Lessons from the GDPR Red Lines or Red Tape
summary
GDPR becomes the global standard but enforcement gaps let large platforms adapt while smaller firms and NGOs struggle with paperwork and costs; regulators call for pan-European enforcement and clearer allocation of authority. The AI Act adds a commission arbitrator and market-surveillance powers, forces DPAs into product oversight for some high‑risk uses, and risks more procedural burden unless trimmed. Expect growth of compliance as a service, persistent disputes over targeted (surveillance) advertising, and calls to ban biometric mass surveillance while keeping pragmatic, rights‑focused enforcement.
