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.
