🚧 Europe faces a defining choice: uphold our digital laws & defend European digital self-determination, or cave to pressure from Trump, Big Tech and corporate lobbies. 🪧 Yesterday in Brussels, with @PeopleVsBigTech, we launched mobile billboards urging the @European Commission to stand up for its citizens & democracy. The “Digital Omnibus” would reopen and weaken the GDPR, ePrivacy & the AI Act, lowering safeguards & expanding surveillance by both states & corporations ➡️

The European Commission has published two Digital Omnibus proposals, reopening the EU’s core protections against harm in the digital age.

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 🙅🏾 Read our press release for more details:

🗳️ Last Thursday, the European Parliament approved the EU–Singapore Digital Trade Agreement, rejecting a motion to refer it to the Court of Justice for a legality check. Under the banner of “free trade,” this binding deal prioritises business over privacy, accountability, and democratic control of digital systems. What’s at stake isn’t just one agreement with Singapore: embedding weak safeguards in trade law now could lock in lower standards for years to come. More ➡️

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. ✉️ :

Forthcoming Digital Omnibus would mark point of no return - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

133 civil society organisations and unions are urging the European Commission to halt its planned Digital Omnibus.

The European Parliament’s LIBE Committee has backed a new Europol Regulation granting the agency unprecedented powers to collect, process & share personal data — including biometrics & facial recognition — with non-EU states. 👁️‍🗨️ If approved in plenary later this month, it will hand Europol vast surveillance powers, further entrenching the EU’s criminalisation of migration & solidarity. 🗳️ MEPs still have one last chance to stop this dystopian reform: vote NO in plenary.
