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.

    GDPR is a good goal, but the implementation is hell. There has to be a way to make well intentioned policies not turn into the nightmare fuel that it inevitably always turns into.

      When my nephew was young, it was impossible for him to go to bed on time. Just impossible! He tried nothing and it didn’t help! Please tell me that’s not what’s happening to the GDPR.
