History

Historical Context

On 25 May 2018 the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation took effect, allowing fines of up to €20 million or 4 % of global turnover. Within hours, Max Schrems’s NOYB sued Google and Facebook for forced consent, and a €50 million French fine followed in January 2019. The regulation’s legacy now shapes the EU Digital Markets Act, guiding AI collaborations such as Apple’s Siri-Google Gemini partnership.
