Actual blog post: > The other big surprise of 2013 was something that didn't happen. Europe's much-ballyhooed, and much-flawed, proposal to re-write its privacy laws for the next twenty years collapsed. The old draft is dead, and something else will eventually be resurrected in its place. We'll have to wait until 2014, or perhaps even later, to learn what will replace it. Whatever comes next will be the most important privacy legislation in the world, setting the global standards. I'm hopeful that this pause will give lawmakers time to write a better, more modern and more balanced law. http://peterfleischer.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/turning-our-backs-on-2013.html http://peterfleischer.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/turning-our-bac... not all that exciting
