CJEU C-413/23 P EDPS v SRB (Concept of personal data) 4 Sep 2025 – Case closed!
Pseudonymised data isn’t always personal in every case to everyone – but measures must be effective. Comments are personal by nature – no need to assess content, purpose or effects. Whether a person can be identified must be assessed from the controller’s perspective, when collecting the data.

Under Article 6(1)(f) you can disclose personal data for a commercial interest if the processing is strictly necessary and not outweighed by the data subjects' interests, rights or freedoms. The interest doesn't have to be determined by law, but it must be lawful. And CJEU nudges consent again.
