Trump's policy endangers data protection: what kind of companies?
The latest developments in the United States could have a significant impact on security and data protection. According to reports from ÖA>, the abolition of the reporting obligation for car accidents with advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous technologies is in the room. This regulation, which currently enables the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to analyze accident data and identify security problems, could be deleted by the new recommendation of Donald Trump's transitional government. Such a procedure would particularly favor manufacturers such as Tesla, who had to report many accidents on the basis of this provision and thereby got into the focus of various investigations.
The NHTSA has repeatedly spoken out for maintaining the reporting obligation, since it is crucial for the evaluation of new technologies and has already led to recalls due to security problems. In the past, Elon Musk has criticized the existing regulations as unfair and requires a uniform approval structure. However, experts warn of the risks associated with the abolition of the reporting obligation, including a lesser ability from the government to effectively address security issues.
data protection in danger
Die politischen Entwicklungen könnten sich auch auf den Datenschutz auswirken, insbesondere in Anbetracht von Trumps Rückkehr ins Weiße Haus, wie Security Insider reported. The newly elected president could overturn existing data protection agreements between the United States and the EU, which would result in potentially uncertainties and challenges for European companies. This would be particularly problematic, since the current data protection framework has just been updated after earlier regulations have been invalid for European citizens due to inadequate protective measures.
In the event of revision or even abolishing these regulations, European companies have to prepare for alternative mechanisms for data transmission, which could increase complexity and legal risks. In the past, companies have also reported that the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is often perceived as difficult, which further increases the concerns about a possible revision of data protection regulations.
