A larger, stronger, and united Europe is in everyone’s interest. 🇦🇱 🇲🇩 🇲🇪 🇲🇰 🇷🇸 🇹🇷 🇺🇦 🇧🇦 🇽🇰 🇬🇪
Enlargement means more stability, more opportunities, and a stronger EU on the global stage 👇
Does this

also imply that less states will want to spy on EU officials when they are part of the EU? Maybe the EU should stop #databrokerfiles before expanding - to really offer a safe place.
Für den neusten Teil der #DatabrokerFiles haben @roofjoke und ich 278 Millionen Handy-Standortdaten aus Belgien ausgewertet. Selbst EU-Spitzenpersonal in Brüssel ist betroffen. Die EU-Kommission sagt: "Wir sind besorgt." Abgeordnete des EU-Parlaments fordern strengere Regulierung. 🔥

Almost ten years after the EU agreed upon GDPR, our investigation reveals how defenseless it is against ad-tracking & data brokers. The Commission points to data protection authorities in member states, but MEPs like Axel Voss (EPP) &
@alexandrageese (Greens) call for stricter regulation.
In the past though, regulatory approaches such as the #ePrivacy Regulation were successfully opposed by the data industry. Can Europe now find the strength to tackle the problem once and for all?
