@EUCommission exactly, but spain has laws that forbidden to identify police men, or take pictures, at the same time they can use police people to remove old people from his house, if this is democracy, I don't know what is a dictatorship.

@EUCommission

"Because empowered [...] people are the heart of our democracy💪"

Ergo: hands off #GDPR!

@EUCommission I'm glad the commission is taking action to shield our societies from these foreign attacks on democracy. We should start seeing social networks as potential weapons of mass destruction and treat them as such.

@EUCommission Will the Commission consult big tech for its guidance on the responsible use of AI in electoral processes?

@EUCommission What about your duty to protect your citizens? Stop #chatcontrol and mass #surveillance

@EUCommission Obvious corruption is obvious. Is this the worst case of corruption yet? Strike down #chatcontrol and lock the offenders out of parliament

@EUCommission how many Europeans want to have a #chatcontrol spying on their phones, stealthily checking their conversations, exfiltrating their photos?

@EUCommission You’re wrong again, selling us to North American corporations. As other people said, that’s not democracy.

@EUCommission those chat control and crippling the GDPR to adapt it for our bigtech AI overlords doesn't sound like democracy to me. You're not listening to the people, you're passing laws against your citizens, how is this democratic?

@EUCommission
Are you sure its democratic to force chat control?

@EUCommission stop trying to shove Chat Control down our throats?

@EUCommission

I'm also gonna raise my fucking voice since you preach about democracy yet danish minister of justice Peter Hummelgaard managed to slip in a greenlight for the "voluntary" chatcontrol proposal through the backdoor, which btw is a dickmove, since it sounded good for the lawmakers but Article 4 of the proposal still has the potencial to expand to the invasive mass scanning of all email providers and private messages, meaning you ARE basically making every citizen a primesuspect.

@EUCommission Fuck the #EUStasi

@EUCommission No to EUStaSi. #BoycottDenmark

@EUCommission Your concept of democracy is deeply disturbing. https://mastodon.social/@chatcontrol/115539210365913782

@EUCommission #chatcontrol?

@EUCommission
I don't see you mention dataprotection and being very strong on GDPR and the abuse of big tech

@EUCommission "empower people and civil society to play an active role in shaping Europe’s future" sounds terrific, but in the meantime you're eroding #gdpr rights so all our data is up for grabs, and you keep pushing for #chatcontrol so that even our most personal thoughts and conversations become yours to monitor... who cares about protection from foreign interference when our enemy is already within, pretending to be our elected representatives?

@EUCommission what is about privacy????

@EUCommission funny that it comes from you, when you're trying to undermine democracy

@EUCommission This is published on a day when yet another attack on citizen privacy is unleashed by EU using the most shady and undemocratic tricks EUs bureaucrats can pull out of their sleeves. Congratulations on peak hypocrisy.

@EUCommission Weird you say that Commission because you lot seem to be the ones who need your hearing checked. You really need to go to Specsavers. Any apology for backing a genocidal dictator in Israel yet!? Now wanted by the Hauge and must be arrested if he sets foot in the European Union.

@EUCommission

What is #democracy worth without #citizens' #privacy rights? Abandoning parts of the #GDPR for #BigTech undermines democracy and opens the door to 1930s-style #dictatorship and mass #surveillance. Wasn't the EU founded precisely to ensure this would never happen again? Honor your humble foundations or ther is no more need for the #EU.

@EUCommission I am so disappointed that #chatcontrol is being pushed forward. The people want privacy.

@EUCommission Less window dressing and more substance needed

@EUCommission Stop trying to impose chat control mass surveillance on us or shred the GDPR in favor of AI slop - you are about to destroy much of what you are advertising here. We're looking at you, EU Commission!

Science knows that it is practically impossible for humans to not communicate. Every politican who promotes chat control mass surveillance sends a strong message that they distrust all EU citizens - each time they try, again and again and again. Think of a big, red alert.

@EUCommission what timeline are we living in with this schizophrenic EU?

ChatControl: Let's create a dystopian surveillance state and empower the next generation of Big US Tech Stasi/Gestapo

DigitalOmnibus: Let's change the definitions of personal data so that Big US Tech can freely steal all EU citizens' data

European Democracy Shield: No idea yet exactly what this entails but if history is anything to go by it's likely just another ambush of EU citizens' rights dressed up as protection.

@EUCommission This feels like someone is trying to cover up dubious moves, like chat control, GDPR selling off, and quite a few others...

@EUCommission
Then why are you undermining our ability to communicate privately and securely? The ability to communicate freely, without the government looking over your shoulder, is a prerequisite for a functioning democracy, and you seem dead set on destroying that ability, because you fell for the transparent lie that privacy endangers children.

Remember, the Stasi is not a role model.

@EUCommission

Claim: Europe is the birthplace of democracy, but we need to nurture it.

Fact: you also intend on it being its place of death, waiting for us to look away.

Claim: 79% worry about voters basing decisions on disinformation.

Fact: 92% worry about the EU ignoring the will of the public and selling out to autocrats.

Claim: 56% are satisfied with media freedom, independence and pluralism.

Fact: how much did it go down since you are pushing Chat Control so hard & wrecking the GDPR?

@EUCommission A democracy where we are constantly spied-on and controlled with #ChatContol while politicians exempt themselves from this law?

You're making a "Secrecy for us and total surveillance of the pleb" law, effectively destroying a fundamental balance of democracy and free society, and then you have the nerve of posting about "freedom of the press" and "democracy"

@EUCommission There's difference about historical ancient democracy and modern democracy.

@EUCommission

Start leading by example.

@EUCommission and with #chatcontrol you will even scare away @signalapp . Congratulations 👏

@EUCommission It depends on you (politicians) if you don't want to restrict or forbidden the foreign platforms they can easily spread the misinformation.

@EUCommission Approx. 100 % are dissatisfied with your intention to wreck the GDPR. 😒

@EUCommission
Do you have any stats for how many Europeans fear #ChatControl interference in their everyday lives? Or are you too busy rebranding and rewording it once again?

@EUCommission Foreign intervention is a danger for our democracy. As well as private intervention.

It should be "1 vote = 1 vote", not "1 euro = 1 vote". Please, make sure to focus on this as well. We have to avoid it.

@EUCommission Is that why you want chat control and data retention?

@EUCommission

Democratic leaders need to stop believing CEOs and start listening what science has to tell.
They too often act in the interests of companies or individual, financially powerful interest groups rather than in the interests of society.

@EUCommission
Wow! At last!
We will make GAFAM out of Europe and will embrace open source standars!
We all should congratulate. 👏👏👏💯
