Europe’s digital rights are on the chopping block.

We - 127 CSOs & trade unions - are sounding the alarm over the European Commission’s forthcoming #DigitalOmnibus proposals.

Behind “simplification” lies a deregulation agenda that threatens the EU's digital framework - GDPR, ePrivacy, AI Act, DSA & DMA - the very laws that keep our data safe, hold govts & corporations accountable, prevent AI from determining our life chances, & protect us from mass surveillance.

@edri simplification is not an objective per se. It consists in replacing means for achieving objectives by simpler means for achieving the same objectives. However, if a change of procedures impacts the objectives, then this change of procedures is NOT a simplification AT ALL. Therefore, speaking of simplification is completely misleading here!
