Record Meta fine masks Europe’s privacy struggle

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:17:08 GMT

Five years and almost €4 billion worth of fines stemming from tougher privacy enforcement and the European Union is still asking if it’s doing enough to protect personal data.Social media giant Meta was the latest to face a big penalty Monday when Ireland’s privacy watchdog fined it a record €1.2 billion euros for privacy violations under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).The blockbuster levy hits at the heart of the technology sector’s ability to transfer data across the Atlantic and orders the company to stop moving Europeans’ data to the United States until Washington provides sufficient checks to keep such personal information safe.For GDPR’s supporters, the fine from Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) serves as a vindication that the EU’s most feared tech law has bite, not just bark. The law, which came into force on May 25, 2018, has prompted businesses — from Big Tech giants to hotel chains, c...

(CNN) — The countdown is on, the stakes are high – and there is still no debt limit deal.President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are slated to meet again Monday, following a weekend notable for its lack of progress in trying to reach a deal to avoid the country’s first-ever default on its debt.Negotiations between the White House and the House GOP hit a snag and were put on pause Friday, and representatives of each side spent most of the next two days criticizing the other while defending their own positions.In a sign of a possible thaw, Biden and McCarthy spoke over the phone as the president was aboard Air Force One, heading back to Washington after a shortened trip to Japan. McCarthy told reporters Sunday that the call was “productive.” But that came after Biden had sharply criticized Republicans at a news conference in Hiroshima, where he said he wasn’t able to promise fellow world leaders gathered for Group of Seven talks that the US would not d...

A bit of caution before we delve into the point of this column:Lasting power in the NBA, or any major professional sports league for that matter, is fickle. Injuries happen. Players disappoint. Eyes wander. Owners are forced to sell. Handguns are brandished on Instagram Live. Not too long ago, we were pondering the potential dynasties of the Grizzlies, Suns and Sixers. Now we’re asking if they should break it up.With that being said, the Nuggets, undoubtedly bound for the franchise’s first NBA Finals after handing LeBron an insurmountable 3-0 series deficit, deserve our attention. Not just for the 2023 title, but as the team to beat for the next three seasons.Nikola Jokic, at 28 years old and devoid of any major injuries in his career (playing low to the ground has the benefit of saving ligaments), is already the second best player in the NBA, below only Giannis Antetokounmpo. He is signed until 2028.Three other starters – Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and ...
