Hi Jonas, Specifically, it seems to suggest to me that a fair number of proprietary platforms - facebook for example might contravene the 'Data protection by Design and by Default (Article 25)' that requires privacy settings to be set at a high level by default.
As far as I remember, FB wants everyone to share as much as possible, because that's forms the basis of it's ad revenue model and so the default settings for new accounts and new posts for established accounts is 'global' rather than 'private'? I am sure there will be many other examples like this giving the FSFE a welcome opportunity to voice in the important conversations people are having about privacy and FB and others... I am thinking purely in terms of FSFE public affairs, raising the profile of the organization as a benign force for good rather than anything more ambitious I think. ENISA seems to be used to elaborate on what needs to be done and although separate from the GDPR looks to be very influential in the interpretation? / m On 07/08/17 08:20, Jonas Oberg wrote: > Hi Mat, > >> Is the FSFE planning anything on the GDPR? > What specifically is it that you would see as something for the FSFE to > engage in around the GDPR?
