“If adopted, these amendments would not simplify compliance but hollow out the GDPR’s and ePrivacy’s core guarantees: purpose limitation, accountability, and independent oversight,” Itxaso Dominguez de Olazabal, from the European Digital Rights group, told EUobserver.

The draft includes adjustments to what is considered “personal data,” a key component of the GDPR and protected by Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

      You appeared to be arguing that there was some other reason, so I was asking what you thought that reason was.

      Which, in turn, makes it easier to do.

      If you don’t think it makes it easier then we’re back at square one, you don’t seem to be presenting any reason why this change would be made.
