In this video, we break down what’s changing, why it matters globally, and exactly what you can do to fight back. > > > > Techlore empowers individuals with practical digital privacy knowledge, security tools, and advocacy resources to protect your data and reclaim your digital identity. > > > > 📱 RESOURCES IN VIDEO: > > • NOYB: https://noyb.eu/en/eu-commission-about-wreck-core-principles-gdpr [https://noyb.eu/en/eu-commission-about-wreck-core-principles-gdpr] > > • TechPolicy.press: https://www.techpolicy.press/eu-set-the-global-standard-on-privacy-and-ai-now-its-pulling-back/ [https://www.techpolicy.press/eu-set-the-global-standard-on-privacy-and-ai-now-its-pulling-back/] > > • EDRI: https://edri.org/our-work/forthcoming-digital-omnibus-would-mark-point-of-no-return/ [https://edri.org/our-work/forthcoming-digital-omnibus-would-mark-point-of-no-return/] > > > > 🔎 RELATED VIDEOS: > > • https://youtu.be/wRvqdLsnsKY [https://youtu.be/wRvqdLsnsKY] > > • https://youtu.be/EXYATfmuf7k [https://youtu.be/EXYATfmuf7k] > > > > ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: > > 00:00 GDPR Changes Proposed > > 00:26 What Are These Big Changes? > > 06:00 Why This Impacts the Entire World > > 06:50 The Digital Rights Squeeze > > 08:41 Upcoming Timelines To Follow > > 09:16 What You Can Do! > > 12:06 Final Words! > > > > 🔐 TECHLORE RESOURCES: > > • Homepage: https://techlore.tech/ [https://techlore.tech/] > > • Go Incognito Course: https://techlore.tech/goincognito [https://techlore.tech/goincognito] > > • Forum: https://discuss.techlore.tech/ [https://discuss.techlore.tech/] > > • Privacy Tools: https://techlore.tech/resources [https://techlore.tech/resources] > > > > 🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE: > > • All Methods: https://techlore.tech/support [https://techlore.tech/support] > > • Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/techlore [https://www.patreon.com/techlore] > > • YouTube Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs6KfncB4OV6Vug4o_bzijg/join [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs6KfncB4OV6Vug4o_bzijg/join] > > > > 📺 MORE TECHLORE: > > • Surveillance Report: https://www.youtube.com/@surveillancereport [https://www.youtube.com/@surveillancereport] > > • Techlore Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@techloreclips [https://www.youtube.com/@techloreclips] > > > > 🌐 FOLLOW ELSEWHERE: > > • PeerTube: https://techlore.tv/ [https://techlore.tv/] > > • Mastodon: https://social.lol/@techlore [https://social.lol/@techlore] > > • Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/techlore.tech [https://bsky.app/profile/techlore.tech] > > • Twitter: https://twitter.com/TechloreInc [https://twitter.com/TechloreInc] > > • Telegram: https://t.me/techlorefeed [https://t.me/techlorefeed] > > #gdpr #europe #omnibus

Your data ARE under attack. 🤦‍♂️

I am You are He/she/it is We are You are They are

I’m fairly certain that “data” falls in the “it” category

Datum is the singular. Data is the plural.

You need a plural verb for a plural noun.

Ah right… You are indeed correct in the formal definition.

But even the Merriam-Webster dictionary mentions that the word “data” is more informally being used just like the work “information”.
