The adviser to the EU’s top court has issued a recommendation to allow data protection agencies in any EU country to take legal action against Facebook or any other tech firm even if their regional headquarters are in a different EU state. The recommendation was issued after Facebook sought to rebuff Belgium’s privacy regulator in a data case by saying its European Union headquarters were in Dublin and so Ireland was the lead authority in the EU for the U.S. social media giant. Advocate-General Michal Bobek, the adviser to the Court of Justice of the European Union, recommended that the data protection agency in any EU country should be able to take legal action in various situations even if they were not the lead authority. If the recommendation is followed, it could prompt action by national agencies in the 27-member EU against other U.S. tech companies, such as Google, Twitter and Apple, which also have their EU headquarters in Ireland. Facebook did not provide an immediate comment. EU judges often follow advocate-general opinions but do not have to. They usually deliver a ruling in two to four months. Belgium’s regulator sought to stop Facebook gathering data on the browsing behaviour of Belgian users to show them targeted advertising without their valid consent. The regulator said this took place even if the user did not have a Facebook account. Facebook challenged this on the basis that the Irish privacy watchdog is the lead authority for Facebook. Bobek said the lead authority had a general competence over cross-border data processing and the power of other authorities to start legal proceedings was curtailed in cross-border cases based on the “one-stop-shop” mechanism enshrined in EU rules. But he said the lead authority needed to cooperate closely with other data protection authorities, which he said could still bring cases to their courts. EU privacy rules, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), give leeway for other national privacy regulators to rule on violations limited to a specific country. France and Germany have already done this. -Reuters

Speaking at a Houston food distribution drive Saturday, where he was volunteering, Turner said 77 of the 183 additional people who had tested positive for the virus lived in homeless shelters, ABC13 Houston reported.
Clusters of COVID-19 positive cases have been reported in homeless shelters across the state: Austin’s downtown Salvation Army homeless shelter closed in mid-April after 12 people there tested positive, resulting in all 187 residents being moved to a hotel leased by the city of Austin.
Houston, Austin and Dallas, in addition to other Texas cities, have over the last two months opened additional space for homeless people, in hotels and convention centers, but many of the services where homeless people traditionally turned for help have had to shut down or dramatically limit operations because of the virus.
“Folks experiencing homelessness is one of the big challenges that you have during something like this virus because quite frankly it’s a really susceptible and vulnerable population,” Adler told KVUE, describing the city’s efforts to acquire places where homeless people can isolate.
Austin’s unsheltered homeless population increased by 45% – 488 additional people – from 2019 to this year, according to the city and county’s point-in-time count, a snapshot of a region’s homeless population on any given night and usually assumed to be an undercount.
By MICHELLE R. SMITH and CARLA K. JOHNSON Associated Press PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — President Donald Trump insists that schools reopen this fall. Many parents, educators, doctors and economists want the same thing. But getting children back to school safely could mean keeping high-risk spots like bars and gyms closed. A growing chorus of public health experts is urging federal, state and local officials to reconsider how they are reopening the broader economy, and to prioritize K-12 schools — an effort that will likely require closing some other establishments to help curb the virus spread and give children the best []

By MICHELLE L. PRICE Associated Press LAS VEGAS (AP) — As President Donald Trump's reelection campaign challenged Nevada's new voting law in court, the president and Republicans argued the rules would facilitate fraud and illegal voting. Chief among their criticisms was a provision allowing 'ballot harvesting.' The Nevada lawsuit highlighted a practice that has long fueled Republicans' suspicions about mail-in voting. Although widely practiced and rarely found to be abused, the rule permitting a third party to collect and return multiple ballots remains a source of partisan dispute. Those fights are likely to continue up to Election Day as states […]

WASHINGTON, DC, United States (CMC) – The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) says it has joined with a number of firms, including Microsoft, to provide governments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) with immediate digital solutions, helping to ensure the continuity of administrative procedures during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
It said that the Digi/Gob platform, which is also being developed with the assistance of everis NTT Data, and Microsoft have joined forces to provide governments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in providing governments with a turnkey digital solution, free of charge, and will be sharing technical expertise, while the IDB works with governments on the ground to achieve rapid implementation.
