@RickiTarr the good thing is that their business model is so fucking illegal in the #EU & #Germany that I've yet to see ads for those things in German…

- Cuz here #privacy is a #HumanRight and companies ain't even allowed to hoard data like that to begin with!

Plus they are obligated to hand over ALL the data they ever collected & delete all of it free if charge!

"Today (Wednesday 24 June) the European Commission announced a new reform proposal for Europol – the EU’s policing agency – expanding Europol’s operational powers and weakening key data protection safeguards to the tune of €3 billion.

This is the 3rd Europol reform in six years changing Europol’s mandate to increase its powers and budget. This puts the European Commission increasingly at odds with the boundaries set in the EU treaties, which provide only for Europol to remain in a supportive role to Member States’ police authorities and competent solely for serious forms of criminality.

The Commission’s proposal claims that “interference with the rights to privacy and protection of personal data… remains both necessary and proportionate,” however under the proposed changes, anyone could have their personal data stored and processed by this obscure EU police cooperation agency.

Despite acknowledging the most recent Europol reform in 2022 already massively expanded the agency’s mandate, the proposal charges ahead with significant deregulatory measures to further weaken data protection laws and expand operational powers:"

The EU's "Chat Control" regulation reaches its final trilogue on 2026-06-29. Parliament's position excludes E2EE communications from mandatory scanning; several Council governments want to keep broader scanning powers.

What's actually at stake: client-side scanning before encryption defeats E2EE as a guarantee, no matter what happens to the ciphertext afterward.

@eff #privacy by design and default is not for protecting you or others against justice but the injustice hiding around the corner ... orange maniacs are just one threat, right-wing fascist comes in several shapes as does stalinists and putinists 🫣

Nope, digital sovereignty isn't just a struggle between the US and Europe. The DC-based big-tech sales organization, formerly known as the US Government, is fighting with all our allies over espionage and privacy.
