From August 1 2025, manufacturers face strict new requirements under the EN 18031 standards—transforming how connected devices handle security, privacy, and fraud prevention.

The Consent Paradox: How EU Regulations Enabled Corporate Data Harvesting

The European Union's cookie consent rules & guidelines, designed to protect user privacy, have paradoxically created a sophisticated surveillance infrastructure controlled by eight to ten Consent Management Platform companies. This legal essay examines how GDPR compliance requirements enabled corporate data harvesting on an unprecedented scale, with academic studies showing 85% of consent interfaces violate basic privacy requirements while websites using professional consent systems deploy 6.9 times more tracking technologies than those with basic implementations. Rather than protecting European citizens from surveillance capitalism, these regulations have institutionalized "consent theater" that legitimizes expanded data collection under the guise of user choice.

Η υφή της Διεθνούς Φορολογίας

Οι αστοχίες και οι αδυναμίες του Διεθνούς Φορολογικού Δικαίου, δηλαδή τα ολοένα και πιο συχνά εμφανιζόμενα επιχειρηματικά περιστατικά τα οποία αδυνατεί το Διεθνές Φορολογικό Δίκαιο να υπάξει και να ρυθμίσει ορθά και ηθικά έχουν κάποια αίτια.

Ενδικοφανής και εξώδικος έλεγχος Δημόσιας Διοίκησης

Ο τεράστιος σε καθήκοντα και προσωπικό Δημόσιος τομέας απαιτεί και ένα πολυεπίπεδο έλεγχο.
