I have complete confidence the EU will realise this may violate transparency laws, it will go to court in 7-8 years, publish a response in the next 5 finally getting this law fixed in about 2040. They always get these things right, in the end

The obvious compromise seems to be to limit the duration of confidentiality to something reasonable. Let's say 1-2 years.

Furthermore the initial draft talked about aggregate data anyway. The EU really shouldn't care about individual DCs anyway.

As long as they keep the water clean (and pay for the relevant environmental load quotas) and have the permits who the fuck cares? It's idiotic anti-AI hysteria.

The quote about "ramping up their lobbying efforts" is also absurd, it's just a few lines after the paragraph that describes that the commission asked for feedback from the industry as part of some standard consultative process.

The most crazy part seems to be the commission's "we have always been at war with Eastasia" behavior regarding the confidentiality.

Add being able to use your data plan throughout the EU without roaming costs and we're back at two for three.

		GDPR made rating agencies a lot more transparent than they used to be. There was a lot of guessing about why your Schufa score might be bad in Germany. I can now get a detailed breakdown of the data they have of me for free.

> alternative app stores no one really uses

It’s not "no one", but rather "almost no one". The difference is small, but still big enough to make room for me and a surprisingly large number of my friends and acquaintances—including our raised middle fingers.

We don't have to be in the majority; the main thing is that there's a niche for us. If the whole world is smoking crack, that's not ideal. But at least we don't have to go along with it.
