The CJEU has ruled that online marketplaces are “data controllers” under GDPR - requiring them to verify personal data in ads, especially when sensitive information is involved.

Legal experts expect this to reshape privacy compliance across the EU. Some warn the obligations may be difficult for smaller platforms to meet, while others call it a major step forward in user data protection.

What’s your take on the balance between privacy enforcement and operational feasibility?

Imagine this future scenario:

Tamas and Marie launch a startup under the EU’s virtual 28th Regime. They form an EU-INC, registered online in 24 hours via EU-REGISTRY. Early investment comes through EU-FAST, converting into shares later. Their team gets unified EU-ESOP stock options - while taxes, social security and labour rules remain under each country’s local laws.

If you want this future, tell your MEPs to push these proposals.
