Digital Omnibus Seen as Threat to Core Digital Rights, Says LibertiesEU
LibertiesEU warns that the EU’s digital-simplification bill undermines AI protections and privacy rights.
Digital-rights group LibertiesEU has slammed the European Commission’s “Digital Omnibus” proposal as a serious threat to fundamental protections. The group argues that delaying high-risk AI rules and loosening GDPR enforcement represents a rollback of critical rights, particularly for biometric and algorithmic systems.
The reform, they say, disproportionately benefits Big Tech and undermines EU leadership in digital regulation. Civil society is calling for more accountability and safeguards in how the omnibus is negotiated.
