Come Oct. 2021, you can find out how the US created the world's greatest money laundering scheme\u2014and how the US's transformation into an offshore haven has affected everything around us. pic.twitter.com/T2PN0ivyNL
'This is the first significant update to our anti-money laundering laws in twenty years, and one of the most important anti-corruption measures ever passed by the U.S. Congress.'
The most deserved pardon of the season! This is the one of the strongest laws against financial secrecy in American history. In my view (and if Treasury writes bold regs), it\u2019s even more important than the Patriot Act, best law of its kind since Bank Secrecy Act passage in 1970. https://t.co/z20X8NQ0X5

An unsung, but very important part of the AML reforms in the NDAA: antiquities now subject to AML obligations. https://t.co/RLDeGZ9KnL

More from Government
Starmer failed to bring charges against Jimmy Savile for paedophilia. The decision was made despite the Crown Prosecution Service receiving substantial evidence of his crimes from witnesses and victims several years before Savile died in 2011. #StarmerOut https://t.co/PNyX5uSAkw
With a past like hers, Margaret Hodge might show a bit more humility.
In the Eighties Hodge was aware of previous child sex abuse in the care homes for which she was responsible, and did nothing about it. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut
As leader of Islington Council, a post she held from 1982-92, Margaret Hodge was aware of previous, horrendous child sex abuse in the care homes for which she was responsible, and did nothing about it. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut #CSA
She was guilty of rather more than a casual failure of oversight. In an open letter to the BBC after it investigated a range of monstrous abuse (child prostitution, torture, alleged murders), Hodge libelled one of its victims as âseriously disturbedâ. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

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 â 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 â though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
