after surrendering to authorities weinstein is expected to go to a manhattan criminal court to be arraigned. you're watching t.v. news still to come we'll have more on the new e.u. legislation that better protects user data and significantly raises the fines for anyone violating the rules. stay with us. learn german with. any time any place. or with friends.

all over the world. and interact with. german to go. learn german for free. it's called the g d p e r and gives e.u. citizens better control of that data and how online services can use it as a protection activist celebrate the beginning of a new era but business analysts warn that europe's europe my regulate. business and doesn't account for small business. is the business i'm. in berlin as well on the show today on the i'm ackles visit to

china but more on that later. as of today many europeans feel they are getting their lives back at least the digital poss of it the e.u. has recognised that data is private and personal and belongs to the individual so as of today every e.u. citizen can demand that companies like facebook google or amazon tell us what kind of personal data they hold on us what they do with it and have it corrected or even deleted. whether you use the internet to search for information connect with friends or simply to do your shopping going online means sharing personal information but in many cases it's unclear exactly what happens to that data. who has access to it what can companies do with it. the new e.u. legislation aims to address some of these issues. under the

new rules companies will only be allowed to collect data relevant to their services so weather app for example won't be allowed to access your address book of photographs the new regulations also afford individuals the right to launch a complaint with the supervisory authority in their own country instead of potentially having to challenge a foreign company abroad those violating data protection rules will face harsher fines instead of the maximum three hundred thousand euros in germany companies will face up to twenty million euros in penalties or four percent of annual turnover whichever is bigger for facebook that'd be one point three billion euros. the new regulation requires companies and website operators to pay closer attention to what they do with their users information. and remaining legal anomalies likely to be settled in the courts in the coming years. consumer watchdogs have welcomed the new rules and say they give individuals more control over their personal

information. well sounds well and good but are we regulating our digital economy to dest us data protection stand of the web progress questions i want to discuss with today is a locker is a policy and politics editor motherboards germany thank you very much for coming to the studio to raise are we making life to dig difficult for the digital economy and i we actually prevent a european success story like facebook you know i think quite the opposite i think this is a decision that was long overdue and i think in the light of hacking scandal say came about every day basically in the last year or so it is an important part for growing up and i mean growing up also for businesses to handle consumer dodger and their responsible way and also having informational duties to towards the customer so i think that is a very good step mark zuckerberg who's been very much the focus of criticism

recently he said that his company has always and he had to this regulation let's just just listen in to what he said. you know people control of how they're doing is you know just has been a core principle of facebook for since the beginning. but in g.d.p. are some new controls and. some areas that we need to comply with but overall it isn't such a massive departure from how we've approached this in the past and i don't want to downplay it there are stronger roles but that where we've needed to put a bunch of work into making sure that we comply with but as a whole the philosophy behind us is not completely different from how we approach things is you right the facebook take data protection suits you know i don't think they he knows exactly how to apply these new rules to what happened with the cameras because ghana for example because otherwise this wouldn't have come about

we know that mexico would have to testify in front of the u.s. senate exactly because. troves of users were exposed to have it out exposed to third party companies absolutely no control over and most likely folk also kind of invaded a lot of critical questions by saying well i will follow up on that in written form of course because you just couldn't say who has this who has the datta so no i don't think facebook has been in a major role of the. data protection ok just recently one example of technology standing in the way i prefer to see standing in the way just recently i was looking for flats here in berlin and i looked online for flats and i checked out they wanted to check out the area with a check of the houses on google street view which i find incredibly useful this is what i got this is i don't know whether we can see if yes the many many houses here

in berlin are just blurted out because one person in the house demands that that the whole house is being. blood out we taking previously and data protection to fall well i think it is a choice and previously it is it is a choice and can be a choice and other countries can be kind of for out of this role that uses take on here because otherwise you have a lot of informational information or rights that are being used and i think that the new g.d.p. . the g.d.p. are is a step in the direction that uses can actually os companies what are you doing with my daughter who's going to see what's who's going to use going to get it so to and this is i think important also for you how you dot to travels throughout the internet because otherwise when you don't take up this right for example to see

where your dot has moved to is being moved to by one company and it can solve these mysteries of why this shoe at is following you around for years and years and years and i think this transparency is long overdue in a way thank you very much there's a locker. for last companies like facebook or google employee whole departments to make sure they comply with all relevant regulations but small companies your local had read books all boil plumber on the internet as well and the same rules apply to them many fear they might not be able to understand and comply with hundreds of pages of new rules and stuff of paper wouldn't all the new e.u. data rules have chamber of commerce president stumped as this from the course of heavy stuff from the e.u. commission a very robust tells us to keep cool the flood of information is more confusing than

helpful the law wasn't really aimed at trades people. before we go to brussels to create here that applies equally to social media giants as it does to small workshops and it's two hundred fifty six pages thick that's one page for every working day of the year it takes you all your time just to work out what they're after our members are completely overwhelmed. i loose forward because it was. the law was passed some time ago and in theory trades people have had two years to work out if they needed a ship protection manager but there are special cases such as the chambers president himself he's a professional chimneysweep with only four employees he thought he'd be exempt from the new regulations but as an official district chimneysweep he's classed as a kind of local authority. they told us the data protection

laws apply to us in two ways to me as a tradesman and to me as a menace a plethora but i am only a one man authority he knows he has to protect his company's data but should he come under the same rules as giants like facebook. that's completely wrong to say someone with only four employees who does very little data processing needs a data protection manager that's simply not true. the responsible ministry acknowledges that the rules will need fine tuning but for now the search is on for a data protection manager. i think the deadlines may twenty fifth and if i can't find someone maybe i'll just appoint my wife but what if that's much use in terms of data protection is another story altogether. friday marked the second day of german chancellor angela merkel's trip to china she was in the southern take city of shenzhen german chancellor looks at chinese
