We have found a number of procedural shortcomings in how @ec.europa.eu prepared legislative proposals that it considered urgent.
The proposals concerned:
☑️ Corporate sustainability (Omnibus I)
☑️ Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
☑️ Countering migrant smuggling

I profoundly dislike this new wave of uncertainty! It’s already tough to ask lawyers to step up in #Media today 🤬 However this will look like when the ink is once again dry, the amount of disinformation we’ll have to sift through to define risk & mitigating measures has already risen 📈 #ePrivacy
There is a very large loophole in that controllers claiming to be "media organisation" would not be required to respect the signal, so data subjects would not have the right to refuse their online activity being processed for behavioural advertising purposes (paragraph 3).
