Monday's SCOTUS ruling against the FTC is the final nail in the coffin of the Data Privacy Framework (the adequacy agreement between the EU and US which allows personal data to flow to the US).

Looks like US Frontier Models are censoring responses related to Donald Trump which raises serious questions in the EU after a German Court ruled Google's AI output is Google's Speech.

Also raises significant questions under the DSA and misinformation/disinformation considering that Gemini is the most widely used LLM on the planet.

I fully support the UN, I work in human rights, but I do not support hypocrisy

In 2021 I filed a GDPR complaint against Elkjop (owned by Currys PLC) for unlawfully requiring loyalty club members be subjected to direct marketing.

5 years later, their DPO wishes they hadn't been so smug as they face a 1.8M euro fine and are left wide open to a Representative Action Directive claim which could result in more than 1000x the fine from the Regulator.

Maltese privacy regulator has admitted in writing that they can not protect citizens from Big Tech due to Malta's failure to implement EU law correctly.

So, it seems that Google are no longer willing to pretend that their "on device" AI keeps everything "on device". In the latest version of Chrome they remove the privacy assurances that the model will not send any data back to their servers - creating further breaches of consumer protection law across the EU and the US.
