The EU is Pushing to Weaken Privacy Rules for AI

Time is running out: the EU’s Data Omnibus could give AI companies easier access to our personal data—at the expense of privacy.

Liberties.EU @liberties.eu · 25/09/2026

The argument? Helping European AI compete with US and Chinese companies. But the proposed rules could benefit all companies operating in Europe—including Big Tech. /2

Nobody has been convicted of commissioning her murder. Last week, a jury acquitted Yorgen Fenech, one of Malta's most prominent businessmen, of complicity in the assassination and criminal association. Nine years on, and still no justice. /5

"The rule of law is not an abstract principle discussed only in courtrooms. It means that allegations of corruption are properly investigated. It means that journalists can investigate those in power without fear. It means that civil society can ask difficult questions and demand answers." /3

Poland introduces new law against SLAPP lawsuits aimed at silencing critics

010

Liberties.EU @liberties.eu · 24/06/2026

The Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, Liberties’ Polish member, has played an important role in supporting those targeted by SLAPPs. The organization provides legal assistance to journalists, activists, whistleblowers, bloggers, academics, and engaged citizens facing abusive legal proceedings./5

120

Liberties.EU @liberties.eu · 24/06/2026

Its adoption is particularly significant given that Poland has long recorded one of the highest numbers of SLAPP cases in the EU. Because most of these lawsuits are filed domestically, the law’s protections extend beyond the cross-border cases covered by the EU Directive. /4

110

Liberties.EU @liberties.eu · 24/06/2026

Poland’s new Anti-SLAPP Act is among the most comprehensive in Europe, closely aligning with Council of Europe standards and going beyond the minimum requirements of the EU Anti-SLAPP Directive./3 www.mfrr.eu/poland-mfrr-...

The solution is clear: protect the integrity of the AI Act, preserve strong transparency and accountability obligations, and stop using fast-track processes to weaken digital rights protections. We deserve AI rules that protect our rights to be enforced—not dismantled before they even take effect.

010

Liberties.EU @liberties.eu · 15/06/2026

AI in machinery would increasingly fall under sectoral legislation, creating loopholes that benefit industry interests. The AI Omnibus is one in a series of proposals. We are concerned that, if successful, it could encourage further weakening of digital rights laws adopted over the last decade. /4

110

Liberties.EU @liberties.eu · 15/06/2026

Registration remains mandatory for all AI systems, but weakened transparency obligations mean providers will disclose less information to the public. The proposal risks blurring the distinction between data protection and broader rights safeguards, potentially reducing rights-based scrutiny. /3

110

Liberties.EU @liberties.eu · 15/06/2026

The proposal is part of a wider deregulatory trend, using fast-track Omnibus processes to amend multiple laws at once, often without proper impact assessment. Key protections are being delayed. Some high-risk AI systems may not be subject to all safeguards until 2027 or 2028. /2

110

Liberties.EU @liberties.eu · 15/06/2026

🗳️ Tomorrow, the European Parliament is set to vote on the AI Omnibus. If the vote passes, it will weaken AI Act protections, delay enforcement of key provisions, and empower industry actors. What is changing? And why should you be concerned? /1
