3/3
3️⃣ Unsubstantiated:
❌ No impact assessment.
❌ No proof it works.
Even the European Data Protection Supervisor  @EDPS warns it violates EU law and puts  #privacy & safety at risk.
This reform won’t protect people. It’ll criminalise solidarity, erode democracy, and put everyone under surveillance.
Civil society calls on MEPs:
❌ Reject the Europol Regulation
✅ Protect rights, privacy & democracy.

2/3
1️⃣ Unlawful:
The proposal expands Europol’s #surveillance capacities, allowing it to collect and use biometrics like #FacialRecognition on a massive scale, without transparency and effective safeguards against abuse.
2️⃣ Unsafe:
This reform encourages data collection & data sharing from and with third countries, including authoritarian regimes.
It turns “anti-smuggling” into a blank cheque for surveillance against migrants, NGOs & journalists.

We all build our own prison ...
First, they gave us a window. It wasn't perfect, but it made life easier. This window was then improved and made more convenient. This quality, but also mafia-like practices, allowed them to create a #monopoly. Ultimately, this led to a decline in quality and customers being forced to accept #surveillance, subscriptions, #AI, and #cloud services. In the end, the window was barred and made smaller.
But for those who didn't get too comfortable behind the window, a penguin named TUX has a #jailbreak ready. Floss is a jailbreak that allows you to always get free updates and continue to use old hardware. This helps the environment and your wallet. But #BigTech doesn't want you to know about it and wants to keep you in #prison and locked in dependency.
Ultimately, everyone must decide for themselves whether #freedom is more important to them than finding reasons to remain in prison of their own free will.

Mi pareja compró un cacharro de estos de segunda mano y no supo hacerlo funcionar. Yo le dije que probablemente estuviese algo defectuoso y por ahí sigue aparcado. La razón es que no quería conectar a mi red algo de dudosa seguridad. Pero podría ser aún mucho peor que una cuestión de seguridad. ¡Lean, lean!

“I'm not worried about my personal data because I have nothing to hide.” Yes, you do. Because no one knows what the future holds, as many US citizens are now learning the hard way.

Is breaking encryption really how we protect children online?
On Oct 14, EU votes on requiring all providers to scan communications—even encrypted ones.
Who ensures surveillance stops at CSAM? Who monitors the monitors? Once broken, what stops expansion?
Backdoors for "good reasons" become control tools.
We've joined 40+ European companies demanding answers before it's too late.
Once encryption breaks, you can't unbreak it.

With Germany poised to change its stance and approve Chat Control, digital privacy end looms in the EU
Companies that take privacy seriously, such as Signal and Tuta are issuing statements of positions regarding the topic.
TL:DR the differences between those two and all the rest are STARK.
Both Signal and Tuta state they will sue or leave EU.
And that is how you choose which businesses to support.
