European Commission Proposes Big Rollback of GDPR and AI Rules
EU proposes easing GDPR and postponing stricter AI rules, sparking privacy backlash.
The European Commission introduced a digital regulation simplification plan that would relax parts of GDPR and delay enforcement of some high-risk AI rules until 2027.
The proposal enables AI firms to use pseudonymized personal data more freely and simplifies cookie consent - reducing compliance burdens. While proponents argue it will boost Europe’s competitiveness in tech, privacy advocates warn it weakens citizens' digital rights.
