Europe’s most famous technology law, the GDPR, is next on the hit list as the European Union pushes ahead with its regulatory killing spree to slash laws it reckons are weighing down its businesses.
The European Commission plans to present a proposal to cut back the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, in the next couple of weeks. Slashing regulation is a key focus for Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, as part of an attempt to make businesses in Europe more competitive with rivals in the United States, China and elsewhere.
Ban privacy invasive business practices instead of putting the burden on citizens to opt in/opt out. This is about rights of a European citizen not to be constantly under surveillance, not about consumers rights to sign away our rights in a contract.
