what do the "GDPR is a failure" folks say to this? to me it seems like small-but-empowered regulators are taking a slowly-but-surely approach, flexing the new muscles GDPR gave them. it's gonna take a long time, but I think the landscape will be healthier in a few years https://t.co/hNgdrMN0OV

.@riptari does an AMAZING job here, turning the ICO adtech/real-time bidding conclusions into layperson speak. As ever, an amazing, detailed long-form piece that does justice to legal complexity while being fun to read (despite mega dismal subject matter). https://t.co/YePZoyQQ9K

Excellent summary of today's ICO report on large-scale misuse of personal information across online advertising and adtech, which is disruptive in its diagnosis yet lacks an appropriate path to enforcement by @riptari: https://t.co/JuYtgooEvi

The $200bn adtech industry that funds the internet is operating unlawfully, according to UK data watchdog @ICOnews. Unfortunately, companies are only going to start taking this seriously when fines are levied. My piece - https://t.co/3IFdhCgIuy

Oh my. The explainer text alongside ICO filing is absolutely brilliant. For example, “...because if a pop-up asked you to agree to, for example, your political or sexual preferences being broadcast to hundreds of advertisers you’d be sure to click ‘hell no.’ “ ht @riptari https://t.co/3bfYDJ3Fx9
