📃 noyb has compiled a 71-page report on the Digital Omnibus proposal. In it, we discuss relevant changes to the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. We also discuss the impact on data subjects, authorities and controllers.

The other day, @noybeu published a great video explaining whats is wrong with the Digital Omnibus, a bundle of laws the EU commission wants to pass quickly in order to weaken the data protection standards the EU previously established in the GDPR.

My favourite quote is what @maxschrems says around minute 42:

When we talk about the AI discussion I usually kind of allude that originally when we came up with all those principles in the eighties in the Council of Europe, the idea was always that we are going to have this big algorithm that is going to suck up all your data, come to weird conclusions, and therefore we need transparency, rectification – we need all these things. And now, exactly at the time when this is the reality then suddenly the argument is we have to get rid of all these rules that were made for exactly this situation. So all this icks me a bit on all of that.
If you read it you sometimes get the idea that the commission wants to get to the AI promised land. And to get there we need to cut right through the whole GDPR.

1/4 🚨 The Digital Omnibus proposals are here - and our rights and protections online are officially under threat 🚨

The proposals published today endanger the very core of EU's digital protections for people - the #GDPR, #ePrivacy and the #AIAct.

Weakening these safeguards would entrench #surveillance, profiling and algorithmic #discrimination in every aspect of society 🙅🏾

Read our press release for more details: https://edri.org/our-work/commissions-digital-omnibus-is-a-major-rollback-of-eu-digital-protections/

Today, the Commission unveiled its Digital Omnibus Package, reopening and weakening key elements of the EU’s digital rulebook.

The package introduces changes that would allow providers of high-risk AI systems to avoid core obligations, expand exemptions far beyond SMEs, and delay essential protections people most affected by AI.

Europe’s digital future must remain grounded in rights, oversight & democratic accountability, not deregulation disguised as simplification.
