The European Parliament's new rules are set to regulate targeted political advertising by requiring tech giants like Meta and Google to label political ads, disclose payment, and reveal targeted elections ahead of key EU votes next year. In the UK, the Online Safety Act enforced by Ofcom is considering laws that would require tech platforms to alert officials about new security features and potentially disable them when required, with a focus on child safety and strict penalties for noncompliance. However, the proposed Article 45 in the EU and potential UK's move to block end-to-end encryption are raising surveillance concerns as they could compromise HTTPS encryption and user security. Additionally, over 300 cybersecurity experts are opposing the EU's eIDAS digital identity reforms due to privacy and security risks.
