Argentina’s new trade framework with the United States includes a major digital-policy shift. Buenos Aires has agreed to recognise the U.S. as an “adequate jurisdiction” for cross-border data transfers, allowing personal data to move freely between the two countries without additional legal safeguards.

A group of 127 civil society organisations and trade unions has warned that the European Commission’s planned Digital Omnibus package could trigger the largest rollback of digital rights in EU history. In a joint statement, they say the proposals would weaken the GDPR, ePrivacy rules and the AI Act under the guise of technical simplification, opening the door to wider tracking, less accountable AI systems and reduced data protection, and urge the Commission to halt the process and uphold existing safeguards.
