@welfare_ie Can you provide the public with a copy of the DPC's decision about SAFE2 and the PSC, which you have now appealed to the High Court?

@montezumachavez No decision published yet as far as we know. 'In due course' we are assured. dataprotection.ie/en/news-media/…

@DRIalerts Where we can read the decision?

DRI is deeply alarmed by Friday's secret High Court order requiring mobile phone companies operating in Ireland to engage in mass surveillance. We demand answers to the following 20 questions from the Minister for Justice: digitalrights.ie/20-questions-m…

"The Irish Digital Rights Ireland is going to court against Meta and the Irish privacy authority. According to them, the latter has done too little after data from hundreds of millions of Facebook users leaked out in 2021."

Bravo @DRIalerts. Digital Rights Ireland suing the Irish Data Protection Commission, and Meta. @Tupp_Ed @tjmcintyre @antoin irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4104…

And also this week, @ICCLtweet and @DRIalerts have written to all TDs, Senators outlining concerns regarding the data retention bill currently being rammed through the Oireachtas: 1. The bill will permit rolling one-year renewable data retention: in effect, indefinite retention;

If you're available in Dublin around Ormond Quay tomorrow at 3, we'd love to include a clip of you in a video to publicise the April 2021 Facebook data breach. If you can confirm your data was leaked at haveibeenpwned.com please DM us to take part!

Humboldt University has been the ideal home for two days of thoughtful, engaging workshops and meetings with over 30 EU #digitalrights organisations gathered for @edri General Assembly. It's been so valuable.

It's been a great kickoff morning for @edri General Assembly, and a great example of community building and group workshopping around #digitalrights advocacy.

Great to be in #Berlin for #edri's GA 2022. Thanks to @GFF_NGO for hosting a great kickoff event (with great swag!)

/ @DPCIreland is moving forward on the @DRIalerts - organized mass action.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4036…

We continue to challenge the efforts to turn the PSC into a national ID card by stealth. You can support us by making a donation at digitalrights.ie/support/

This ruling is in no small part the result of the hard work of the @drialerts #no2psc campaign with the help of @iccltweets over the last few years. We really appreciate all the support for this.
