The Digital Omnibus proposal – key changes to EU digital and data legislation
The EU Digital Omnibus proposal aims to simplify and streamline aspects of the EU's digital legislation framework. In two parts, it covers 'quick fixes' for some of the pain points in the AI Act, and amends the data acquis, most notably the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive and the Data Act. We look at some of the most significant elements and at what they will mean in practice if they go through as currently drafted.

MoreData sharing
Data exports continue to be high on the agenda but data sharing (of personal and non-personal data) is being looked at much more widely by the EU and the UK in the context of providing individuals with control over their data, opening up the potential of big data, and breaking down barriers to competition. We look at incoming EU legislation relating to data sharing with particular focus on the draft Data Act, as well as at the ICO's Code of Practice on Data Sharing, Privacy Shield 2.0 and data sharing requirements for the UK's Pensions Dashboard.
MoreHealth data – getting the right balance between innovation and data protection
Personal health data attracts special protection but also benefits from exemptions under UK and EU data protection law. Have legislators and regulators got the balance between innovation and privacy right or do the rules overly restrict advances in healthcare provision and research?
MoreData protection, freedom of expression, journalism and the media
We look at the UK's implementation of the GDPR journalistic exemption, at the ICO's recently published draft Code of Practice on journalism, the use of data protection law in media cases, and at the tensions between the right to privacy and to freedom of expression.
