irl | i still find it strange that we've ended up in a situation that it's normal to need a "cookie management system" because reading some article on a website requires that many cookies to be placed on your computer | 10:30:44 |

Lukas | I find it fascinating how much their argument (https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=DSB_(Austria)_-_2021-0.586.257_(D155.027) has more details) is based on the fact that Google LLC is an US business (instead of as I expected on what Google is actually doing with the data). | 15:28:19 |
r3ckd | Lukas: I think this is just the most potent legal attack vector the EU can find in effort to stop this wholesale surveillance. | 15:35:52 |
Lukas | Indeed and it might be even more powerful as it is harder for companies to argue against (compared to providing long arguments that their users are technically accepting a contract and therefore consenting or similar things) | 15:38:40 |
r3ckd | PRIO has been brought to the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) recently: https://crypto.stanford.edu/prio/paper.pdf I wonder if there is an intersection between Clean Insights and this work. | 15:44:16 |
n8fr8 | In reply to @r3ckd:matrix.org PRIO has been brought to the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) recently: https://crypto.stanford.edu/prio/paper.pdf I wonder if there is an intersection between Clean Insights and this work. interesting indeed | 21:48:15 |
n8fr8 | gina_h: apologies if I forgot, but did you submit a clean insights session to rightscon? | 21:48:49 |
n8fr8 | we still have 7 days! | 21:48:53 |
gina_h | I haven't been working on a Clean Insights session for RC, but if folks have ideas I'm happy to pitch in! | 21:52:38 |
n8fr8 | I think carrie may have, but double checking. | 21:52:49 |

_hc | "In bad news for US cloud services, Austrian website’s use of Google Analytics found to breach GDPR" https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/12/austrian-dpa-schrems-ii
https://noyb.eu/en/austrian-dsb-eu-us-data-transfers-google-analytics-illegal | 10:09:05 |
_hc | This could mean a whole lot more opportunities for Clean Insights! | 10:09:21 |
r3ckd | We were shown some documents relative to Russia recently, and my reading of their new legislation is that "sending of Russian citizen data to foreign countries" (== Google Analytics) was part of the reasoning to start blocking and DPI. | 13:26:52 |
_hc | makes sense, given that the NSA can legally get all the data that flows into the US | 16:10:59 |
_hc | its a really bad precedent that the US is pushing here | 16:11:19 |
