Nice to see you writing up one of the few people to stand up effectively to the search-ad complex. You did get Karlin Lillington last year, and that's great and she's far more visible but not equipped to fight at a detailed legal level the way Ryan is. As bad in their own way as the military-industrial, the 1000+ bottom feeders around the big beasts of G, F and similar. Read his books. For some reason even his old employers at the liberal Irish Times have not given much attention to his work of recent years. Maybe because the ad octopus usually evades control. At least he got written up by one of the big German media outlets but Ireland is asleep at the wheel. Sadly the Zeit article suggests he's got a bit "worn". Don't know whether the Data Protection Commission is incompetent, outgunned or penetrated, but you see how Ryan had to go to Belgium. Hope you can tell the story well. 95.161.235.229 (talk) 10:43, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
