At least there was one good #privacy move by EU regulators last week:

Europe’s privacy regulators have “significant concerns” about #Washington’s plans to hoover up more data about European travelers, they said in a letter sent to the @EUCommission this week.

The #EDPB asked the Commission if it plans to “take any action” over a US proposal to review Europeans’ social media and #PersonalData when they apply for #visa-free travel to the US.

"The Luxembourg courts have annulled a €746 million fine leveled against #Amazon by the country’s privacy regulator.

The court said that the data protection authority (#CNPD) failed to properly analyze Amazon’s “degree of fault” relating to certain #privacy breaches.

The court did confirm “the essence of the violations of the GDPR” that were identified by the CNPD, but noted that “these have now been resolved.” 😭
