Now that we have the text of the #DMA published, let me point out a couple of outstanding provisions that have data protection implications & that show why this Regulation concerns all businesses & platform users, not only gatekeepers. Let's go 🧵 1/?

First of all, check out the list of Core Platform Services that may pull a business into the gatekeeper class (Art 2). Notably including web browsers, virtual assistants, & *online advertising services*, e.g. Exchanges, as long as they are provided by a business offering a CPS 2/ 
Today's the big day! @FTC is hosting their workshop on portability. I'll be live tweeting my thoughts and appropriately warm takes during most of the day, so stick around!
We (@Facebook) submitted our comments to @FTC on #dataportability last month. I'll be weaving our thoughts from those comments into my takes on today's session
Andrew Smith, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection kicks off highlighting privacy / personal autonomy impacts of portability and the potential competition benefits, noting it allows for collaboration across @FTC's consumer protection and competition sides #DataToGoFTC
A couple of things I noted in today's GDPR review report published by the European Commission that I find interesting:
1) The One Stop Shop mechanism came out of it stronger than I would have expected; technically, ~it needs more time to become effective~

2) There are two potential legislative updates mentioned on the long run, both of them very narrow: harmonizing the age of consent for children for online services and record keeping by SMEs. COM is giving the GDPR more time to settle in before considering any serious reviews.
3) There seems to be a preoccupation for clarifying rules related to processing of personal data for research and for the public good, particularly in relation to health - this being mentioned a couple of times in the report.

A new draft of the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 #PDPBill was released this week, and introduced in the Lok Sabha yesterday. It builds on the earlier draft prepared by the #SrikrishnaCommittee, but with a few significant changes ⬇️
The most concerning provision in the new #PDPBill is Section 35 on exceptions for the state for national security, law enforcement, sovereignty etc. It drops the legal test of ‘necessity and proportionality’ and legality, taking a huge step back on #SurveillanceReform.
#PDPBill asks some #SocialMedia platforms to give users option to voluntarily verify their identities, posing questions about #FreeSpeech and if there will be greater #Surveillance of accounts who don’t identify themselves. This provision is out of scope for a #DataProtectionLaw.
