   Good morning everyone. Some time ago I said that the left needs to stop idolizing the GDPR.

   I decided to elaborate on that and explain how and where the political economy of neoliberalism is alive and kicking in the GDPR, how alternatives would look like and how we (don't) get there 👇

     @malteengeler @anneroth yeh, but no. #gdpr gives citizens rights. In a #capitalistic world sure. These are Still human rights in a digital word.

     @malteengeler As am I with yours :) Thank you, by the way; we don’t hear what you just wrote enough and it’s key if we want to see meaningful, progressive change.
