We have analysed the real-world consequences of the main changes proposed to the GDPR, AI Act and ePrivacy Directive in the leaked EU digital Omnibus covering data and AI.

Also quite emotional as 10 years since the attack that some of my friends were caught in.

🚨Reminder: FOI Requester Training 🚨
