Nina and Sergio run through the most relevant news of the past three months at the usual intersection of marketing, data, privacy, and technology - stopping at a few less commented and yet quite relevant fines, guidelines, or upcoming legal frameworks.

In particular, this episode covers:

• Dark patterns in recent EU enforcement actions
• EDPB Guidelines on the technical scope of the ePrivacy Directive
• The 23andMe data breach
• 40 states suing Meta over Insta/FB’s impact on the mental health of teenagers

Best of all, we managed to avoid OpenAI’s drama.

With Nina Müller and Sergio Maldonado.
