EU Data Supervisor Probes EU Bodies' Software Deals with Microsoft (reuters.com)
EU data protection authorities are investigating whether the European Commission and other EU institutions comply with the bloc's strict data privacy rules in their software deals with Microsoft. From a report: The 28-country European Union adopted the landmark General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) about a year ago, giving Europeans more control over their online information and privacy enforcers the power to impose hefty fines. The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), which monitors the bloc's 70 institutions on their GDPR compliance, launched its investigation on Monday. The probe will look into the Microsoft products and services used by the institutions and whether the contractual agreements between them and the U.S. software company are GDPR-compliant. "When relying on third parties to provide services, the EU institutions remain accountable for any data processing carried out on their behalf," said Assistant EDPS Wojciech Wiewiorowski

And it's *YOURS*!

Need a therapist?
Relax. It's just Nazis VS Fascists. And you were confused and thought you had to pick a side, because the propaganda machine told you that otherwise you are a $literallyHitlerDuJour. You just happen to fall for the bigger propaganda machine of the Fascists instead of the smaller one of the Nazis. Not that it mattered.
In reality, there are no sides. You're a human. I'm a human. I haven't met you, so I can neither hate nor like you. So I'm cautiously open.
Cause who would have thought, that the sane spot of normal decent human beings is somewhere in the middle, between those.two insane caricatures extremes that both don't exist in reality.
