First came the yodeling, then the pain. The online entrepreneurs and venture capitalists at DLD, a geeks' shindig this month in Munich, barely had time to recover from their traditional Bavarian entertainment before Viviane Reding, the European Union's justice commissioner, introduced a new privacy regulation. Ms Reding termed personal data the "currency" of the digital economy. "And like any currency it needs stability and trust," Ms Reding told the assembled digerati. The EU's effort (formally published on January 25th) is part of a global government crackdown on the commercial use of personal information.
