Article in Dutch newspaper NRC on a court case by 3 NGOs against Meta about Meta’s ‘AI’ glasses.
I’m quoted briefly, and I mention that normally the Irish Data Protection Authority should deal with Meta. But I add:
‘The Irish regulator is not only struggling with staff shortages, but is also known for being generally business-friendly. They are more inclined to have a cup of coffee with companies than to enforce the rules strictly.’
