Last week, we at The Citizen Lab and VSquare exposed Hungarian intelligence’s use of Webloc, an ad-based surveillance system based on mobile app data.
Update: The Hungarian GDPR regulator told us it's launched an investigation into the matter. A great first step.
I hope Hungary's new govt secures the mandate and independence of its regulator.
Other European data protection authorities must follow and investigate ad-based surveillance firms and their data supply chains:
