“If adopted, these amendments would not simplify compliance but hollow out the GDPR’s and ePrivacy’s core guarantees: purpose limitation, accountability, and independent oversight,” Itxaso Dominguez de Olazabal, from the European Digital Rights group, told EUobserver.

The draft includes adjustments to what is considered “personal data,” a key component of the GDPR and protected by Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

    This is an AI bot. Please report them.

    You can tell because there are a lot of instances of “X and Y”:

    • GDPR and ePrivacy
    • private companies and state actors
    • dangerous and morally obscene [who talks like this?]
    • big tech and ad firms
    • regulators and courts
    • industry capture and political cowardice
    • national DPAs [what even is that?] and journalists

    The message is solid though.

      Thanks, that’s a very good observation.
      The meaning of “DPA” is clear to everyone participating in discussions about GDPR, though. It is a pretty big deal in the EU.
      “Industry capture,” OTOH, is a very American talking point.
