Researcher @eui_law. Previously Democritus University of Thrace, @OxfordLawFac President @restechoxford Data protection, human rights, and constitutional law.
Happy to present my research tomorrow on the different legal treatment of physical and emotional harm. Here's the link to join us online

When some of us spoke out of principle against the ever expanding scope of these laws, our motivations were doubted. Now that it becomes increasingly clear that they can be weaponised to push specific agendas, I hope it is not too late.
@mattjcan I have respected your honesty and sincere desire to engage in reasoned discussion on this platform.
What you and you colleagues have done is respond to the panic generated over the actions of paid criminals orchestrated by an overseas outfit, in a manner that will capture and jail critics of Israel.
The Minister’s words provide zero comfort. (I have put that to the test in decades past over advertising on SBS not breaking into the News. In Assange’s extradition case, it was made clear that any exemptions not specified in the Act would not be held to be assumed irrespective of whether they were included in the Treaty.)
It is pushing our country towards fascism, crushing free speech to protect the interests of a foreign power and gratify its lobbyists here.
You and your colleagues will not only deprive Australians of the right to non violent free speech, you are also depriving Australians of our right to know.
How long do you think it will be before independent publishers and journalists are jailed?
The ADL’s Greenblatt made very clear weeks ago in the Knesset, the most important front in the war is online because “we” (Is he American or Israeli..) have lost the younger generation. So, he said, we must apply the ingenuity of the exploding pagers tactic to regain control of the narrative.
You have just delivered the means to do that in Australia.
Today in Court we heard the head of the ABC say the expression ‘illegally occupied Palestinian Territories’ is an antisemitic expression.
How is it that the Editor in Chief of the public broadcaster is so ignorant? Is he unaware of the ICJ orders, or is the Court antisemitic too? Will the likes of Anderson be the expert witnesses used by the Israeli lobby in aid of proving we are antisemites?
Our freedoms are being whipped away to the glee of those who insist on silencing criticism of Israel and thanks to their influence in the media and political circles.
Australia is rapidly changing. You may not be aware of this sentiment, but replies to my account and person messages indicate people are terrified of what is happening in our country. There is significant insecurity among employees in govt institutions because there is no shield against being gaslit and sacked, no protection from the effect of orchestrated complaints or anti Palestinian racism. That people feel unsafe and are at a loss as to what to do. There is a widespread serious problem our politicians evidently are oblivious to.
I was trying to access a report on data privacy at IE's website and apparently to merely access the paper I have to give them my name and email and my consent to receive personalised commercial promotions. This is on another level!
A very interesting paper and such an inspiring opportunity to attend a conference of this calibre in my home country. @JTasioulas and Josiah Ober made some very interesting points on the relevance of the thought of Aristotle today.
Ahead of The Lyceum Project taking place today in Athens, we are pleased to share this White Paper by @JTasioulas and Professor Josiah Ober on AI Ethics with Aristotle. A summary and link to the paper can be found here: https://t.co/bInkKQlJga #lyceumproject#aristotle
My new paper w/@b_mittelstadt@c_russl "Do LLMs have a legal duty to tell the truth?" We explore if developers need to reduce hallucinations, inaccurate & harmful outputs or what we term "careless speech"? We show who is liable for GenAI outputs. https://t.co/3vVVu202q8
I have to say that despite my numerous disagreements with how things are run at the EUI, the new administration's handling of the Palestine protests has been a beacon of light in very dark times for universities worldwide.
CALLING OXFORD ALUMNI: Email the university using the following link, informing them you will stop donations until they meet our demands: https://t.co/t2vqR0YVCn
Thirteen federal judges say that absent major changes at Columbia, they won't hire anyone who chooses to go there (undergrad or law school) following this year.

"Now it's actually getting dangerous." Watch activist Salah Said report from the Palestine Congress where police have stormed the speakers' stage and shut off the electricity.
Police descended on the congress stage as a pre-recorded speech by founder of the Palestine Land Society, Dr. Salman Abu Sitta, was playing. They demanded organizers stop filming and live streaming and plunged the room into darkness by switching off the lights and power. red. media's team at the scene reports that the electricity has now been turned back on.
The congress and its organizers have been subjected to unprecedented levels of repression for their efforts to raise public awareness about Germany's complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza.
Rector of Glasgow University, Ghassan Abu-Sittah, who was due to speak has been denied entry to Germany. Other speakers due to address the congress include Greek politician @yanisvaroufakis and Irish MP @RBoydBarrett.
🟡 Stay tuned @redstreamnet

A thing I worry about in the (academic) privacy field is that our work isn’t really improving privacy globally. If anything it would be more accurate to say we’re finding ways to encourage the collection and synthesis of more data, by applying a thin veneer of local “privacy.”
