Paragraph 7 of the opening statement referred to changes to the data protection legal framework and pointed out that the DPC has no regulatory competence in law for many contemporary issues, including fake news, online context moderation and Internet safety. Has the commission a view on a digital safety commissioner and on the debate on fake news? Has it examined what has happened elsewhere?
