What happened

The CNIL plenary session on 10 September 2026 will examine a draft deliberation giving an opinion on provisions of the 2027 finance bill that would perpetuate the collection and exploitation of content from online platforms for tax administration. The agenda also includes a presentation on video‑surveillance panel models and a draft deliberation on a decree creating a "Système d’information unique pour la gestion de l’allocation personnalisée d’autonomie" (SI APA).

Why it matters for trust and compliance

  • Its status is proposed. It is not law yet. Track it, but do not treat it as an obligation.
  • The CNIL's review could shape how personal data from online platforms is collected for fiscal purposes, impacting privacy and surveillance practices.
