  Data protection is actually a misnomer. Protecting your data is just a tool to protect you.

  And so the GDPR does not only protect your data. It also protects you from things like profiling or automated legal decisions based on existing data.

    But doesn’t protect you against ChatControl.

      No it doesn’t unfortunately, chat control is literally a loophole for big tech to gather data. They call it a “derogation”.

      It very much does. Else there would be no need for the EU to create legislation allowing/mandating it.

      Right now member states are not allowed to mandate chat control I believe.

  @AcesFullOfKings @sanitation Article 22
  

  The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.
