The ‘Digital Omnibus’ is a collection of proposals from the EU Commission to deregulate existing digital laws, which are actually there to protect people. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the AI Regulation (AI Act) will be watered down under the pretext of supposed reduction of bureaucracy .
Instead of helping ‘small and medium-sized enterprises’ or start-ups in Europe, as promised, it is primarily US big tech giants that would benefit, and the European Commission's proposals read like an implementation of the Trump administration's wish list.
The session is intended to be a networking meeting for civil society NGOs and individuals to stop the omnibus bill.
This session follows a talk on the topic on Day 1, which we therefore recommend: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/de/event/detail/throwing-your-rights-under-the-omnibus-how-the-eu-s-reform-agenda-threatens-to-erase-a-decade-of-digital-rights
