Trade Agreements and the Internet - and the Zombies

I had the pleasure of speaking about what trade agreements such as TTIP or TiSA may do to the internet at re:publica, the greatest European conference about the digital society. The talk was together with Estelle Massé, Gaelle Krikorian, and Sanya Reid Smith.

Here are the slides, and here is the video recording. They may contain Plants and Zombies.

TTIP and TiSA: big pressure to trade away privacy

I have been asked by Statewatch before the summer to contribute to their collection of essays and analyses on transatlantic relations. I wrote an analysis of the pressure on European data protection and privacy rules, including strategic discourses and lobbying around it. It is based on the documents that are available so far.

The paper has finally been published in September, very timely after the end of the Brussels and Washington summer break.
