🚨 NEW European Parliament report:

"As the USA pressures the EU to adopt a more lenient regulatory stance, and industry voices call for a wider review of the #GDPR, the #UK's experience offers cautionary lessons. Any broader reform effort that is not carefully designed and fails to account for the public's strong data protection expectations will likely face significant opposition from civil society."
