Lawyer of Pheidi: He Was Right to Wear a Helmet - He's Ready for 'War'

The lawyer of Pheidi Panagiotou defended the “Agora” application against the criticism of the Commissioner for the Protection of Personal Data, Maria Christofidou. He argued that Pheidi was right to wear a helmet in the previous show and that the application is used for political expression and participation, without commercial purpose. The lawyer stressed that there is no established violation of the law and that the platform complies with the European GDPR regulation. He explained that the platform's architecture had been notified to the competent European authorities since June of last year and that the suspension of its operation had not been requested. The lawyer stated that the Commissioner for the Protection of Data has not requested an impact assessment or considered data processing as high risk. He emphasized that the application operates with the explicit consent of users and that there is full institutional consultation with the Commissioner. Finally, the lawyer characterized the criticism as an intense political confrontation and stated that Pheidi is ready to face the challenges.
