1/3 🚨 EU governments could be just days away from agreeing to a deal on the #DigitalOmnibus on Data that would weaken some of the basic protections people rely on under the #GDPR such as knowing who is using their data and why, being able to ask what data a company holds about them, and objecting to certain uses or expecting it to be kept secure.
Two things are especially worrying... 🧵

2/3 ⚠️ #AI gets special treatment. The Council text would explicitly open the door to using 'legitimate interest' for AI development and operation, making it easier to justify the reuse of huge amounts of personal data. ⚠️ The same data could end up protected in one part of the chain and outside the #GDPR in another. Same person, same information, different level of rights protection depending on who is holding it. That is a recipe for confusion, loopholes and years of legal fights.
