This nice and vague part of the legislation sounds like an insurmountable hurdle to me:
> a) a list and explanation of the data that the digital platform service collects (whether or not it shares the data with the registered news business) about the registered news business’ users through their engagement with covered news content made available by the digital platform service;
> c) a list and explanatio nof the data that the digital platform service currently has a practice of making available to registered news businesses;
> e) information about how the registered news business corporation can gain access to the data mentioned in paragraphs (a)and (c).
Google/Facebook may not even have the architecture to supply all that information to begin with. And if they did, this is beyond just analytics. It seems to be requiring the companies hand over what allows them to be competitive at all.
