I am absolutely fan-girling over Anna Funder. Stunning synopsis of her books Staziland & Wifedom and surveillance in a digital era. She speaks so eloquently & with a remarkably droll sense of humour. I would love to see her on a panel with John Edwards - it would be a sold out event!

Excellent session on European and UK enforcement at #GPS24 with Jeanne Kelly ICO - Information Commissioner's Office John Edwards Data Protection Commission Ireland ‘s Graham Doyle, and Hogan Lovells Bret Cohen. Really practical discussion on European and U.K. enforcement trends - the regulators’ perspective.

At “Top 12 Compliance Action Items for Global Businesses” learn about key compliance items that most companies are subject to and often neglect with lothar determann (Baker McKenzie), MB Donnelly (Data Protection Commission Ireland) and Graham Doyle (Data Protection Commission Ireland) #GPS24

Just deleting a period-tracking app is “bad advice because, simply, this is not the data that is being used in these prosecutions right now,” EFF’s Eva told @USAToday. Worry more about Facebook messenger chats, Google searches, & location data. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

An icon for me & my mum. I’m so lucky to have had the chance to express my gratitude to Nell when I bumped into her in Ranelagh a few years ago. She wasn’t having any of it & responded with her trademark sarcasm and wit- “you’re just surprised I’m still here”. Goodnight Sister.

It was a great pleasure to interview Data Protection Commission Ireland Des Hogan and Dale Sunderland in Brussels at the IAPP #DPC24. It was an honest, open and insightful session with the commissioners. Lots to discuss - DPC strategic focus, resourcing & recent regulatory enforcement.

Very excited to be here in Paris for the AI Summit & a busy few days!
