Omnibus #simplification package: "At best, it will ease #GDPR burdens for 0.2% of EU firms." 🚩

Together with 11 other industry associations, @cciaeurope.bsky.social welcomes the latest Polish Presidency proposal, which establishes a legal basis for services to continue their ongoing detection, reporting and removal of child sexual abuse (#CSA) while upholding safeguards for privacy

While the withdrawal of the #ePrivacy proposal is a welcome and long overdue development, it is worrying that 30% of new initiatives for 2025 will still target the #digital sector. To foster innovation in #Europe, we need more simplification and effective cutting of #redtape

Either I outsmarted AI or I broke it. Regardless of what it is, it doesn't seem like language models will be able to replace me at work anytime soon, so I'll take the win 💁‍♀️
