Your daily reminder that @EUCommission are only cunts on days with names ending with day.

“The European Commission will launch its long-awaited bid to simplify digital rules in an effort to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses and to promote European start ups in the global artificial intelligence race.”

⚖️📚 The #EUCommission has secretly set in motion a potentially massive reform of the #GDPR. If internal drafts become reality, this would have significant impact on people's fundamental right to #privacy and data protection.

And a plea if anyone from the @EUCommission cares to read this, let me be plain. We do not want sacrifice the rights, safety, protections, and privacy of ourselves and future generations for whatever short term gains you been led to believe are possible and that we've been missing out on. We're fine not having the latest AI bots and image filters in our chat, we don't care if our personal data isn't included in our google search and we have to painstakingly switch the tab to where it lives, we don't need the latest feature to talk to on our phone. Access to any of those things do not make our lives materially better. We all can see happens when those protections are removed and private industry is allowed access by simply looking what is happening in the USA. The current society and system in USA should be looked at as a cautionary tale, not an aspirational goal. We do not want what they have, we are not missing out, we are not falling behind, please stop trying to force this regression on us. The ONLY path that leads to one where our lives becoming materially worse, so why are you insisting on repeating all their same mistakes?

Good morning @pluralistic . I'm not sure if you are presantly and actively still involved with the #EU efforts of the @eff , but since we're at defcon 3 and dropping fast over here on the #european continent, I thought I'd ask. Do you know if they are already engaged working with the @EC_DIGIT to help guide them away from making this horrible mistake before it is too late (see link from @noybeu at end of post)? Is there anything "we" can do to help or efforts to coordinate. In your interviews, podcasts, and writings you regularly mention the #gdpr and #dma as the only real consumer protections left in the world, and the only thing slowing down the, now seemingly inevitable, ameri- #enshittification of EU. Would you be willing to bring mainstream and public awareness to this development in your future talks/interviews regarding #enshittification?

Please interpret the attached image along with all included subtext you can think of to be a deliberate choice in portraying the precarity of our current situation, and the forces we may be facing.
