We will publish our position paper on the EU’s #Europol reform soon!
In the week leading up to the launch, we reflect on this controversial European police cooperation agency.

As Protect Not Surveil coalition, we challenge the use of digital technologies at different levels of EU policies and advocate for the ability of people to move and to seek safety and opportunity without risking harm, surveillance or discrimination.

Follow us and #ProtectNotSurveil to learn more!

in reply to EDRi

Stay tuned for the #ProtectNotSurveil position paper on the #Europol reform TOMORROW!

The European Commission is claims to protect vulnerable asylum seekers, but beneath this veneer lies a far more insidious reality. In truth, this approach fuels harm and discrimination towards people on the move while empowering the EU’s policing agency with unprecedented surveillance capabilities and insufficient oversight.

EDRi's Claire Fernandez & Blue Tiyavorabun are at the #AIActionSummit in Paris, with heads of states, EU officials, industry execs, academics, (some) civil society representatives.

EU legislation is under attack by Big tech. The EU AI Act enforcement remains weak. In this context, we regret that the Summit chose to center business and industry needs over public interest.The French govt – boosted by the EC's de-regulation agenda– turns a blind eye to current AI human and environmental harms.

1/3 🚨 The EU #AIAct implementation process has been a hot mess so far 😬

Earlier this week, on 2 February, the AI Act's prohibitions on unacceptably risky #AI systems came into effect.

❌ As we cautioned most recently in our statement with 27 organisations and experts, these prohibitions are already too weak to effectively prioritise #HumanRights over AI companies' profits and protect us from further harms.

But that's not all... 🧵

2/3 ... Member States are now taking advantage of these weak bans to push for dangerous laws at a national level. This includes legalising #MassSurveillance through Remote Biometric Identification (RBI) systems 🙅‍♂️

🇧🇪 This is happening at the very centre of the EU - Belgium is proposing a full copy paste of the AI Act exceptions to the RBI ban!

This is exactly we warned about when the #AIAct passed - it will lead to legalisation of massive #HumanRights violations ⤵️ edri.org/our-work/eu-ai-act-fa…

3/3 There's also the procedural mess:

❌ delays from the #AIOffice
❌ national implementation delays
❌ #GPAI code of conduct issues
❌ Commission's interpretative guidelines released AFTER bans already entered into force
❌ no guidelines on the AI system definition yet, which will determine which systems fall under the scope of the bans in the first place.

This is terrible for legal certainty, in addition to the #AIAct already falling short of civil society demands to put people's rights first.
