What the heck is Privacy Shield, and why should application and other software developers care? The answer, in part, is that developers everywhere are looking at a future where data is either free to flow or blocked at the border; circulating inside two completely disconnected clouds or in one. It’s important enough that policy heavyweights from the US and EU are taking the time to meet face to face this week in DC to discuss the future shape of the internet with (hopefully) or without (catastrophe) it.
The negotiations on the ePrivacy Regulation are in full swing. In order to respect the ambitious timeline proposed by the Commission, the European Parliament is already in an advanced stage of the internal discussion and the Council is getting ready to further move forward the dossier.
On 27 June, the Developers Alliance organized a Tech Policy Dialogue on “The Next Challenges for the EU Mobile Economy” in Brussels. The session brought together representatives from the EU institutions and the industry to explore the state of competition in Europe and discuss the role of government in the app marketplace.
The European Parliament and EU Council are currently actively working on a new ePrivacy Regulation intended to replace the outdated 2002 ePrivacy Directive. The new framework, better known as the “cookie law,” sets new standards for securing online communications and tracking confidentiality.
