The European Parliament adopted the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act, Reuters reports. Companies face a fine of up to 10% of annual global turnover for violations of the DMA, which requires providing business users access to their data, and 6% for violations of the DSA, banning dark patterns and targeted advertising aimed at children or based on sensitive data. Civil society groups said enforcement is a concern, while European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton said the “new harmonised rules will apply directly and uniformly anywhere in Europe.” Editor’s note: The IAPP Westin Research Team created an infographic that provides an update on the various EU data initiatives and draft legislation in play.
