> If I go to a clinic, they ask me to side load an app while I’m sick, and that app has no real privacy protections… That behavior should also be regulated, because the app is collecting medical information. I'd much rather the government regulate this than some self-interested tech company which promotes privacy if and when it's financially expedient for them.

Will that be regulated, though? It looks to me like the EU is just taking steps to give companies freedom (by allowing sideloading) but no steps to regulate that freedom (by enshrining app privacy into law).

  PII is already heavily regulated in eu and harmonized since years, most eu nations have even more stringent laws on medical and sexual pii data
