European Parliament LIBE committee votes on the #Europol report next week.

MEPs 👏 must 👏 vote 👏 against!

🐎 It is a Trojan horse for surveillance disguised as „anti-smuggling“
💰 It would expand the budget for a problematic agency

The EU must take responsibility for forcing migrants into life-threatening situations, change its hostile border & migration policies, and reject the expansion of Europol’s digital surveillance powers.

Did you know that...? #FreeSoftware refers to freedom, not price. Free Software is all about your freedom.

It guarantees its users the essential four freedoms. The absence of at least one of these freedoms means an application is proprietary, so non‐Free Software.
