The European Commission presented the "Digital Omnibus" plan on November 19, 2025, aimed at revising digital legislation. As reported by Reuters, the initiative proposes simplifying and partially softening GDPR and AI Act regulations. A key change could be permitting the use of personal data for AI training based on "legitimate interest," as well as simplifying the registration of certain high-risk systems. The goal is to eliminate regulatory overlap and stimulate innovation, though rights advocates have already dubbed the package the "biggest rollback of digital rights" in EU history.
