The European Union’s executive body is facing an embarrassing privacy scandal after it was confirmed on Friday that a Commission ad campaign on X (formerly Twitter) breached the EU’s own data protection rules.

    The fact that EU has ad campaigns on Twitter is more embarrassing

      I was about to write that i agree, but then i read the article. The ads were targeting people to sway public opinion on chat control, the very purpose GDPR was built to control. I expected more from our politicians.

      So, as embarrassing as twitter is, the intended purpose is worse.

      I’m glad GDPR seems to work.
