🎁 Just before the holidays, the European Commission granted Big Tech its Christmas wish-list: an unprecedented attack on our digital rights.
Together with LobbyControl, we analysed the proposed Digital Omnibus and mapped how closely it aligns with Big Tech’s lobbying demands. The result is alarming: what’s being framed as “cutting red tape” is actually about cutting rights.

Promotional graphic from Corporate Europe Observatory announcing a “New article” titled “Article by article, how Big Tech shaped the EU’s roll-back of digital rights.” The image shows a truck with a large digital billboard parked outside an EU institutional building with EU flags. The billboard displays portraits of several public figures and political slogans, while the Corporate Europe Observatory logo and website appear on the left on a teal background.

In a new analysis we trace Big Tech's fingerprints on the Digital Omnibus proposals - a major deregulation of EU digital laws including the GDPR and the AI Act. They are helped in this attempt by the Trump administration and the European far right.

@corporateeurope for those interested, linking to a related 39c3 talk that captures the scale of changes proposed - including the attempt to redefine "personal data"
