Member states, the European Parliament, and the Commission have reached
a consensus on the Declaration of Digital Rights and Principles.
Although it aims to serve as a reference point for the digital
transformation of Europe, it instead descends into murky waters,
causing ambiguity. Its wording is unclear and it overlooks existing
good proposals.
