Among the topics of current interest in the field of protection of personal data are the limits on use of the information published on social networks, especially in view of the regulatory changes introduced by the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").
We are pleased to share an article written by Ms. Maria Roberta Perugini, which identifies the consequences of this issue arising from the exception on the prohibition of "processing special categories of personal data" (Art. 9 GDPR) for cases where the processing relates to "personal data which are manifestly made public by the interested party "(paragraph 2, lett. e), recently published on the observatory's online blog on GDPR http://europrivacy.info".
