Easier Online Platform Switching and Data Control
This new law aims to make it easier for users to transfer their data between large communication platforms and use various services without losing access to their content. This will give citizens greater control over their data and allow them to switch service providers more easily, increasing competition in the market.
Key points
Easier Data Portability: You can transfer your data (e.g., messages, photos) from one large communication platform to another competing service.
Greater Account Control: You can authorize a trusted third-party agent to manage your online interactions and account settings on your behalf.
Increased Competition: Large platforms must cooperate with smaller companies, potentially leading to better services and more choices for you.
Data Protection: Companies accessing your data must secure it properly and cannot use it for commercial purposes without your consent.
