The EU is simultaneously working on five regulations that will change how we live, drive, and use the internet.
Here's what's currently in the legislative process—and what's already in effect.
Advanced Driving Cameras (ADDW)—in force since July 7, 2026. Every new car must have a camera tracking the driver's face and eyes. Officially for safety. The data is supposed to stay in the car. For now.
Active Speed Limiting (ISA)—in force since July 2024. New cars automatically limit their speed to the limit. It can be disabled, but the system resets itself.
Chat Control—still under negotiation. The project involves mass scanning of private messages for illegal content. Criticized by cybersecurity experts as the end of end-to-end encryption. Blocked several times, it's back in new versions.
Online KYC/age verification – just announced. Von der Leyen presented an app requiring ID to access certain platforms. The Vice-President of the European Commission announced that VPNs will also be regulated to ensure this cannot be bypassed.
Hate speech as an EU crime – The Commission wants to expand the list of EU crimes to include hate speech. Critics warn that the definition is so broad that it could criminalize simple political criticism.
Each of these regulations officially has a noble purpose. Together, they paint a picture of a Europe where you can say anything you say in front of a camera – and someone records it.
