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.

      It was quite close that Anja Hirschel (Piratenpartei) also got a seat. Sad that it didn’t work out. I am sure she would have been as active as #1 (Czech Pirate Party - Česká pirátská strana).

        She’s only a net +1; 2 bad ammendments, 3 (relatively) good ammandments.

        She’s the worst among the “Champs”. And if you read her profile… oh boy… and what she’s done in parliament since 2025… she’s a shit person all around. A Charlie Kirk fangirl.
