In four days, the EU Commission releases the Digital Omnibus, a proposal to "simplify" GDPR that would actually weaken privacy protections on many front: narrowing personal data definitions, giving AI companies blanket access to sensitive data, eliminating employee and journalist protections, and enabling remote device access without consent. In this video, we break down what's changing, why it matters globally, and exactly what you can do to fight back. > > Techlore empowers individuals with practical digital privacy knowledge, security tools, and advocacy resources to protect your data and reclaim your digital identity. > > 📱 RESOURCES IN VIDEO: > • NOYB: https://noyb.eu/en/eu-commission-about-wreck-core-principles-gdpr > • TechPolicy.press: https://www.techpolicy.press/eu-set-the-global-standard-on-privacy-and-ai-now-its-pulling-back/ > • EDRI: https://edri.org/our-work/forthcoming-digital-omnibus-would-mark-point-of-no-return/ > > 🔎 RELATED VIDEOS: > • https://youtu.be/wRvqdLsnsKY > • https://youtu.be/EXYATfmuf7k > > ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: > 00:00 GDPR Changes Proposed > 00:26 What Are These Big Changes? > 06:00 Why This Impacts the Entire World > 06:50 The Digital Rights Squeeze > 08:41 Upcoming Timelines To Follow > 09:16 What You Can Do! > 12:06 Final Words! > > 🔐 TECHLORE RESOURCES: > • Homepage: https://techlore.tech/ > • Go Incognito Course: https://techlore.tech/goincognito > • Forum: https://discuss.techlore.tech/ > • Privacy Tools: https://techlore.tech/resources > > 🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE: > • All Methods: https://techlore.tech/support > • Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/techlore > • YouTube Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs6KfncB4OV6Vug4o_bzijg/join > > 📺 MORE TECHLORE: > • Surveillance Report: https://www.youtube.com/@surveillancereport > • Techlore Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@techloreclips > > 🌐 FOLLOW ELSEWHERE: > • PeerTube: https://techlore.tv/ > • Mastodon: https://social.lol/@techlore > • Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/techlore.tech > • Twitter: https://twitter.com/TechloreInc > • Telegram: https://t.me/techlorefeed > #gdpr #europe #omnibus

Your data ARE under attack. 🤦‍♂️

  • I am
  • You are
  • He/she/it is
  • We are
  • You are
  • They are

I'm fairly certain that "data" falls in the "it" category

Technically "data" is plural. The single is datum.

Your datum is under attack.

Ah right... You are indeed correct in the formal definition.

But even the Merriam-Webster dictionary mentions that the word "data" is more informally being used just like the work "information".

Datum is the singular. Data is the plural.

You need a plural verb for a plural noun.

Everything past that first sentence could have, and should have been omitted.
