Is the FSFE planning anything on the GDPR? European data protection law and cybersecurity strategy/policy talks a lot of talk about safeguarding 'individual freedom' in relation to Madrid protocol and so forth but no mention of Free Software.
Here's one example... The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduces (among other things) Data Protection Impact Assessments (Article 35) which have to be conducted when specific risks occur to the rights and **freedoms** of data subjects. Data Protection Officers (Articles 37–39) are to ensure compliance within organizations and have to be appointed **for all public authorities**. One report by ENISA (the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security) specifies that outsourced data storage on remote clouds is practical and relatively safe, as long as only the data owner, not the cloud service, holds the decryption keys - nothing about decentralization or open standards.. and the rest of it. -- Mat _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
