/ Data Protection Commission Ireland is moving forward on the DigitalRightsIreland - organized mass action.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4036…

It is time to look at this whole project again, and redesign government IT systems with data protection and privacy for the citizen at the forefront, not as an afterthought.

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

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

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.
