Activists demanding stronger privacy protections staged a protest outside the European Commission in Brussels, urging Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to resist pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump and major tech companies.<br /><br />The demonstration coincides with the EU’s unveiling of its Digital Omnibus package, a plan to streamline AI and privacy rules. Critics argue the reforms could weaken GDPR safeguards and give companies broader access to Europeans’ personal — and even sensitive — data for AI training.<br />The proposed changes still require approval from EU member states and the European Parliament.<br /><br /><br />#EU #GDPR #Privacy #BigTech #Brussels #DigitalRights #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #DataProtection
