Europe is bracing itself for a big shake-up in how we pay for things online, which will have significant consequences for businesses across the region. Similar to how GDPR hugely impacted how millions of organizations handle personal data when it was enforced last year, Strong Customer Authentication (or SCA) will have profound implications for how businesses handle online transactions and how we pay for things in our everyday lives when it is enforced on September 14.
SCA will require an extra layer of authentication for online payments. Where a card number and address once sufficed, customers will now be required to include at least two of the following three factors to do anything as simple as order a taxi or pay for a music streaming service. Something they know (like a password or PIN), something they own (like a token or smartphone), and something they are (like a fingerprint or biometric facial features).

> The right to be forgotten is a perfectly valid right
Not really, no. Does Hitler have a right to be forgotten? Does a criminal have a right to be forgotten? Do you have a right to go into everyone else's brain and erase any memory they have of you, or prevent people from talking or writing about what they remember about you?
There never was any "right to be forgotten". What there was, was a lack of rapid information propagation like there is today. If you move a few towns over, chances are they won't have heard of you fucking the pony. But there never was any right that people couldn't spread rumors if they found your pony fucking amusing.
What has to happen is that society needs to come to terms with the fact that rapid information propagation means we can't take some things for granted any more. Fake news is one symptom of this. Realizing that people are inherently stupid and there will be artifacts of their stupidity on the Web is one thing that society is going to have to learn.
