“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.

The EU’s Digital Omnibus Must Be Rejected by Lawmakers. Here is Why.

The Omnibus leaves gaps that undermine a rights-centred approach and expand room for dominant actors, writes Itxaso Domínguez de Olazábal.

One week ago, the @EUCommission unveiled its #DigitalOmnibus. But here is the thing: the press release doesn’t tell you what this package actually does.

So… we fixed it for them. 👇

Europe’s digital rights are on the chopping block.

We - 127 CSOs & trade unions - are sounding the alarm over the European Commission’s forthcoming #DigitalOmnibus proposals.

Behind “simplification” lies a deregulation agenda that threatens the EU's digital framework - GDPR, ePrivacy, AI Act, DSA & DMA - the very laws that keep our data safe, hold govts & corporations accountable, prevent AI from determining our life chances, & protect us from mass surveillance.

We need to oppose the European Commission's digital omnibus disaster! We need to oppose it loudly and immediately!

Not only is the leaked proposal an outright attack on our digital privacy rights. The Commission would also set whatever will be left of the GDPR up to fail eventually.
