Iran Rejects European Calls for Restraint, Citing International Law Violations

By 144 0

Iran’s foreign ministry has strongly criticized calls from France, Germany, and Britain urging restraint in response to Israel, labeling these demands as lacking political logic and contradicting international law. The European nations issued their appeal after the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s political chief, in Tehran last month, an act for which Tehran and its allies, including Hamas and Hezbollah, hold Israel responsible.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, condemned the European stance, arguing that it ignores Israel’s alleged violations of Iranian sovereignty and territorial integrity. He asserted that Tehran remains committed to deterring Israel and urged the European nations to oppose the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Israel’s actions.

Kanaani further criticized the United Nations Security Council and Western governments, blaming their support for Israel as the primary driver behind the ongoing crisis in Gaza. He called on Paris, Berlin, and London to take a firm stand against what he described as Israel’s warmongering in the region.

European Privacy Group Files Complaints Against X for Unauthorized Use of User Data

By 132 0

Vienna-based privacy advocacy group Noyb has lodged complaints against Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) in eight European countries, alleging the company unlawfully utilized users’ personal data to train its artificial intelligence technology without their consent. The complaints come in the wake of similar legal actions by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), which had previously initiated court proceedings over X’s data collection practices.

Noyb claims that X began “irreversibly feeding” the personal data of over 60 million European users into its Grok AI system without notifying them or seeking their approval. The group criticized X for failing to inform users proactively, with many learning about the new data processing practice only through a viral social media post.

In response, the DPC has reportedly secured an agreement from X to halt its controversial data processing. However, Noyb founder Max Schrems argues that the DPC’s actions address only the superficial aspects of the issue, calling for a comprehensive investigation into the legality of X’s data processing. Noyb has now requested an urgent review from data protection authorities in Austria, Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain to ensure full compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
