"Usually, the GDPR permits processing for specific purposes (e.g. retention for tax records or fraud prevention). However, the agreed Article 88c (or Article 88bis) legitimises an entire technology. Regardless of the purpose for which it is used, any AI system could lawfully take any personal data by default. For example, the proposed Article would also permit the training and use of AI for manipulation, disinformation, the generation of nude images or killer drones, and indeed any other questionable purpose. Many processing operations that were so far illegal could suddenly become legal – just because they are done “in the context” of an AI system. For example, data processing for personal advertising purposes (without consent) is currently illegal in the EU. Now, however, advertising could suddenly become legal if it is personalised using AI technology. Max Schrems: “It’s like saying anything goes – no matter what you do – as long as it’s done with AI. If something is illegal in an Excel spreadsheet, it's legal if done with an AI agent. It’s utterly absurd to give preferential treatment to a high-risk technology over every other computer system.”" https://noyb.eu/en/ai-eu-member-states-approve-digital-expropriation-europeans-ai-companies #EU #GDPR #AI #BigTech #DataProtection #DigitalExpropriation #DigitalOmnibus

EU governments have agreed their position on the #DigitalOmnibus on Data, and AI is at the heart of it. Under the Irish Presidency, the Council has joined a deregulation project built around a dangerous idea: that Europe’s AI ambitions require feeding an ever-growing appetite for data, even if that means weakening rights people already have.

🚨Make your voices heard & #KILLTHECOOKIEBANNER. 🍪 The European Commission wants to remove the ANNOYING COOKIE BANNER,, but of course Google is lobbying against this. 🍪🙄 Worryingly, EU Member States like Germany and France also want to keep it. WHY? Tech Giants like Google make HUGE profits tracking you, so of course they don't want it to be easier for you to not consent. 😡 Say no here → https://killthecookiebanner.eu/take-action/ Find out more → https://tuta.com/blog/why-eu-member-states-and-google-want-to-keep-cookie-banner #DigitalOmnibus #EU #Google #BigTech

"The Commission’s Digital Omnibus in the iteration of the so-called ‘Data Omnibus’ proposes to rewrite Article 22, one of the GDPR’s strongest safeguards against significant decisions taken solely through automated processing. Most strikingly, it would allow automated decision-making to be considered ‘necessary’ for a contract even when the same decision could be taken by a human. That is not a minor technical adjustment. It risks turning a safeguard into an exception: if a company can say that automation is useful or efficient, the question becomes not whether a human could make the decision, but whether the company has a reason to automate it. The timing is difficult to ignore, mind you. While courts and regulators are finally showing why these safeguards matter, Brussels is considering making automated decisions easier to justify in the name of ‘efficiency’. What are we willing to give up in the name of – allegedly - making regulation simpler? If a safeguard is treated as a burden because it makes automated decision-making harder, we should at least ask whose burden we are reducing and who will carry the risk instead." https://euobserver.com/237625/computer-says-no-how-brussels-is-letting-algorithmic-social-scoring-in-by-the-backdoor #AI #EU #EC #SocialScoring #DigitalOmnibus #DataOmnibus #Algorithms

‘Computer says no’: how Brussels is letting algorithmic social-scoring in by the backdoor

Just as European courts and regulators are beginning to expose the consequences of a system of algorithmic social scoring, Brussels, with its Digital Omnibus, is considering weakening key safeguards against such automated decision-making on citizens.

🤔 How many ‘scores’ did you get today? A bank might have assessed how ‘risky’ you are to give a home loan to. A potential employer might have use an algorithm to sort your CV. AI-powered social-scoring can affect your life every day. The more vulnerable you are, the worse you fare 📈 🚨 Now, EU’s #DigitalOmnibus and #deregulation drive risk turning us into subjects of an authoritarian-scoring society. 🖋️ Read an op-ed about this potentially disastrous proposal ➡️

1/3 🚨 EU governments could be just days away from agreeing to a deal on the #DigitalOmnibus on Data that would weaken some of the basic protections people rely on under the #GDPR such as knowing who is using their data and why, being able to ask what data a company holds about them, and objecting to certain uses or expecting it to be kept secure. Two things are especially worrying... 🧵

Sehr lesenswerter Kommentar! Die geplanten Änderungen am #Informationsfreiheitsgesetz weisen (wenig überraschende) Parallelen zur geplanten Einschränkung des Auskunftsrechts nach der #DSGVO auf. Beides wird gerne als Abbau von #Bürokratie verkauft - unterm Strich steht jedoch in Deutschland wie auch auf EU-Ebene ganz klar ein Abbau der #Demokratie. #IFG #informationsfreiheit #digitalomnibus #informationelleselbstbestimmung

Kommentar: Die politische Sehnsucht nach weniger Demokratie

Informationsfreiheit, Datenschutz und Zivilgesellschaft geraten unter Druck - verkauft als Bürokratieabbau, tatsächlich aber ein Angriff auf die Demokratie.

🚌 Der Vorschlag, Cookie-Banner über den #DigitalOmnibus abzuschaffen, soll gestrichen werden. Reminder: Die Cookie-Banner sind keine Erfindung des Datenschutzes, sondern der Tracking-Industrie. #Datenschutz bietet längst bessere Lösungen: #DoNotTrack, #PrivacyByDefault und #PrivacyByDesign. Weitere Infos von @noybeu@mastodon.social: https://noyb.eu/de/eu-member-states-and-google-suddenly-want-keep-cookie-banners 🥠 Wir freuen uns darüber nur aus einem einzigen Grund: Endlich können wir die Fotos unserer Glückskekse posten. 🙃 Fotos: Photothek Liesa Johannssen

Ein Cookie-Banner braucht nur, wer mehr Daten als nötig erheben will. Weil Google mit dem Datensammeln extrem reich geworden ist, wehren sich die Lobbyisten in Brüssel mächtig gegen die Pläne der EU, das Leben von uns einfacher zu machen: Eigentlich sollten wir im Browser einstellen können, ob wir von kommerziellen Datenhändlern aller Art getrackt werden wollen oder nicht. Das aber wäre das Ende des Cookie-Banners - und vermutlich des Geschäftsmodells von Google. @netzpolitik_feed@chaos.social deckt auf: https://netzpolitik.org/2026/online-tracking-deutschland-und-google-wollen-cookie-banner-retten/ #Google #Datenschutz #cookiebanner #DigitalOmnibus #netzpolitik

Deutschland und Google wollen Cookie-Banner retten

Mit dem „Digitalen Omnibus“ will die EU nach der KI-Verordnung auch den Datenschutz schleifen. Das Gesetzespaket enthält einen einzigen Vorschlag, der nicht primär Unternehmen, sondern auch Nutzer:innen das Leben erleichtern soll. Er könnte das europäische Internet von Cookie-Bannern befreien, doch nach intensiver Lobby-Arbeit will der Rat den Artikel nun streichen.

🇪🇺 What happened to the EU Commission's plans on getting rid of cookie banners? Well, according to the Council’s latest position paper, those have been scrapped. 🚮 This is likely to result in a great deal of hassle and frustration for European users, as well as billions of clicks per year. 🍪 More info 👉 https://noyb.eu/en/eu-member-states-and-google-suddenly-want-keep-cookie-banners #DigitalOmnibus #Cookies #Privacy #EU #Google #Schrems

🍪❌ With the #DigitalOmnibus, the EU Commission FINALLY wanted to get rid of cookie banners. However, Google and some of the very EU Member States that are actually calling for simplification – including Germany and France – are now standing in the way. @maxschrems@mastodon.social Find out more 👉

Europejska Rada Ochrony Danych oraz Europejski Inspektor Ochrony Danych wydali wspólne stanowisko w sprawie #DigitalOmnibus - zbioru propozycji zmian w unijnych aktach prawnych, w szczególności #RODO. Organy te wypowiedziały się krytycznie o propozycji zmiany statusu danych spseudonimizowanych jako danych osobowych. Jednocześnie oceniają jako krok we właściwym kierunku zmiany dotyczące naruszeń (podniesienie poziomu ryzyka, uzasadniającego zgłoszenie oraz wydłużenie czasu na zgłoszenie).
