This is a good time to wise-up on #DataRetention as the European Commission is asking for your opinion right now. They would like to propose mandatory data retention across the EU, so please take a few minutes to tell them 'no' in the official consultation.

You can find a guide for how to find and navigate the consultation in the blog of @edri:
https://edri.org/our-work/public-consultation-on-retention-of-data-by-service-providers-for-criminal-proceedings-answering-guide-for-civil-society-organisations-and-individuals/

Or if you speak German, you can also use our guide at @digiges:

Deadline tomorrow (12 Sept.) midnight.

Listen to @chlobemy from @edri explain #DataRetention and what is happening in the EU now:

„Metadata is as sensitive as the content of communications. There is this wrong idea – especially in the mind of policy-makers when we meet them – that metadata, so the data about the communications, is less sensitive than content data. This is this myth that we have to bust every time when we talk about this topic.“

I am looking for Members of Green Parties in EU member states (EGP) to connect about topics like #Chatcontrol#DataRetention#Encryption and all that’s related to these topics in regard to privacy.

We can only stop this if we work together.

So, anyone from Europe who wants to join a small group of Greens from Germany who try to stop all this?
