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.

If the EDPB doesn't oppose Meta's "Pay or Okay" model, other companies will soon follow suit.

Because privacy cannot become a privilege, we urge the EDPB, together with 28 other NGOs, to defend the fundamental right to data protection!
