The ministerial choice to pseudonymize the names of the parties and, at the same time, make public the names of the judges in the sentences published in the recently introduced and freely accessible online database of the jurisprudence of merit, would seem to conflict with the regulations dictated by the Privacy Code regarding
the processing of personal data contained in judicial orders. 

It appears, therefore, of interest to question the difficult balance between the interest in the publication of personal data, with reference to the sentences published online, and the interest in pseudonymising the data in order to guarantee the broadest protection, also in light of the serious dangers of illegitimate profiling that arise from the unstoppable evolution of artificial intelligence tools for data analysis.

Finally, we will mention the increasingly growing favor shown by recent community interventions towards the anonymization of personal data contained in public administration (and judicial offices) documents to allow their free circulation and their reuse/exploitation for economic purposes.
