Online platform Vinted will appeal the €2,3 m privacy fine it received from the Lithuanian data protection authority yesterday, a company spokesperson told Euronews today (4 July).

The investigation was forwarded to Vilnius after the French and the Polish privacy regulators received local complaints. Under the GDPR, the regula...

Meta is no stranger to controversy. Last year, it was fined a record €1.2 billion for breaching EU data protection rules. Now the tech giant has paused the rollout of its AI assistant in Europe, after the Irish Data Protection Commission (IDPC) told Meta to postpone its plan to use data from Facebook and Instagram adult users to train large language models (LLMs). “We said, ‘It's sad that is your point of view. We believe it could be a different view, but you are the regulator.’ So, we pause everything and we have postponed some specific tools, what we call Meta AI, for the EU,” Laurent Solly,...

The Big Tech company said in a statement last week that it would begin notifying people in the UK and EU about how it will ...

US President Joe Biden renewed a section of the US surveillance framework in April, extending by two years the authorisation to monitor and collect data without warrants from non-Americans across the world, including Europeans.

Section 702 provided the legal basis for the NSA’s international mass surveillance programme PRISM, ...
