Last night I watched a couple hours of Mark Zuckerberg’s hearing at the US Senate. There is a lot to say about it, so many different questions were raised and I could have commented on each of his answers on so many levels. But there’s a point my legal mind really wanted to make — call it legalistic, I hope it’s of interest to a few of you.

It struck me that I could try to convey a more legally-substantiated framework in which to read the currently-developing events, as someone who has been studying and practicing data protection law and the right to privacy for ten years. I am also only just starting to measure the complexity of the ethical and legal issues attached to data protection, so I do not aim to give an opinion on those in such a brief note. Here we go.
