https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/facebook-google-would-have-to-share-more-data-under-new-eu-plan/ > A comprehensive new grand strategy for handling European regulation in the "Digital Age" seeks to thread the technological needle, mitigating the harms of the information era—such as fraud, misinformation, and loss of privacy—while still reaping the benefits. The proposed plan, as released by the European Commission this week, names no names but still makes quite clear that the biggest US tech titans—especially Facebook and Google—would be squarely in the sights of any new legislation. > The data strategy plan (PDF) is just that: a plan, not a piece of legislation. As such, it's chock-full of aspirational language and lofty goals and relatively low on details. Its structure, however, lays out a clear framework for how the EU intends to approach data going forward.
