So, while we wait to see the EDPB’s Opinion on “Pay or OK”, a few things to look out for: (i) is the EDPB really going to push for a “third” option for large platforms? On what authority? (ii) I have been observing for a while that data protection regulators are adopting increasingly anti-business practices, […]
