Il Comitato europeo per la protezione dei dati (EDPB) adotta il suo primo rapporto nell'ambito del quadro normativo UE-USA sulla privacy dei dati e una dichiarazione sulle raccomandazioni sull'accesso ai dati per le forze dell'ordine

@Privacy Pride

La dichiarazione sulle raccomandazioni del gruppo ad alto livello sull'accesso ai dati per un'applicazione efficace della legge sottolinea che i diritti fondamentali devono essere salvaguardati quando le autorità di contrasto accedono ai dati personali delle persone fisiche. Pur sostenendo l'obiettivo di un'efficace attività di contrasto, l'EDPB sottolinea che alcune delle raccomandazioni del gruppo ad alto livello potrebbero causare gravi intrusioni nei confronti dei diritti fondamentali, in particolare il rispetto della vita privata e della vita familiare.

Pur prendendo atto con soddisfazione della raccomandazione, l'EDPB può portare alla creazione di condizioni di parità in materia di conservazione dei dati, ma ritiene che un obbligo ampio e generale di conservazione dei dati in forma elettronica da parte di tutti i fornitori di servizi creerebbe un'interferenza significativa con i diritti delle persone fisiche. Pertanto, l'EDPB si chiede se ciò soddisferebbe i requisiti di necessità e proporzionalità della Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell'UE e della giurisprudenza della CGUE.

Nella sua dichiarazione, l'EDPB sottolinea inoltre che le raccomandazioni relative alla cifratura non dovrebbero impedirne l'uso né indebolire l'efficacia della protezione che fornisce. Ad esempio, l'introduzione di un processo lato client che consenta l'accesso remoto ai dati prima che siano crittografati e inviati su un canale di comunicazione, o dopo che siano decifrati presso il destinatario, in pratica indebolirebbe la crittografia. Preservare la protezione e l'efficacia della cifratura è importante per evitare ripercussioni negative sul rispetto della vita privata e della riservatezza e per garantire che siano salvaguardate la libertà di espressione e la crescita economica, che dipendono da tecnologie affidabili.

If confirmed, Brunner would lead DG HOME, the Commission unit that'll propose laws on data retention, encryption & other surveillance issues.
In short, the topics most relevant to EDRi's mission to stop discriminatory & arbitrary #StateSurveillance will fall to him!

As Commissioner, he would have the opportunity to ensure that #AIAct implementation follows international human rights standards for people at EU borders, and to protect encryption from chat control or the #GoingDark group.

Brunner's opening is a practiced exercise in balance & euphemism. He puts forward a "firm" approach to migration & "returns", and sets his top priority as developing an EU Internal Security Strategy. He's open to "new ideas" for the Migration Pact (EU-speak for externalisation).

He simultaneously posits himself as a champion of rights: "We must manage our border the #EuropeanWay, in full compliance with fundamental rights". BUT...

🚨 Policing the net: the MEP grilling kicks off with the Conservatives asking about organised crime.

Brunner points to the recommendations of an EU police group called #GoingDark (which has been strongly criticised by EDRi). Despite a nod to the importance of upholding CJEU case law, he makes a deeply worrying comment about obliging companies to break online anonymity. We'll be watching with concern 👀

Europol: Bricmont also rightfully points out that the Commission still has not delivered the evaluation of #Europol's 2016 reform - 2 years after the deadline. When can we expect it then, she asks? Brunner remains silent, declining to commit that procedural problems would be rectified.

Meanwhile the Commission has since put forward two (!) mandate reforms massively expanding Europol's powers, rubber-stamping the agency's rogue data handling & without solid evidence.

Privacy: 2+ hrs into the hearing, protecting #encryption, #privacy & stopping #spyware are finally raised, thanks to S&D's Kaljurand. But Brunner's response pits safety against privacy - a common trope of the outgoing Commissioner.

