WARSAW, Poland, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a landmark move to strengthen individual rights within the European Union, Mr. Robert Szustkowski has issued the Open Letter to the European Commission, advocating for the expansion of the EU’s “Right to be Forgotten” law. This proposal seeks to classify news media outlets as data controllers responsible for managing personal information, a change that could transform digital privacy and reputation management.

Addressing Executive Vice-President Jourova and Commissioner Reynders, Mr. Szustkowski highlights the need for updated regulations to protect individuals’ personal rights in the digital age. The original “Right to be Forgotten” law, introduced by former European Commissioner Viviane Reding in 2012, was a pioneering step in data protection. However, with the rapid growth of digital information sharing, Mr. Szustkowski calls for extension of the law to news media outlets.

The primary goal of Mr. Szustkowski’s initiative is to introduce procedures for safeguarding the European Union Community against disinformation by giving individuals additional tools to protect their image.

Mr. Szustkowski draws on his own experiences as a victim of continuous media “lynching” in Poland that tarnish his reputation, despite multiple court rulings in his favor. These relentless attacks highlight a significant gap in current regulations, where media outlets often hide behind claims of editorial independence and press freedom to justify publishing defamatory articles.

Mr. Szustkowski advocates respect for both the protection of personal rights and freedom of speech, arguing that individuals should have the right to remove false, undocumented or irrelevant information from the media that harms their reputation. This could be achieved by categorizing media entities as data controllers, making them responsible for the accuracy and rectification of information connected to personal data they publish. Furthermore, the initiative calls on the European Commission to establish clear guidelines for media publishers, including legal liability for breaches of the Directive. In this regard, media outlets should establish documented rules for approving sensitive articles to ensure accuracy and prevent damage to individuals’ reputations. Finally, information about personal data breaches should be widely available, raising public awareness and ensuring media accountability.

Extending the “Right to be Forgotten” law to news media outlets is essential to create tools to protect the reputation of EU citizens and help prevent disinformation across the European Union, says Szustkowski.

Synapse fintech’s revolutionary banking model gets FDIC nod: promise and concerns

Peter Tolan

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) recently approved Synapse Fintech’s innovative banking model, creating a stir in the financial sector.

This forward-thinking initiative has the potential to transform the banking industry, but it also raises questions about its practicality and potential risks.

A Revolutionary Banking Model

Synapse, a San Francisco-based fintech start-up, has received praise for its tech-driven approach to banking, leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company aims to provide a seamless and dynamic banking experience, offering a variety of services such as personal and business bank accounts, high-yield savings accounts, and cryptocurrency wallets, all on one platform.

By integrating traditional banking with fintech innovations, Synapse could revolutionize conventional banking practices, making financial transactions more efficient, convenient, and secure.

The Appeal of Synapse’s Approach

Synapse’s model is particularly appealing due to its focus on serving the ‘underbanked’ and ‘unbanked’ populations, who often face significant barriers to accessing traditional financial services. Synapse aims to bridge the financial inclusion gap by offering an affordable, streamlined banking solution.

Concerns Over Regulatory Approval

The FDIC’s approval of Synapse’s banking model has sparked some concerns. Despite its disruptive potential, questions remain about Synapse’s ability to ensure regulatory compliance and manage risks within its ambitious framework.

The regulatory environment for fintech companies like Synapse is complex and constantly evolving. They must navigate challenges such as compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations, maintaining data privacy, and managing credit and operational risks.

The Need for Robust Risk Management

In the rapidly changing fintech landscape, robust, scalable, and adaptable risk management frameworks are crucial. To gain the trust of users and regulators, fintech companies like Synapse must demonstrate their ability to manage risks and maintain regulatory compliance while continuing to innovate.

Moving Forward

As the financial world closely watches Synapse’s progress, it is essential for investors and consumers to stay informed and vigilant. Synapse’s developments reflect the growing intersection of technology and finance, highlighting the importance of balancing innovation with financial stability and consumer protection.

While change and innovation are vital for progress, they must not compromise financial stability and consumer safety.
