I mentioned in a recent post that the proposed new EU Data Protection Regulation is, to say the least, problematic. Actually I called it a disgrace, which it is.

I go into slightly more detail in an article co-written with Daragh O’Brien, which we submitted to the Irish Times for consideration as an Op Ed piece. Alas, the Times, who’s coverage of Data issues can range from excellent to terrible in a single day, has declined to publish it. If is available to read at Daragh’s blog, which you should bookmark if you are even slightly interested in Data Protection, security and privacy.
