Meta on Monday was fined a record 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion) and ordered to stop transferring data collected from Facebook users in Europe to the United States, in a major ruling against the social media company for violating European Union data protection rules.

The penalty, announced by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, is potentially one of the most consequential in the five years since the European Union enacted the landmark data privacy law known as the General Data Protection Regulation. Regulators said the company failed to comply with a 2020 decision by the European Union’s highest court that Facebook data shipped across the Atlantic was not sufficiently protected from American spy agencies.

Amazon has agreed to pay more than $US30 million ($47 million) in fines to US regulators following allegations of historical privacy abuses, including retaining data collected from children after being explicitly asked to delete it.

In one case, the US Federal Trade Commission had alleged that, before mid-2019, the company failed to remove voice recordings, transcriptions and precise location data collected from children via the Alexa voice assistant even after parents requested their removal.

In another case, it said the company’s Ring video doorbells and security cameras had unreasonable privacy practices in January 2020. According to the FTC, Ring employees and contractors were given unrestricted access to view videos taken at users’ homes.

In both cases, the regulators specifically frame the breaches as designed to train Amazon AI and algorithms at the expense of users’ privacy, placing the fines within a trend of lawmakers around the world cracking down on unnecessary data collection and retention.

The agreement among the leading groups in the European Parliament on the AI regulation is dead, opening the door for amendments from both sides of the aisle.

The AI Act is a landmark legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its potential to cause harm. The European Parliament is set to vote on the legislative proposal on 14 June, as the deadline for tabling amendments passed on Wednesday (7 June).

At the end of April, the four main political parties agreed that they would not table alternative amendments, with the partial exception of the European People’s Party (EPP), which was granted some flexibility on the issue of remote biometric identification.

EU lawmakers are due to deliberate on how artificial intelligence (AI) systems should be classified in terms of the actual or potential risks they pose under the auspices of the new AI Act.

The AI Act is a flagship EU proposal to regulate AI technology based on its potential risks. At the proposal’s core is the high-risk category, which implies stricter requirements in terms of robustness and risk management on the side of the AI developer.

The MEPs involved in the file will discuss this critical aspect of the proposal at a political meeting on Wednesday (1 February). According to an agenda obtained by EURACTIV, the provision defining the AI risk classification process will be at the centre of the debate.

Digital Euro: acting for a privacy-friendly model

The digital euro: what is at stake for the freedoms of citizens

The European Central Bank (ECB) has launched in the summer of 2021 an investigation phase to develop a digital form of the euro. For this institution, one of the objectives is to maintain a link between citizens and fiat money in a context of declining cash payments, particularly accelerated in some countries. However, the ECB sees the digital euro as a complement to cash, not as a substitute.

The year 2023 will be key for the digital euro project. The objective is to have a legislative proposal from the European Commission by this summer, following the ECB’s investigation phase. This leaves six months to design a digital euro that respects privacy from the outset.

The risks for privacy

In the ECB's preparatory public consultation, respondents considered transaction confidentiality to be the most important parameter in the design of the digital euro (43%).

Top European Union (EU) official Thierry Breton told Twitter CEO Elon Musk that the latter’s platform will have to “do more” over the coming months in preparation for the microblogging site’s compliance with the bloc’s incoming social media regulations.

Breton, the EU commissioner for the internal market and social media, went on a video call two months ago in which Musk expressed intentions to fully comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).

DSA and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) aim to create a “safer digital space” where the fundamental rights of users are protected and to establish a level playing field for businesses. Together they form a single set of new rules that will be applicable across the whole bloc.
