Europe to slash GDPR privacy law in weeks to compete with US and China

7 April, 2025

BREAKING: Europe’s GDPR privacy law is headed for red tape bonfire within ‘weeks’

Europe's most famous technology law, the GDPR, is next on the hit list as the European Union pushes ahead with its regulatory killing spree to slash laws it reckons are weighing down its businesses.

The European Commission plans to present a proposal to cut back the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, in the next couple of weeks. Slashing regulation is a key focus for Commission President @vonderleyen, as part of an attempt to make businesses in Europe more competitive with rivals in the United States, China and elsewhere.
