A European Commission initiative aimed to let Big Tech companies voluntarily commit to a "cookie pledge", which would allow consumers to make effective choices regarding tracking-based advertising models, has failed to gain traction, a Commission spokesperson told Euronews. During the 2023 Consumer Summit, EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders announced his intention to introduce measures that would reduce consumer tracking, allow conscious choices, and address "pay or consent" policies pursued by tech giants, by means of a voluntary pledge, which companies were supposed to sign at last week...

EU institutions last month reached a deal on rules governing the new European Health Data Space (EHDS), setting a common European framework for the sharing of health data. The agreement envisions the sharing of sensitive health data across the EU for research, innovation, public health, policy-making and regulatory purposes. One issue divided lawmakers throughout the negotiations: the secondary use of data. This means re-use of data already registered by health services by third parties for research, innovation and public health purposes. These third parties can be public, private and non-prof...

Think about what you did yesterday with your phone. Did you look for an address? Did you order food? Did you read the newspaper? Did you listen to a podcast? Did you open an app or take a photo? It's all registered. Today, it's almost impossible to live without leaving a digital footprint. How can we be sure this very long trail of data protects us and does not violate our privacy?

The political deal, struck this morning (15 March) at the eleventh-hour of the Belgian EU presidency, followed a dramatic collapse in talks last week. The rules – now provisionally agreed upon by MEPs and EU ministers – are meant to govern the transmission and sharing of sensitive health data across the bloc for private individuals, researchers, and policymakers. “After months of hard work and dedication, we have a deal that will strongly support patient care and scientific research in the EU,” said Belgium’s health minister Frank Vandenbroucke, who committed to do his utmost to secure a deal ...

If some US lawmakers have their way, the United States and China could end up with something in common: TikTok might not be available in either country. The US House on Wednesday approved a bill requiring the Beijing-based company ByteDance to sell its subsidiary TikTok or face a nationwide ban. It's unclear if the bill will ever become law, but it reflects lawmakers' fears that the social media platform could expose Americans to Beijing's malign influences and data security risks. But while US lawmakers associate TikTok with China, the company, headquartered outside China, has strategically k...
