Talk:Max Schrems

Deletion template
I've removed the template. Schrems has articles in the Swedish and German wikipedias. If the templater wants to fling a template down, I suggest they use the one about incorporating material from other projects. Of course Schrems is notable. Why on earth does the templater imagine he's not with c. 324,000 hits on a Google search? It's so totally post-2007-watershed. Me, I'm not bothered. I'm offering some hard work and expertise here. Take it or leave it. c1cada (talk) 23:22, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

GDPR Compliants Filed Against Four Companies In Four Different Countries

 * ... launched by Schrems’ nonprofit NYOB ...
 * The complaints have been filed in authorities in different countries – all of which have reputation for strong privacy laws –
 * Google in France,
 * Facebook in Austria,
 * Instagram in Belgium and
 * WhatsApp in Hamburg, Germany
 * – but are broadly similar.

noyb instead of Schrems
In 2017, NOYB was co founded by Schrems. As far as I can tell Schrems has done all of his post 2017 legal work through NOYB. I am moving all of the legal cases from 2017 onwards to NOYB, and leaving behind links to NOYB instead. Schrems II as an example was brought forth by Schrems, so it will stay on his biography; but the Apple Tracking case (2020) will be moved to NOYB. The cases from the beginning of his career, 2011-2017 will stay on his page, as they were cases brought forth by his legal person. MrSirGuyFriendBuddyOlPal (talk) 20:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

At some stage I guess there need to be also a distinction between privacy issues re companies on the one hand and surveillance by government re terrorist and security issues on the other. I would be less concerned about the latter because we cannot do anything about that and they will always do what they think is necessary. Their methods should be more in the open, though, although over time we get to know what's happening when cases become public. I am more concerned about companies who use data to build more monopoly style structures and seek commercial advantage through data. That would end up in big global monopolies, similar to what the state owned companies in the Soviet Union had. Only openness and transparency of what these companies do can soften the sharp edges here. Conducting cases through nyob shifts a possible liability from Mr. Schrems to that organisation. Good move. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:3134:48E6:F7B8:C67B (talk) 05:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
