This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet.
Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet?
Because this is about control, not children.
🚨 The Council of Europe has allegedly been breached. Over 297 GB of HR and payroll data, more than 429,000 files, has been compromised.
It marks the second major hit on European institutions this year. In March, the EU Commission, ENISA, and the Directorate-General for Digital Services were breached.
The data broker industry is a web of secret companies, investors, and government clients. I spoke with the activist behind https://t.co/6m7mrt9tRV -- a fantastic website that watches the watchers.
It's time to reveal who they really are.
The wait is over.
The EDPB and EDPS advise against adopting the proposed changes to the definition of personal data, as these go well beyond a technical amendment, do not align with CJEU case law, and would greatly narrow the concept of personal data.

It's a slippery slope: banning access to social media leads to identifying everyone in many services (games, AI). Then banning VPNs. Then banning E2E encryption. And finally banning open source software because it can be modified by the users at will.
🚨 The Commission will propose a pause of up to 15 months for the EU AI Act’s high-risk regime, with the exact length to be confirmed on Wednesday. The pause is bundled into the AI omnibus, putting pressure on MEPs and countries to adopt it before August.

CHINESE HACKERS USED CLAUDE FOR NEARLY-AUTONOMOUS CYBERATTACKS! AI-based espionage campaign by Chinese state-sponsored group. AI handled 80–90% of operations: reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, exploitation, credential harvesting, lateral movement and data exfiltration. It executed tasks at superhuman speed, mapped networks, built payloads and extracted intelligence with little oversight. "AI hallucination in offensive security contexts presented challenges, remains an obstacle to fully autonomous cyberattacks" https://t.co/xicqS3DAmh
⚖️📚 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.

Apple, Microsoft, and Google all collect too much data about us. If you want true privacy, Linux is the best choice. But if you're not ready to make the leap, you can at least lock down your Mac.
European politicians want to effectively end encryption as we know it to "protect children". That's why we joined forces with @ecosia, @NordVPN, @ProtonPrivacy, @TutaPrivacy, and other members of the digital privacy community to put a stop to this misguided bill.

Big Brother just got an upgrade.
Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.
One step closer to total surveillance.
EU #ChatControl threatens to implement automated scanning of all private online communications. We want a future without mass surveillance and with the right to our privacy!
A backdoor for governments is a backdoor for everybody! We call on @bmjv_bund to hold the line!
📣 Germany is close to reversing its principled opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private —& Signal—in the EU.
Time is short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how harmful, counterproductive, and self-sabotaging their reversal would be.
The EU is once again trying to push a dangerous legislative proposal that undermines encrypted communication and obliterates our rights to private conversations. https://t.co/EubPgx8ywq
We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.
