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.

I'm studying cybersec compliance........ my exam might just get a whole lot easier.

on the one hand; "yay, easy exam!".... on the other, " booooo, shittier privacy protections".

I'm rather conflicted.
