This morning I opened the Norwegian Personverndagene inTrondheim with a keynote on the Promise of the Future of Privacy, focusing on data protection by design and accountability. It was a pleasure to share the stage with my favourite US president Jed Bartlet! #WherePrivacyBringsYou

It seems the Hungarian opposition has done it! Decisions are made by those who show up, and the Hungarians showed up in force. 🇭🇺 (via @theguardian.com)

We did it! Dressed up to the nines - including custom socks and bow ties - the @seriousprivacy.eu team attended the PICCASO Awards gala and brought home the Author/Creator of the Year Award. This really means a lot to all of us!

After a successful and exciting week in Seoul at #GPA47, it is time to look ahead. Next year’s Global Privacy Assembly #GPA48 will take place in Dubai, from 7-11 December 2026. The year after, #GPA49 will take place in Kenya.

Today marks the end of WWII in Indonesia. During the memorial tonight, I will observe two minutes of silence for my ancestors, and for all those others who spent the war in Japanese internment camps.

Wat een bizarre reactie van de Nederlandse minister van Defensie. De aanvallen van Israël en de VS op Iran zijn volledig in strijd met internationaal recht, dus kunnen nooit worden vergoelijkt.

Last night I rewatched The Darkest Hour, about Winston Churchill. The final quote on screen seems very fitting for the chaos in the German Bundestag today... #Merz
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. - Winston Churchill

The Museum of Art in The Hague has a beautiful exposition on New Paris. The changes in the city in the 1860s, led by Haussmann, but visualised by the impressionists and early photographers. Well worth a visit!

Nou @partijnsc.bsky.social, laat maar eens zien hoeveel de rechtstaat jullie waard is. De toets van de Raad van State afdoel als 'maar een advies' is natuurlijk volstrekte onzin.

Minister Faber over asielwetten: 'Hooguit punten en komma's aanpassen'
Deel dit artikel
Minister Faber is niet van plan om de asielwetten aan te passen naar aanleiding van het advies van de Raad van State. "Misschien een punt en een komma, maar dat is het", zegt de minister van Asiel en Migratie.

Faber heeft de adviezen van het hoogste adviesorgaan naar eigen zeggen nog niet gelezen, maar doet dat dit weekend. De kans is volgens haar klein dat ze die opvolgt. "Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat mijn juristen een goed voorstel hebben neergelegd. Het advies is niet bindend, ik kan ermee doen wat ik wil."

What an amazing evening with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra @concertgborkest.bsky.social and violinist Janine Jansen at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw: Britten’s violin concerto and Schubert’s 2nd Symphony. The energy of conductor Klaus Mäkelä gives so much joy!

Misschien moet u eerst het artikel lezen. Het antwoord van De Graaf is aanzienlijk genuanceerder dan de kop.
Foto van een quote:

“Ik vind het zorgelijk dat het niet meer vanzelfsprekend wordt gevonden dat democratie iets heel anders is dan: de meerderheid bepaalt. Dat is een heel platte opvatting van democratie. Het gaat er ook om hoe je met minderheden omgaat, dat er ruimte is voor verschillende opinies en je probeert compromissen te maken. Ik denk af en toe: waar is dat besef gebleven?”
