1/4 🚨 The Digital Omnibus proposals are here - and our rights and protections online are officially under threat 🚨
The proposals published today endanger the very core of EU's digital protections for people - the #GDPR, #ePrivacy and the #AIAct.
Weakening these safeguards would entrench #surveillance, profiling and algorithmic #discrimination in every aspect of society 🙅🏾

2/4 What do the #DigitalOmnibus proposals mean for our #DataProtection and #privacy?
🚩weaken ePrivacy rules, opening the door to constant tracking of phones, cars, and smart devices
🚩 reopen and hollow out the GDPR, allowing corporations to mark their own homework
🚩create a digital environment where state actors and corporate powers – especially Big Tech - gain more freedom to collect and exploit personal information
