Still the #DigitalOmnibus :

Tech Policy says "What all of these changes point to is a shift away from empowering people and towards granting discretion to business. What makes the GDPR truly disruptive is that its rights-based approach puts power into the hands of data subjects, of people, and gives them tools to fight back against tech giants, powerful government agencies, and anyone else who uses their data to surveil, track or control them. In a broad sense, shifting towards a risk-based approach to digital regulation tends to allow discretion to powerful actors and creates a maze of loopholes, exemptions, and exceptions that all, ultimately, function as ways for powerful actors to avoid accountability."

@accessnow.social says "The new Commission’s decision to prioritize deregulation and securitization above all else is taking the EU in a dangerous direction; one where human rights, once seen as fundamental for the European project, are being sidelined. This will not make people’s lives easier, nor keep them safer. Rather it will transform the EU into a digital dystopia, and ultimately undermine the foundations of European democracy."

If you are interested in (and possibly want to fight) the #EU #DigitalOmnibus simplification / deregulation agenda: @socialhack and I will give a talk at the #39C3 on 27th December. https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2025/fahrplan/event/throwing-your-rights-under-the-omnibus-how-the-eu-s-reform-agenda-threatens-to-erase-a-decade-of-digital-rights

“Why should lawmakers reject the EU’s #DigitalOmnibus?”, you might ask.
Say no more: here are 🔟 reasons.

The Omnibus is being sold as a competitiveness boost but this framing misses what’s really at stake.

These changes don’t simplify, don’t support SMEs & they don’t fix enforcement. What they do is erode accountability, fragment protections, & shift power further toward actors already shaping Europe’s digital ecosystem.
