Our Executive Director Eleftherios Chelioudakis, LL.M, M.Sc, represented us in this interview.
According to the article, the Hellenic DPA “wants to wrap up two long-running investigations this September, one into the Greek police’s use of portable face and fingerprint scanning tools, and another into the Greek coast guard’s adoption of social media monitoring software.” We are glad to hear that important progress has been made in these two cases initiated by Homo Digitalis and its allies, researcher Phoebus Simeonidis (omniatv), HIAS Greece, Hellenic League for Human Rights, and Privacy International.
