After yesterday's good news, we are expecting also movement at European level.
In fact, the European Commission has announced some months ago its intention to review and modify Data Protection and Privacy laws and rights in order to update them to the state of the art technology.
The European Commissioner Viviane Reding said the new rules should encourage companies to take privacy issues into account from the beginning of a new technology's development cycle, a concept she called "privacy by design".
This means, of course, that young start-up's will need to comply to these regulations even if they are in beta format... alas, they should not function while breaching privacy laws!
