Privacy Regs Like GDPR Hurt Competition In The Short Term, Study Finds

Privacy regulations have the potential to consolidate market share among large technology platforms.

Here’s How The Rest Of The World Is Going After Facebook, Following Its $5B FTC Fine

There aren’t a lot of companies that can take a multibillion-dollar fine from the Federal Trade Commission in stride – and fewer still whose stock actually rises on the news.

After Google's $5B Antitrust Fine, Will GDPR Enforcement Be Next?

Google was hit with a $5.1 billion fine by the European Union on Wednesday for antitrust practices around the Android mobile operating system – a move that underscores Europe's willingness to issue steep financial penalties for bad behavior.

The GDPR Effect Will Reverberate Way Beyond Europe

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may have originated in Europe, but its reach and influence stretches across the globe, including to the US. For example, it’s actually easier for large enterprises to apply standards globally. Having already made a major effort to comply with GDPR for EU citizen data, it’s only logical to stay...

Opera Is Still Getting Acquired By A Bunch Of Chinese Companies – Just Not Its Lucrative Ads Biz

Deals fall through all the time. But the failed acquisition of Opera’s ad business could be a signal that China’s western buying spree is liable to hit a few regulatory snags.
