GDPR is cracking: Brussels rewrites its prized privacy law
… The EU executive on Wednesday will present its plan to amend the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR for short, to ease reporting requirements for small and cash-strapped businesses. That same evening, EU officials are negotiating the final details of a separate law that's meant to fix some of what's seen as the GDPR's original design flaws.

CDT Europe Joins an Open Letter Against the Reopening of GDPR
A broad coalition of 108 civil society organisations, academics, companies, trade unions, and experts, including CDT Europe, have published an open letter addressed to the European Commission’s Executive Vice-President Virkkunen, and Commissioner McGrath, to express their grave concerns regarding the ongoing proposals to reopen the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the backbone of the EU’s digital rulebook, and a hard-fought legislative achievement that sets high standards and safeguards people’s dignity in a data-driven world.

How an AI-generated summer reading list got published in major newspapers
Some newspapers around the country, including the Chicago Sun-Times and at least one edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer have published a syndicated summer book list that includes made-up books by famous authors.
Chilean American novelist Isabel Allende never wrote a book called Tidewater Dreams, described in the "Summer reading list for 2025" as the author's "first climate fiction novel."
Percival Everett, who won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, never wrote a book called The Rainmakers, supposedly set in a "near-future American West where artificially induced rain has become a luxury commodity."
Only five of the 15 titles on the list are real.

Solo attorney compared current LEXIS subscription to ChatGPT Deep Research
Via LinkedIn – Carolyn Elefant – “I just compared my current LEXIS subscription to ChatGPT Deep Research and was blown away. My takeaways:
✅
ChatGPTDeepResearch
– Comprehensive, well-organized memo.
❌ LEXIS – A big,
over-inclusive data dump
❎
ChatGPTDeepResearch
– Identified key SCOTUS precedent in first sentence.
❌ LEXIS
– Missed precedent entirely.
✅
ChatGPTDeepResearch
– Seamlessly accessible via browser
❌ LEXIS – Layers of
paywall and log-in hell.
✅
ChatGPTDeepResearch:
Part of my $200/month enterprise subscription with all other features
but can be accessed as part of $20/month subscription.
❌ LEXIS
– $270/month subscription that LEXIS has yet to update to include
all AI features like every other tech product.
Why law school professors aren’t putting out these kinds of demos daily is a mystery – or perhaps the schools’ contracts with the WEXIS duopoly bar public criticism. To view my longer blog post visit here and to see video documentation, visit this link.”

“This article is a companion to How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bot: What I Learned About AI and What You Can Too. This article helps users, especially those in dispute resolution roles, learn how to write effective prompts and engage productively with artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The goal is to make AI less intimidating and more useful – one good question at a time. The article shows how users can choose appropriate tools, formulate effective prompts, and generate useful results. It offers role-specific prompt suggestions for mediators, attorneys, disputants, ADR program managers, law school faculty, students, and scholars. These examples are designed to support clear communication, creative problem-solving, intentional practice, and continuous learning. Though focused on the Real Practice Systems Coach tool, most suggestions can be used with other AI platforms.”
