Today, the European Commission launched a public consultation on the Digital Services Act (DSA) Transparency Database.
Article 24(5) of the DSA establishes that the Commission must set up and maintain a database of statements from online platforms concerning reasons for removal of information and other content moderation decisions.
Once the database is created, platforms will be asked to submit their statements without undue delay after taking a decision, allowing for almost real-time updates. This content will be public and provide insights into the fight against illegal content online.
The public consultation aims to gather information on how to implement this obligation. This includes what information should be collected, and methods for submitting statements and accessing the database. The consultation is composed of a set of questions and software code, which implements a draft version of this database.
The Commission invites providers of online platforms, civil society organisations, researchers and others to submit feedback until 17 July.

Brussels, 21 June - During its latest plenary, the EDPB has adopted a template complaint form to facilitate the submission of complaints by individuals and the subsequent handling of complaints by Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) in cross-border cases.
EDPB Chair, Anu Talus said: “The template is one of the commitments the EDPB Members made during their high-level meeting of April 2022 in Vienna to boost enforcement cooperation among DPAs. It will facilitate the cross-border exchange of information regarding complaints between DPAs and will help DPAs save time and resolve cross-border cases more efficiently."
The template takes into account existing differences between national laws and practices. DPAs will use it on a voluntary basis and can adapt it to their respective national requirements.

Data Act: Commission welcomes political agreement on rules for a fair and innovative data economy
submitted by nicfab to privacy

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_23_3491
The Commission welcomes the political agreement reached today between the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, on the European Data Act, proposed by the Commission in February 2022.
Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution fuels exponential growth with projected data volume set to skyrocket in the coming years. A significant amount of industrial data remains unused and brimming with unrealised possibilities.
The Data Act aims to boost the EU’s data economy by unlocking industrial data, optimising its accessibility and use, and fostering a competitive and reliable European cloud market. It seeks to ensure that the benefits of the digital revolution are shared by everyone.
Concretely, the Data Act includes:
* Measures that enable users of connected devices to access the data generated by these devices and by services related to these devices. Users will be able to share such data with third parties, boosting aftermarket services and innovation. Simultaneously, manufacturers remain incentivised to invest in high-quality data generation while their trade secrets remain protected.
* Measures to provide protection from unfair contractual terms that are unilaterally imposed. These aim to safeguard EU companies from unjust agreements, fostering fair negotiations and enabling SMEs to participate more confidently in the digital marketplace.
* Mechanisms for public sector bodies to access and use data held by the private sector in cases of public emergencies such as floods and wildfires, or when implementing a legal mandate where the required data is not readily available through other means.
* New rules that grant customers the freedom to switch between various cloud data-processing service providers. These rules aim to promote competition and choice in the market while preventing vendor lock-in. Additionally, the Data Act includes safeguards against unlawful data transfers, ensuring a more reliable and secure data-processing environment.
* Measures to promote the development of interoperability standards for data-sharing and data processing, in line with the EU Standardisation Strategy.

EU policymakers reached a political agreement on the Data Act in the late hours of Tuesday (27 June).
The Data Act is a landmark legislation meant to remove barriers to the circulation of non-personal data by regulating the rights and obligations of all economic actors involved in producing and consuming Internet of Things products – connected devices capable of collecting and sharing data.
With Tuesday’s agreement, the EU Council, Parliament and Commission bridged their differences on the most important aspects of the data law that is now set for formal adoptions as the text is fine-tuned at the technical level in the coming days.
“The Data Act will ensure that industrial data is shared, stored and processed in full respect of European rules. It will create a thriving data economy that is innovative and open, but on our European conditions,” EU Commissioner Thierry Breton said.

Europe’s new data law, explained

https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-new-data-act-explained/?
Industrial manufacturers in Europe sense the opportunity of big data — but Brussels is about to change the rules on how to tap into it.
European Union legislators struck a deal Tuesday evening on a landmark bill that aims to regulate who can access and share data generated by connected machines and devices, both on the work floor and at home.
The new law is a response to the untapped potential of industrial data in Europe, as 80 percent of machine or device-generated data is never used. The slow pace of its data economy is a threat to Europe’s industrial base — where the Continent still holds considerable sway — and data will be key for the deployment of artificial intelligence technologies in coming years.

BRUSSELS ― When the European Commission unveiled draft legislation paving the way for a digital version of the euro, its jitters over how to allay privacy concerns were only too apparent.
“This is not a Big Brother project,” Finance Commissioner Mairead McGuinness told reporters on Wednesday after presenting what, if it becomes a reality, will be a virtual extension of euro banknotes and coins and which will settle payments across the eurozone in seconds.
Supporters say the digital euro goes beyond providing a public good and will ensure the currency and European Central Bank remain relevant in a digital economy, where cryptocurrencies circulate and big tech companies dream of printing their own money.