What's more, despite an outright ask for him to commit to protecting #E2EEncryption, Brunner skirts the question. A silver lining? He compliments the Parliament's position on the #CSAReg, which rejected the Commission's mass surveillance and encryption-breaking plans

Europol: Brunner says he shares the Conservative group's view of #Europol as a "success story" and its wish that the agency becomes "more operative & effective" in the future. How? With a bigger budget and double the staff.

This massively disregards the agency's repetitive illegal data collection & storage, its constant disrespect for people's right to access to their data, its responsibility in perpetuating racism in policing tech tools - all documented here: s.42l.fr/NlFSuK8I

It's a polished start for Commissioner-Designate McGrath as he says that his portfolio sits at the "core" of what the #EU stands for. He shows off his credentials as a national Parliamentarian and politician with 25 years of experience.

However, he's already talking about the importance of "competitiveness" - something that EDRi has worried was given too much prominence in McGrath's written answers to the Parliament. Competitiveness should not be the goal of the Justice and Rights Commissioner!

A super hot topic 🔥: the #GDPR. McGrath hails the law as a "success", but the first MEP question from the EPP Group attacks this vital data protection law, asking McGrath how he plans to "overcome" (!) it!

Luckily McGrath doesn't take the bait, instead stating that "I do not believe that it [the GDPR] is contradictory to ... fostering and supporting innovation." 🥳 This is an important statement and push-back against the toxic political narrative that protecting people's rights is a 'barrier'!

Next, the Socialists & Democrats (S&D) group questioned McGrath about safeguarding privacy & data protection, especially in the context of the #EU's data transfers agreements with third countries, some of which were struck down by the Court of Justice in the past. He was also questioned about the foreseen future data retention proposal ( a big 🚩red flag for EDRi!) and how to ensure it complies with CJEU case law. As he gave no reply to those questions, we hope another MEP will raise them!

McGrath has repeated several times that he will use the whole "EU toolbox" to protect rule of law, including infringement procedures. It's been over 10 years since the CJEU invalidated the #DataRetentionDirective.

Yet national data retention laws transposing it are still in place in the majority of MS (!) This is against EU law. The EC never lifted a finger to address this rule of law crisis. Will McGrath have the necessary courage where so many before have wilfully failed to act?

After a question from the conservative EPP group, McGrath confirms he'll use the #DigitalFairnessAct (DFA) to tackle barriers to protecting people as consumers, especially safeguarding minors from unfair marketing techniques like in-app sales & gambling-like features in video games.
We call on the Commissioner-designate to use the #DFA to also address the massive gap in regulating #SurveillanceAds and pervasive online #tracking that continues to undermine everybody's #privacy online!

Data Protection: MEP Barrena addresses head-on the absurd renewal of the EU's Adequacy decision with Israel, despite ICJ investigation into possible genocidal actions in Gaza, thus legitimising Israel as an EU partner and normalising its mass surveillance regime - a decision that EDRi criticised in depth: s.42l.fr/abZDK1Uj. McGrath dodged the question, reaffirming the Commission's ultimate goal to favour trade with as many 3rd countries as possible over protecting fundamental rights.

European Commission's decision to allow data flows to Israel alarms privacy experts - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

The European Commissioner for Justice must provide further clarity on the decision to renew Israel’s status in the adequacy review.

2 Questions (only?) this morning.
1. When will we know if a specific nominee has been confirmed?
As you know I was very impressed by Kyrios Apostolos Tzitzikostas performance last
night. There are elements of his forthrightness that remind me of America's
Transportation Tzar, Pete Butegieg. This is not a bad thing.
2. When is Rouva Kaia Kallas going to be grilled? I don't think I need to explain why I am so
interested in that

Standing in front of the U.S. flag and dressed as Uncle Sam, Taylor Swift proudly proclaims that you should vote for Joe Biden for President. She then wants you to vote for Donald Trump in a nearly identical image circulated by former President Trump himself. Both the images, and the purported sentiments, are fabricated, the

Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream


The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city. Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision... The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan.

This animated movie tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realises how crucial it is for her and others to control technology.

An Open Educational Resource that inspires children to tinker and create technology.
