The CJEU's Linqvist case subjected a private individual's actions to the full scope of data protection law, given the fact that the individual published personal data on a publicly available website. Thus, the household exemption provision in the Data Protection Directive (which continues in the GDPR) did not apply. What are the advantages and drawbacks of this broad finding? If you were a judge on the CJEU, would you decide the Linqvist case differently today? Consider the effects of recent technological trends, such as the use of cameras in cellphones, online shaming, and revenge porn. Do these developments support or undermine the Linqvist decision?
