EU Digital Omnibus Draws Fire Over GDPR and AI Risks
Original: The Digital Omnibus: Trading Fundamental Rights for Corporate Profits? The EU’s Digital Omnibus promises simplification,
The European Parliament's Pirate Party is warning that the EU's Digital Omnibus package, pitched as a simplification of digital rules, could weaken GDPR protections and expand the ability of AI companies to scrape personal data. The party says it is campaigning against the changes, framing the proposal as trading fundamental rights for corporate interests. Critics argue simplification should not come at the cost of privacy safeguards, while supporters see it as cutting red tape for business.
Why now: The EU is currently debating the Digital Omnibus, and civil society groups are warning it could roll back privacy protections.
