Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend us your ears!  We’ve come to discuss if transparency matters, not to bury it. The insufficient privacy decisions that men do lives after them; The efforts for better privacy is oft interred with their business minded decisions; So let it be with transparency. The noble controllers hath told you GDPR is impossibly ambitious: if it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath DPAs enforced it. Here, under leave of our Executive Producer and the rest- For he is an honorable man; so are we all, all honorable people– come we to battle this out for once and for all. And battle we shall. It is no secret that the PrivacyPod back-chat is often turned into a gladiator arena where we battle our views to the very end. One of the most discussed subject is if transparency even matters and what is the point of it. This time, Floora has set up the challenge and armed our gladiators Milla and Pilvi with gladius swords and retes nets, and lets them lose on the arena. Who barricades themselves on a hill of business minded decisions? Does better transparency create more risks or will it reduce risks? Is transparency a zero-sum game? Who tries to take a victory lap on a high horse only to be knocked down? Who has the high ground? Who tries to win all Partners to their side with icky frases? Will our friendship survive this or will this be the end of PrivacyPod?  So grab some popcorn and join in for a Shakespeare level drama!    Links: Klarna case: https://www.edpb.europa.eu/news/national-news/2022/swedish-authority-privacy-protection-imy-issues-administrative-fine-against_en https://www.imy.se/en/news/administrative-fine-against-klarna-after-investigation/   Whatsapp case: https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/news-media/press-releases/data-protection-commission-announces-decision-whatsapp-inquiry   Shakespeare: Julius Caesar, Act III, scene II: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/56968/speech-friends-romans-countrymen-lend-me-your-ears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q89MLuLSJgk   Did you enjoy our show?
