistic, it’s summer, after all. Whippii. In this episode, we wallow in the following cases: TikTok Class Action in Germany (2000€ for the innocence of a child? How does that work? ) What is happening in the USA… (DOGE access to personal data, Palantir, migrant children’s data collected in data banks…Privacy and Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) in crisis?) …and should folks in the EU be taking steps to prepare for the fall of DPF and should the EU start to become  independent from the US tech giants? Denmark is leading the way? Spotify SEK 58 million fines remains, no luck with appeals. Japan gets a new AI law – with no penalties – innovation first. Meta replaces people with AI to oversee privacy A Dentist in France gets 50 000€ in damages from Google as they failed to remove negative reviews and their classic argument based on freedom of expression fails.   So crack open a cold one, forgive us for our damaged personalities, and hit play.   Did you enjoy our show?

• #75: Joost’s Case Corner – wait…whose sex ad is that?

  In this Joost’s Case Corner episode Joost, Pilvi and Jyri discuss running and privacy. In fact, the cases on our chopping block today highlights that no matter how complex privacy is, it always comes back to the basic simple questions—that are anything but simple.   The chopping block serves you today the following cases: Meta v EDPB [T-319/24, 29 April 2025] → Meta challenged the EDPB’s opinion about consent or pay and asked some dough for it as well–did they really think they would get some cash out of it? And how legally binding are these opinions? CJEU Inspektorat kam Visshia sadeben savet [C-313/23, C-316/23, C-332/23, 30 April 2025] → Corruption and anti-corruption: Can national courts intervene in how supervisory authorities work? CJEU Amt der Tiroler Landesregierung [C-638/23] → can *something* be a controller without it being a legal entity? This case’s decision is a pot of gold for all litigators. CJEU Russmedia Digital and Inform Media Press [C-492/23] → case about an ad that advertised someone selling sexual services without the knowledge of the said someone who absolutely did not sell sexual services. Who is the controller here?  So push play and enjoy! Also a massive shout out to Sean Quinn who supported our podcast by buying us coffee.. You made our day, week, and year!
