Today the @EUCommission unveiled its proposal for a Digital Networks Act (#DNA)... and it has far-reaching implications for Europe’s internet.
Despite being framed as a “technical update,” our member @epicenter_works's first analysis shows the proposal could dismantle key net neutrality safeguards, centralise political power, and threaten an open and neutral internet.

Surveillance Watch – Una mappa che mostra le connessioni tra le aziende di sorveglianza
Le tecnologie di sorveglianza e gli #spyware vengono utilizzati per prendere di mira e sopprimere giornalisti, dissidenti e difensori dei diritti umani in tutto il mondo. Surveillance Watch è un database interattivo che documenta le connessioni nascoste all'interno dell'opaco settore della sorveglianza. Fondata da sostenitori della privacy, la maggior parte dei quali è stata personalmente danneggiata dalle tecnologie di sorveglianza, la nostra missione è quella di far luce sulle aziende che traggono profitto da questo sfruttamento. Mappando l'intricata rete di aziende di sorveglianza, delle loro filiali, partner e finanziatori, speriamo di svelare i facilitatori che alimentano le diffuse violazioni dei diritti in questo settore, garantendo che non possano eludere la responsabilità per la loro complicità in questi abusi. Surveillance Watch è un'iniziativa promossa dalla comunità e ci affidiamo ai contributi di persone appassionate della tutela della #privacy e dei diritti umani.
