Tracking
GDPR Fines
Since
the European Union’s GDPR regulations became law on May 25th, 2018,
organizations have had to
adapt to a new way of thinking about data. The specific
and concrete rules leave very little room for interpretation when it
comes to the acquisition and storage of data, as well as what to do
in the event of a data breach.
All
data processing must be compliant with GDPR regulations,
and organizations risk receiving large fines for failure to do so.
GDPR
fines are occurring at an increasing frequency as organizations fail
to collect proper authorization to acquire private data, or
inadequately protect the data they hold. As of March 2020, over 230
fines have been issued, totaling over €150m.
Digital
privacy advocacy site PrivacyAffairs.com have created a public GDPR
fines tracking tool that
includes details of every single GDPR fine and is updated regularly.

to do while hiding from the bug.

The
New York Times –
The astonishment of riches includes up-close looks at our history in
hundreds of films. And they’re all
free.
“…The biggest library in the world, it has an extraordinary
trove of online offerings — more than 7,000
videos —
that includes hundreds of old (and really
old)
movies. With one click, you can watch Buffalo
Bill’s Wild West show parade
down Fifth Avenue in 1902; click again to giggle at Krazy
Kat and Ignatz Mouse in
a 1916 cartoon. And while the library is temporarily closed to the
public, its virtual doors remain open. It remains one of my favorite
places to get lost in… The aesthetic quality of the titles varies,
but that’s to the point of the library’s democratic mandate. Not
all the films on deposit are exemplars of the art — although
greatness abounds here — but they nevertheless have cultural and
historical value. Some are flat-out weird and wonderful, while
others seem like souvenirs from a distant land. That’s true of
“Television,”
a 1939 curio that
opens with an audience seated in the dark before a tiny glowing
screen that abruptly grows larger, a stark encapsulation of TV’s
challenge to moviegoing. “Television now takes its place,” the
narrator promises (threatens!), “as a new American art and
industry.”
One
of the library’s best YouTube
playlists gathers
together a small selection of titles from the National
Film Registry.
The registry is part of the library and new titles are added to it
annually with the help of the National Film Preservation Board, an
advisory body. The library also invites the public to nominate
titles for the registry, so if you’d like to endorse Robert
Aldrich’s 1964 freakout “Hush … Hush, Sweet Charlotte” you
have until Sept. 15. To be eligible, a movie must be at least 10
years (so hold off on nominating “The Last Jedi”) and be
“culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”…”

“The
Guardian has a regularly
updated page on classical music and opera.
But music isn’t just something that used to happen. Watch these
performances too from self-isolating
orchestras such
as this cello
octet performing an
Arvo Part arrangement…”
