A Trump-appointed U.S. federal judge who ordered the White House to allow the Associated Press back into the press pool says he cannot stop the administration from enforcing a new rule that eliminates a permanent slot for wire services like the AP. Read more about the decision from @TheHill

AP wins reinstatement to #WhiteHouse events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists

The admin has appealed the order from last week that required it to readmit the #AP’s journalists, but a court of appeals hearing the case has not intervened so far. Although the pool for #Trump’s events today was planned & distributed to media outlets yesterday—before the order had taken effect—the absence of any AP journalists today or in coming days would be in violation of a judge’s order, unless the appeals court grants an emergency stay.
In the legal standoff between #Trump & The #AssociatedPress, the admin acknowledged in a filing just now that as of today, Trump was required to begin letting #AP journalists back in the WH #press pool to cover daily events. Acc/to the schedule released by the WH, neither a print reporter nor a photographer from the AP is part of the pool covering Trump’s meeting w/Bukele or other events today.

The #Trump administration said Wednesday that it is appealing a court ruling ordering the #WhiteHouse to restore the #AssociatedPress's access to official presidential events.
The US Attorney's Office said it was filing the appeal with the US #CourtOfAppeals for the #DistrictOColumbia on behalf of the three senior White House officials named in the #AP complaint.
PGO's: Agema liegt dat zij barst
Nb. een PGO is een "Persoonlijke Gezondheids Omgeving" (meer hierover in https://www.pgo.nl).
Volgens https://www.security.nl/posting/883501/Minister%3A+curator+verantwoordelijk+dat+failliete+PGO-leverancier+AVG+naleeft zei minister Agema m.b.t. een failliete PGO-aanbieder:
"Je gegevens zijn van jezelf en die blijven bij de bron. Op het moment dat de app weg is, zijn de gegevens ook weg".
In https://www.security.nl/posting/883670/PGO%27s%3A+minister+Agema+liegt beargumenteer ik waarom minister Agema op maar liefts drie aspecten liegt:
1) Gegevens van/over jou zijn (juridisch gezien) niet van jou. Het verkopen van "jouw" gegevens kan een "gerechtvaardigd" belang zijn van "ondernemers". Vooral van (bijna) failliete. Wie zou je daarna aan moeten klagen?
2) Met een PGO blijven jouw medische gegevens *niet* uitsluitend bij "de bron". De kans dat de PGO-aanbieder daar een kopie van op haar (cloud) servers heeft staan, schat ik in op bijna 100%.
3) De kans dat het verwijderen van een app (op jouw smartphone of tablet) ertoe leidt dat al jouw gegevens bij een (failliet gaande) PGO-aanbieder worden verwijderd, schat ik in op ca. 0%.
Trap niet in de leugens van suf-gelobbiede (en mogelijk corrupte) -en vaak het bedrijfsleven ondersteunende- politici!
