If the European Commission and the EU Member States have their way, the so-called Digital Omnibus will result in a fundamental change to EU privacy laws. But what about the European Parliament? To find out more, noyb has analysed more than 1,000 amendments that Members of Parliament (MEPs) have tabled for the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive to shed a light on their actions. This shows that many MEPs are in favour of stripping people of their privacy rights – while others still push back.

Go to gdpr-omnibus.eu to see who tries to defend your privacy and who wants to undermine currently existing protections. Look up your MEP by country and political group.

    That’s it, VOLT just has earned my vote on the european level. I liked them before, but what Damian does in parliament needs my support and will get it.

    Truth: You’re on your own, no matter the governing party. The greedy bastards have taken the reigns & it’s up to individuals to stand up to the constructs of trending society which is owned by corporations and sponsored ambassadors.

      Now why do I know based on your comment that you’ve never lived in Europe nor do you have any idea how the EP works.
