Following a dialogue with EU consumer protection authorities and the European Commission (CPC network), WhatsApp committed to being more transparent on changes to its terms of service. Moreover, the company will make it easier for users to reject updates when they disagree with them, and will clearly explain when such rejection leads the user to no longer be able to use WhatsApp's services. Also, WhatsApp confirmed that users' personal data are not shared with third-parties or other Meta companies - including Facebook - for advertising purposes. The dialogue was coordinated by the Swedish Consumer Agency and the Irish Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and facilitated by the Commission.

In a closed-door meeting with EU lawmakers, the European Data Protection Supervisor criticised the proposal to fight Child Sexual Abuse Material as trying to mask breaches of fundamental rights.
The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), the authority responsible for advising EU institutions on privacy matters, took an outspoken, critical stance on the draft law in a joint opinion with the European Data Protection Board.
When the European Commission published the proposal to fight the dissemination of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) in May, it was criticised as the legislation includes the possibility for judges to issue detection orders for interpersonal communication services.

The new compromise on the draft data law, seen by EURACTIV, further refines the protection of trade secrets and clarifies the relationship with data protection rules and the application of the cloud-switching provisions.
The Swedish presidency shared the sixth compromise text on the Data Act on Wednesday (8 March), with the view of discussing it on 14 March at the Telecom Working Party, a technical body of the EU Council.
The Data Act is a flagship legislative proposal intended to regulate how data is shared, accessed and ported. If no significant opposition is raised next week, the presidency’s text will land on the Committee of Permanent Representatives (COREPER) table on 22 March.

@EuropeanCommission
Are you curious to know about how the EU protects you online? New rules introduced in the DSA will work to create a fairer and safer online world.
There are many ways to spend time and find information online, whether you are connecting with friends, browsing social media or like three-quarters of the EU population, doing some online shopping.
But, how confident are you of the sources you are buying from? Do you know why you are being recommended certain products? And what happens when our connections online turn sour, or if your content gets blocked on social media with no explanation?
These are all questions that the European Union is addressing to make sure the digital world is safe and fair for all of us.

https://www.enisa.europa.eu/publications/cybersecurity-of-ai-and-standardisation
The overall objective of the present document is to provide an overview of standards (existing, being drafted, under consideration and planned) related to the cybersecurity of artificial intelligence (AI), assess their coverage and identify gaps in standardisation. It does so by considering the specificities of AI, and in particular machine learning, and by adopting a broad view of cybersecurity, encompassing both the ‘traditional’ confidentiality–integrity–availability paradigm and the broader concept of AI trustworthiness. Finally, the report examines how standardisation can support the implementation of the cybersecurity aspects embedded in the proposed EU regulation laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (COM(2021) 206 final) (draft AI Act).

The EU lawmakers spearheading the work on the AI Act pitched significant obligations for providers of large language models like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion while seeking to clarify the responsibilities alongside the AI value chain.
The AI Act is a flagship EU legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its capacity to cause harm. A big question mark in the negotiations of the legislative proposal is how to deal with General Purpose AI (GPAI), large language models that can be adapted for various tasks.
The offices of the European Parliament’s co-rapporteurs, Dragoș Tudorache and Brando Benifei, shared on Tuesday (14 March) a first draft on this sensitive topic, proposing some obligations for the providers of this type of AI models and responsibilities for the different economic actors involved.
General Purpose AI is an “AI system that is trained on broad data at scale, is designed for generality of output, and can be adapted to a wide range of tasks”.

Diesel exhaust treatment software that shuts down below certain temperatures is illegal and such car owners are entitled to seek compensation, the EU’s top court said Tuesday (21 March), opening the door to a fresh wave of “dieselgate” suits.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) said “the purchaser of a vehicle equipped with an unlawful defeat device has a right to compensation from the car manufacturer where that device has caused damage to that purchaser”.
The judgement paves the way for a wave of fresh compensation claims against carmakers that equipped diesel cars with so-called “thermal window” software.

“The American people need the truth about the threat TikTok poses to our national and personal security,” committee chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wa.) said in her opening statement, concluding that “TikTok is a weapon.”
Rodgers suggested that even for Americans who have never used the app, “TikTok surveils us all, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is able to use this as a tool to manipulate America as a whole.”

Launched in March 2023, the EDPS is taking part in the European Data Protection Board’s (EDPB) Coordinated Enforcement Action on the role and tasks of data protection officers, alongside 26 data protection authorities of the EU and the European Economic Area (EU/EEA).
Wojciech Wiewiórowski, EDPS, said: “The role of a data protection officer is crucial in ensuring that data protection law is applied within entities in the EU, and within EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (EUIs). By bridging the gap between EU data protection law and its practical application, data protection officers help to promote the effective protection of individuals’ privacy and personal data. Cooperating with the EDPB aims to facilitate the consistent and coherent application of data protection law, its principles, and good practices across the EU/EEA.”
