You are in control of the data you share. Full stop.
The #GDPR has put you in control of your personal data, including enshrining consent to its processing and the right to be forgotten.
As of January, the European Data Act will extend your rights to connected products by making it easy to access and move any data generated – whether it's about personal data or not.
On #DataProtectionDay, we ask you: What are the most important advancements for you? 👇

What use is that when everywhere in the EU administrations and institutions work with MS Windows, MS Office, MS Teams, WhatsApp and use Facebook or Twitter for publishing?
There is not the slightest understanding of what IT sovereignty means!
Democracy thrives on transparency - also and especially in IT.
That's why open source is mandatory, NOW! #FOSS

Was nützt das, wenn überall in den EU-Verwaltungen und Institutionen mit MS Windows, MS Office, MS Teams, WhatsApp arbieten und Facebook or Twitter zum Publizieren nutzen.
Es gibt nicht das kleinste bisschen Verständnis, was IT-Souveränität bedeutet!
Demokratie lebt von Transparenz - auch und gerade in der IT.
Darum Open-Source verpflichtend, JETZT! #FOSS
The problem is that I'm not under the impression that all those who should in the Commission care about the implementation at all. E.g. Thierry Breton.
Furthermore, many tech companies don't give a shit and the most often responsible Irish authorities don't give one either.
If they act, it's almost always because other MS authorities push them or people like Max Schrems successfully sues.
