Summary

The new "Digital Omnibus" from the European Commission is presented as a simple "simplification," but in practice, it undermines important safeguards in the GDPR, the ePrivacy regulations, and the AI Act. It would make access to device data easier, weaken restrictions on automated decision-making, and reduce protection against discriminatory AI.
