1/3 🚨 On 5 November, MEPs in the LIBE Committee of the European Parliament will vote on a new #Europol Regulation, part of the EU’s so-called “Facilitators Package.”
Behind the rhetoric of fighting “smuggling,” this reform expands Europol’s #MassSurveillance powers & threatens #FundamentalRights
Here’s how 👇🏾
reshared this
2/3
1️⃣ Unlawful:
The proposal expands Europol’s #surveillance capacities, allowing it to collect and use biometrics like #FacialRecognition on a massive scale, without transparency and effective safeguards against abuse.
2️⃣ Unsafe:
This reform encourages data collection & data sharing from and with third countries, including authoritarian regimes.
It turns “anti-smuggling” into a blank cheque for surveillance against migrants, NGOs & journalists.
3/3
3️⃣ Unsubstantiated:
❌ No impact assessment.
❌ No proof it works.
Even the European Data Protection Supervisor @EDPS warns it violates EU law and puts #privacy & safety at risk.
This reform won’t protect people. It’ll criminalise solidarity, erode democracy, and put everyone under surveillance.
Civil society calls on MEPs:
❌ Reject the Europol Regulation
✅ Protect rights, privacy & democracy.

Il colosso del software non ha inoltre risposto a una richiesta di accesso relativa a Microsoft 365 Education, ampiamente utilizzato nelle scuole europee. Microsoft ha invece cercato di trasferire tutta la responsabilità alle scuole locali. Sebbene le scuole interessate debbano fornire dati di accesso più dettagliati e ulteriori informazioni sulla privacy, secondo la decisione, spetta ora a Microsoft chiarire definitivamente in che modo utilizza i dati degli utenti per i propri scopi aziendali.

Much of today’s internet exploits attention & vulnerability instead of supporting free, informed choice.
The Digital Fairness Act (DFA) can change that, by banning manipulative design & making fairness-by-design the norm.
EDRi has submitted its response to the European Commission's call for evidence, urging:
🔴 Bans on manipulative design
🔴 Fair defaults & real consent
🔴 Behavioural design impact checks

Il giornalista Sigfrido #Ranucci, conduttore di Report, ha denunciato pubblicamente un presunto tentativo di «punire» la sua trasmissione attraverso l’uso politico del Garante per la privacy. «In questi giorni sto ricevendo solidarietà bipartisan, ma si sta rivelando ipocrita — ha detto — perché da una parte mi si esprime vicinanza, dall’altra qualcuno sta armando il Garante per colpire Report e dare un segnale esemplare ad altre trasmissioni». Ranucci ha parlato da remoto nel corso di una conferenza stampa al Parlamento europeo, organizzata dall’eurodeputato del Partito democratico Sandro Ruotolo.
Nota del canale: deregittimare le autorità indipendenti non è mai una buona idea. La politica non attende altro. Se Ranucci dispone di informazioni sul fatto che il #GarantePrivacy si sia prestato un uso politico del suo ruolo, dovrebbe immediatamente informare le autorità giudiziaria. L'autorità per la protezione dei dati personali si muove nell'ambito delle proprie prerogative, talvolta d'ufficio. E quindi sempre possibile che un reclamo al garante venga fatto sulla base di motivazioni politiche, ma viene sempre vagliato in base alla procedibilità.

Il tema della sovraesposizione dei minori sui social, in particolare attraverso lo sharenting, è oggi una delle questioni più delicate in materia di protezione dei dati. I bambini crescono in una società dove la loro identità digitale si forma ben prima che abbiano consapevolezza di sé: già a pochi mesi di vita, molti hanno un’impronta online. Una ricerca dell’organizzazione inglese The Parent Zone ha rivelato che i genitori pubblicano quasi millecinquecento foto dei figli prima che questi compiano cinque anni, con una media di circa trecento immagini all’anno.

#Apple's lawyers are arguing that the #interoperability provision in the #DMA harms the company's human rights 😯

📢 "Given that Apple’s product is an ecosystem where value is created not only by Apple, but also by independent external developers and consumers who own the devices, coercing selected gatekeepers’ products into interoperability is entirely legitimate and necessary." - FSFE's lawyer, Martin Husovec
(We cannot wait to watch the streaming as it is delayed)
#Apple is claiming before @Curia that #DMA is expropriating their copyrights and patents! 😲
The @EUCommission and the @fsfe stated that Apple has not listed any right. How this can be? 🤔
The Court followed up, but Apple just cannot list any copyright and patent affected by #interoperability!
Dario reshared this.
#Apple is stating at @Curia that the #DMA obligation of "free-of-charge" interoperability imposes enormous burden to their rights. 🫢
FSFE: No, actually Apple has a menu of choices:
🔹Use or develop #OpenStandards;
🔹use or develop proprietary solutions but refrain from using patents and copyrights to block interoperability; or
🔹 not provide these non-interoperable features in the EU market.

Organizzazioni no-profit come il Digital Childhood Institute fanno parte di una nuova generazione di gruppi di orientamento conservatore per la sicurezza e la privacy dei minori, emersi nell'ultimo decennio. Il loro lavoro critica spesso le aziende tecnologiche e dei social media per il loro contributo all'aumento dei problemi di salute mentale tra i giovani, tra cui depressione, ansia e autolesionismo, e le loro proposte politiche mirano a garantire a genitori e utenti tutele in materia di privacy dei dati e consenso.
