In this episode of the Privacy and Partnership podcast, Rob discusses a significant ruling from the CJEU regarding WhatsApp's legal challenge against the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). 


The CJEU's decision allows companies to directly challenge binding decisions made by the EDPB. Rob explores the implications of this ruling, particularly how it affects the relationship between tech companies and regulatory bodies, and the potential for increased litigation against the EDPB.
