The stakes at play are high. Should the giants of tech be afforded the freedom to develop and expand their business or would it be preferable to apply the brakes for the sake of our privacy? The debate this question has sparked is at once complex and sluggish, as perfectly illustrated by the laborious process leading up to the realisation of the e-privacy Regulation - which was supposed to have come into force at the same time as the GDPR. Similar debates pervade the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence arenas. Where copyright is concerned, the EU is trying to strike a balance between optimal consumer access to content and the protection of copyright owners.
