Simplification for Whom? Unpacking the Consumer Impact of the Digital Omnibus.
summary
Proposal claims faster market certainty but relies on a 200‑page staff document instead of a full impact assessment and meets a critical joint opinion from EDPB/EDPS that flags increased legal uncertainty. Specific changes under debate include a redefinition of personal data tied to controller capabilities, a new article 88b cookie signalling standard, and a controversial Article 9 carve‑out for AI training; enforcement tweaks (Commission competence over some big platforms) and a planned digital fitness check aim to help, but adtech, surveillance advertising and slow case resolution remain unresolved.
