Hello people!
The Commission has put out their public consultation questionnaire on #dataretention 💀
Deadline: 12 September - we have time :)
⚠️ WATCH OUT some of the questions are REALLY tricky and misguiding.
@edri@eupolicy.social will put out during the summer an answering guide to help you understand the intentions and context behind some of these questions & hopefully to avoid falling in some of these traps 🕳️
Follow @edri@eupolicy.social and look out for the answering guide ✌️
With @je5perl@eupolicy.social and other EDRi members, we just submitted our "feedback" to the European Commission's terrible plans regarding mass data retention :blobPikaFail:
The number of submissions is soon reaching 5000 (!), with a fight between police authorities and very critical & concerned individuals.
Would you like to join the party?🥳 You have until midnight today 🕛
(💡ProTip: a few lines to say that this is a bad idea is enough)
@je5perl@eupolicy.social and I have tried to make it as easy as possible :blobPikaFail: to understand the implications of the #HADOPI judgment by the Court of Justice of the EU ⚖️ for the upcoming new EU #DataRetention legislative proposal (due in 2026)
Technical but important for digital rights and the fight against mass surveillance👇

E2EE apps are vilified as tools "for organising actions, promoting ideologies, and mobilising supporters".
The criminalisation of privacy-enhancing tools (in judicial cases like the French 8 December case or in the media) has been a very efficient tactic by law enforcement to demand encryption backdoors or what the ProtectEU strategy calls "lawful and effective access to data"...#SupportDontPunish Campaign @sdpcampaign@bird.makeup
"👁️ 🔍 🔒 A couple of weeks ago, our workshop at #EHRC2024 energised an important conversation about the intersections of state violence, racism and technology.
Some highlights & suggested references in the slide! 💚"
