Show Notes
The European Commission has introduced the "Digital Omnibus," a sweeping legislative package designed to streamline digital rules like the GDPR and AI Act to reduce administrative burdens and foster innovation. However, privacy experts warn that shifting to a subjective definition of "personal data" and creating broad commercial exemptions for "scientific research" could severely undermine fundamental rights and generate significant legal uncertainty. We analyze the clash between the Commission's promise of €5 billion in compliance savings and the potential erosion of data protection enforcement across Europe.
