Big Tech provided unredacted EU staff data for US House Judiciary Committee report attacking the EU's DSA
The European Commission may file a complaint with privacy regulators on behalf of EU staff members whose data was leaked by a US House Judiciary report targeting the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA) as censorship.
The Commission “is exploring a complaint on behalf of the affected staff members to the competent data protection authority”, it said on Wednesday, responding to MEPs who had raised data protection concerns on behalf of EU staff and civil society organisations working on the DSA.
In February, the US House Judiciary Committee published a DSA report – penned by MAGA politician Jim Jordan – which branded the online governance legislation as a “foreign censorship tool”, arguing it undermines US free speech principles.
The report revealed the names of nearly 30 EU officials and several members of civil society organisations who work on DSA enforcement by including unredacted email exchanges between EU staffers and tech companies such as Meta and Google.
