Newsroom: Fall 2025
from Masters of Privacy Hosted by Sergio Maldonado
It is time for a seasonal update at the intersection of Marketing, Data, Privacy and Technology. We will stick to our usual five blocks: ePrivacy & regulatory updates; MarTech & AdTech; AI, Competition and Digital Markets; PETs, Zero-Party Data and Customer Centricity; Future of Media. This season’s update includes: * CJEU Russmedia decision (“mere conduit” safe harbour overridden by a marketplace’s role as a data controller) * EU/UK DPA fines (LastPass-ICO, Infobel-APDB, AMEX-CNIL, AENA-AEPD) * California: Public enforcement (by both the AG -JamCity, SlingTV- and the CPPA) and status of CIPA lawsuits * Texas’ AG vs. TV manufacturers * New legislation: EU Digital Omnibus, California’s spree, US Executive Order on AI * Most recent adventures and daring moves of Meta, OpenAI, Google, Apple and X in the face of MarTech/AdTech constraints, market dynamics, antitrust actions and other enforcement initiatives. (Our referenced monographic episode on CIPA/VPPA litigation is available here.) All references and links can be found in a separate blog post available to Masters of Privacy Connect subscribers on our website’s Newsroom section (Newsroom Notes: Fall 2025).
