What is "digital fairness"? This is the central question of the EU's Digital Fairness Act

For us, it means safeguarding
✔️privacy: no pay for privacy
✔️freedom of choice: no dark patterns
✔️user sovereignty: limit contractual/technical lock-ins and remote lockouts

Canada’s Bill C-22 Is a Repackaged Version of Last Year’s Surveillance Nightmare

Last year, the Canadian government pushed Bill C-2, which would erode Canadian digital rights in the name of “border security.” The bill was so bad it didn’t even make it to committee because of the backlash from the privacy community. Now, the spring’s worst sequel, Bill C-22, aka The Lawful Access Act, is trying it again.

Why a recent Court of Justice case about drivers reporting police checks (Coyote System, Joined Cases C-188/24 and C-190/24) could cause collateral damage to #freedom #of #expression in Europe. My latest piece argues that recent CJEU case law is #eroding EU intermediary liability protections to the detriment of users. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/new-eu-court-justice-ruling-platform-liability-could-cause-collateral-damage
