In a nutshell: genuine simplification should make rules clearer, enforcement stronger & justice accessible.
Simplification means:
✅ Clearer rules and stronger enforcement
✅ Strengthen protections for people, not weaken them
✅ Ensure equal access to rights for all communities, especially those most affected by technology harms.
Anything less risks rolling back years of progress, putting 500 million people at risk of privacy, equality, and security breaches.

The European Commission has made deregulation a top priority for the EU over the next four years. Under the banner of ‘simplifying’ EU rules, we risk seeing the entire digital rulebook – for which we have advocated for years – being stripped away.
