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.
These cutbacks are completely stupid imho. The EU is undoing decades of good work by jumping on this dumb deregulation band wagon. I guess it was always run by a bunch of neoliberals…
As someone with a lot of time spent in Europe and the US over the last 30-40 years, it seems like Europe is often happy to jump on the bandwagon of America, they just want someone else to go first. I also think American music and cultural exports are spreading our cultural degeneracy around the world for a long time and Germans slurp it up. I really hope the better education system will immunize them against the worst of it, but the rise of the AfD makes me doubt.
lol.
With the current trend I feel like the neonazis AfD will put us right back to Temu-Hitler (Trump) and Putin.
Like an engine that runs on FOMO?