Nigeria: President Bola Tinubu signs the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 into law

On 14 June 2023, President Bola Tinubu signed the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023 into law, with the aim of addressing the critical need for data protection in the country.
In recent years, Nigeria has been criticised for failing to pass a data protection law while many other African countries have successfully done so. Instead, the country previously relied on the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, 2019 (NDPR), released by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), which has now been replaced by the Data Protection Act. Several sections of the Act focus on the safeguards required during the processing of personal information. Section 24 of the Act emphasises the principles governing the processing of personal data and mandates data controllers and processors to collect data lawfully and process it securely. Section 25 provides the lawful basis for personal data processing, requiring the consent of the data subject for specific purposes. The legislation further outlines the rights of data subjects in sections 34 – 37, ensuring that individuals have control over their personal information. The Act prohibits the cross-border transfer of personal data, except when legally permitted, and enhances accountability by mandating all data controllers and processors who are considered of “significant importance” to register with the regulatory authority within six months of the law’s commencement.

Therefore the Parliament is running through more than a 100 page-document, aiming to empower EU citizens to better control their health data, unleash the market potential and set up the framework for data reuse while ensuring the protection of this highly sensitive data.

The European Commission presented on Tuesday (4 July) a legislative proposal to harmonise certain aspects of national procedural rules to speed up cross-border cases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The reform was requested by the chair of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), the body that gathers all EU data protection authorities, which pointed out several discrepancies in the national legal framework that prevented smooth cooperation among data regulators.
The draft law touches upon complaints over alleged data protection breaches, the procedural rights of parties under investigation, intra-authority cooperation and dispute resolution.

Data protection: Commission adopts new rules to ensure stronger enforcement of the GDPR in cross-border cases
submitted by nicfab to privacy
1 points | 0 comments
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_23_3609
Today, the Commission proposes a new law to streamline cooperation between data protection authorities (DPAs) when enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation in cross-border cases. The new regulation will set up concrete procedural rules for the authorities when applying the GDPR in cases which affect individuals located in more than one Member State. For example, it will introduce an obligation for the lead Data Protection Authority to send a ‘summary of key issues’ to their counterparts concerned, identifying the main elements of the investigation and its views on the case, and therefore allowing them to provide their views early on. The proposal will contribute to reduce disagreements and facilitate consensus among authorities since the initial stages of the process.
For individuals, the new rules will clarify what they need to submit when making a complaint and ensure that they are appropriately involved in the process. For businesses, the new rules will clarify their due process rights when a DPA investigates a potential breach of the GDPR. The rules will therefore bring swifter resolution of cases, meaning quicker remedies for individuals and more legal certainty for businesses. For data protection authorities, the new rules will smoothen cooperation and enhance efficiency of enforcement.

Today, the Commission proposes a new law to streamline cooperation between data protection authorities (DPAs) when enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation in cross-border cases. The new regulation will set up concrete procedural rules for the authorities when applying the GDPR in cases which affect individuals located in more than one Member State. For example, it will introduce an obligation for the lead Data Protection Authority to send a ‘summary of key issues’ to their counterparts concerned, identifying the main elements of the investigation and its views on the case, and therefore allowing them to provide their views early on. The proposal will contribute to reduce disagreements and facilitate consensus among authorities since the initial stages of the process.

Intervista a uno dei padri dell’AI. “Essere intelligenti non vuol dire avere voglia di dominare. Il mito della superintelligenza cattiva deriva dal fatto che una macchina intelligente sia proprio come noi. Ma non è così”
“L’Intelligenza artificiale ci porterà verso un nuovo umanesimo. Accrescerà l’intelligenza di tutti, non solo quella delle macchine. Perché alcuni esperti sono allarmati? Hanno una visione semplicistica delle conseguenze”. Yann LeCun è considerato uno dei padri dell’Intelligenza artificiale. Autore di saggi e articoli considerati oggi la Bibbia di chi si occupa di apprendimento automatico delle macchine, è professore della New York University, capo della divisione Intelligenza artificiale. I suoi studi gli sono valsi il massimo riconoscimento del settore: il Premio Turing nel 2018. La sua visione sull’Ai e sull’impatto che avrà sulle nostre società sono ampiamente condivise in ambito accademico. Lunedì ha ricevuto la laurea ad honorem dell’Università di Siena per il contributo fondamentale alla ricerca nel campo dell’intelligenza artificiale. È interventuo all’evento SAIConference di Siena, un incontro dedicato all’Intelligenza Artificiale realizzato da SAIHub (Siena Artificial Intelligence Hub). E sulle norme decise dall’Unione europea per regolamentare l’Ai non ha dubbbi: “Sbagliato decidere leggi sull’Ai. Diverso è se si parla di come viene applicata”. Sull’Intelligenza artificiale si è aperto un ampio dibattito tra accademici, imprenditori del settore e più in generale tra l’opinione pubblica. Rischi, opportunità, paure e speranze.
