The EU hopes changes will make doing business easier, but campaigners fear citizens’ rights are under threat. What can we expect from the EU’s proposed new laws on GDPR and AI?

What is being presented as a ‘technical streamlining’ of EU digital laws is, in reality, an attempt to covertly dismantle Europe’s strongest protections against digital threats," an open letter read.

“I can confirm 100 percent that the objective… is not to lower the high privacy standards we have for our citizens,” said Thomas Regnier, EU spokesman for digital affairs.

    If you’re reading this from outside the US, I’d suggest lest time mocking us and more time studying the fisher price version of warning signs that your government is building infrastructure to quell civil unrest rather than moving full steam ahead toward universal basic income.

      Thank you, Henry Kissinger. Your input into geopolitical workings outside Nero’s burning city are noted.

      Also, “outside US” means Europe. Got it.

        Where did Nero live again? Also worth noting that orange mussolini and the HF are poorly copying the OG of all this. Weird take, bruv.

          Where, indeed.

          Weird take, bruv.

          Says someone who responded to an article about GDPR digital rights by interjecting that Europe should stop mocking the us and forcing everyone to use UBI.

            You’re almost there. If and when GDPR falls to the need to stay competitive in the global markets, you’ll be right behind us in the slide to enshitification of all the things. Don’t waste your lead mocking the death of murica. Your doubling-down proves just how addictive hate really is.
