2025 marks a high-stakes year for enterprises navigating rapidly shifting obligations as global compliance accelerates across continents, driven by major enactments like India's DPDPA (effective July 2025) and sweeping EU frameworks. We analyze the core tensions between the EU's binding, risk-based frameworks, such as the EU AI Act banning unacceptable-risk uses and imposing extensive obligations on high-risk AI, and the accelerating fragmentation of US state privacy laws, alongside enforcement risks like unlawful oververification for opt-outs and failures to honor Global Privacy Control signals. Finally, we examine how regulations like the EU’s Digital Services Act compel Very Large Online Platforms to modify global content moderation policies, targeting non-illegal content like humor and political speech, thereby transforming the digital rights and accountability landscape worldwide.
