Poland issued more first residence permits to non-EU immigrants in 2017 than any other member state (and 17% more than a year earlier), new Eurostat data show.

In terms of the ratio of permits to population, Poland was third, behind only Malta & Cyprus (and just ahead of Sweden)

As @danieltilles1 noted in our most recent article, the current government has, despite its anti-immigration image, overseen the largest wave of immigration in Polish history https://t.co/qx51IaalSe

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
