@EUCommission We celebrate freedom of speech, respect for privacy and it doesn't feel like y'all get it.

Say no to the surveillance state!🖕

@EUCommission "the values that brings us together..."

One of them is - but looks like soon to be WAS - privacy. There's a lot of talking at the EUC about privacy. But nothing is actually done.
Still using American servers to store sensitive data, to name just one thing, where privacy is almost but soon to be completely unknown.

Now I hear talking about banning VPN, only - really? I am not a conspiracy-believer, but now you have me wondering whether it is really JUST - because of age control.
Because there are plenty of other ways to control the age of social media subscribers, without having to collect all other posible data. Without having to just delete the complete existence of 'Privacy'. But not a single worst about them in your communication. What's why it makes me wonder ... Because I can absolutely not imagine nobody knows or has heard of or even thought about a possibility of a less drastic way for checking just the age.

@EUCommission ,
you've talked about trusting the EUC, having faith in the European Union...

Maybe, I am not an expert but just maybe... when you actually think before immediately shooting something off, when you actually listen to what REAL people - as in: down to earth civilians, not you ivory tower inhabitants - have to say, maybe trust will grow.
Shoot VPN down, and you will for sure achieve the opposite. No expert needed to tell you that.
So maybe don't skip the first part of that report.
For one because the internet is way bigger than the EU.
Privacy is a right. Stop violating the right to privacy on fallacies.

@EUCommission I wonder: Is this what Schuman wanted? "EU calls VPNs a loophole that needs closing"

@EUCommission besides the 2005 vote on the great, or you recent war against privacy on the Internet, I'm afraid the EU is closer to a dystopia than a dream...

@EUCommission I would have liked to join, but your website is not allowing me to see it while using a VPN.

Europe starts feeling like being in Russia or China...

@EUCommission

If there were VPNs in 1950, would you have been as worried about them as you are now.

Freedom is not a label you can stick only on things you condone.

@EUCommission happy Europe Day! easy to forget sometimes how much this project means, especially these days

@EUCommission Hahaha! Ein lustiges Bild, die weißhaarige Oma und das schwarzhaarige Kind dort!

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.e

Free Palestine, Free Leban, quit all with Israel

@EUCommission
Today we celebrate the sacrifice of the Soviets in their fight, and ultimate victory, against the Nazism.

Now we see the ugly faces of fascists raising in many places — including Europe. The Soviet heritage has to be remembered and understood in order to destroy the fascists once and for all.

@EUCommission

Je vois quand même un gros problème avec votre compte mastodon.

A part l’Irlande et Malte ( et encore comme langue secondaire ) , l’anglais n’est pas une langue officielle dans les 25 autres pays .

Il conviendrait donc de diffuser des messages dans d’autres langues ( je suis sur qu’il y a suffisamment de traducteurs autour de vous )

Les européens vous remercient d’avance.
