Privacy Complaint against X and Italy's Anti-Piracy System Launch
This chapter discusses a privacy complaint lodged with the Dutch Data Protection Authority against a company, referred to as 'X', over targeted ads on sensitive data. The complaint is filed by a privacy rights non-profit organization, Noib, which accuses X of failing to enforce its own advertising guidelines that prohibit targeting people based on their political affiliations and religious beliefs. It also mentions the European Commission's use of sensitive personal data for targeted ads and Noib's previous complaint against the Commission. Additionally, the chapter mentions Italy's privacy shield anti-piracy system and its recent launch in a limited fashion.
