In recent years, the European Union has become the most active regulator of digital economy companies and their business models. Since the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation, the EU has stepped up its efforts to create the regulatory framework for an effective data economy. In this context, it has enacted a host of other legal acts dealing with digital economy companies, their business models, their market power, and the management of data. However, one key conflict issue has been painstakingly left out: is personal data non-commercializable goods over which data subjects must retain comprehensive control, or is personal data an important economic good that can be made the subject of market transactions? The talk will critically analyze the regulatory architecture that has emerged in the meantime against the background of this conflict.
