This sort of anxious response is still with us today, and it
explains why some EU policymakers, when confronted with advances
in the use of data, often overreact to privacy concerns and
other anxieties by proposing policies that may create a fleeting
sense of relief but curtail the long-term economic and social
benefits of data. The latest proposal to expand EU regulation of
the data economy is built around the same 19th century fears
about a changing status quo that led to bans on cameras.
