I reserve the right to speak and possibly introduce amendments about external databases that hold special categories of personal data. The ISideWith online campaign has data for more than 100,000 individuals which are available to be used in micro-targeting. They are held in the United States beyond the jurisdiction of GDPR, but they could still potentially be used in the future to affect Irish elections and referenda and pose a threat to democracy. I wish to raise this issue on Report Stage.
