Former Meta Lobbyist Named to Ireland's DPC, Concerns

⚖️ The Irish government has appointed Niamh Sweeney as a member of the Data Protection Commission, the authority that leads EU oversight of major technology companies. The appointment has drawn strong criticism from privacy organization Noyb, which highlights Sweeney’s previous role as a lobbyist for Meta. Critics, including Max Schrems, argue this raises questions about impartiality and potential regulatory capture. As recently as December, the DPC fined Meta €251 million for breaches of GDPR, a fact cited by opponents of the appointment.
