  1. EU-Rechtswiedrige Gesetze stehen momentan hoch im Kurs. #Chatkontrolle #BiometricMassSurveillance
    Damit auch unser Innenminister es versteht haben CCC, GFF, Amnesty International, Algorithm Watch und Ulrich Kelber noch einmal in einem Gutachten dargelegt warum die Pläne zur biometrischen Massenüberwachung rechtswidrig sind.

  2. Das Sicherheitspaket wurde heute entgegen aller Kritik beschlossen.
    Ganz nach dem Vorbild vorheriger Regierungen baut die Ampel damit Bürgerrechte weiter ab und schafft mit biometrischen Massenscans eine gefährliche neue Dimension der Überwachung.
    Die Era der Papiertüten ist hier. #Sicherheitspaket #BiometricMassSurveillance

  3. 🇬🇧Five more years of von der Leyen? Just look at what her EU Commission proposed in the past five years:
    💥the end of private messaging and secure encryption #ChatControl
    💥mandating unique citizen identifiers #eID
    💥working group to resurrect indiscriminate #DataRetention #EUGoingDark
    💥essentially unchanged online tracking & micro-targeting practices #politicalAds
    💥legalising #Europol's unlawful bulk data collection practices
    💥ultra-fast cross-border online content removals without court orders #TERREG
    💥#biometricMassSurveillance in the #AIActgranting
    💥industry access to our #healthdata without our consent #EHDS

  8. 🇬🇧 The von der Leyen EU Commission claims this week that EU law does not preclude indiscriminate real-time facial surveillance in public spaces. Not a word about the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. #biometricMassSurveillance is not an option to us #Pirates!

  9. 🇬🇧 Ursula von der Leyen has been continuously eroding our fundamental rights. In the past five years, her EU Commission proposed:

    ❌the end of private messaging and secure encryption #ChatControl
    ❌introducing unique citizen identifiers #eID
    ❌a working group to resurrect indiscriminate #DataRetention #EUGoingDark
    ❌essentially unchanged online tracking & micro-targeting practices #DSA #politicalAds
    ❌legalising #Europol's unlawful bulk data collection practices
    ❌ultra-fast cross-border online content removals without court orders #TERREG
    ❌allowing for #biometricMassSurveillance in the #AIAct
    ❌granting industry access to our #healthdata without our consent #EHDS

    Von der Leyen’s Europe needs digital freedom fighters! #Pirates

  10. 3/5 🌤️ We still have many avenues to keep advancing protection of our fundamental rights. We will:

    💪🏾 monitor the implementation of the #AIAct
    🔍 advocate for strong national laws against #BiometricMassSurveillance
    ✊🏾 push for more protection of migrants' & racialised people' rights

  11. Us four Pirate Party MEPs are working hard in the European Parliament even towards the end of the current mandate.

    We work on the European Health Data Space #EHDS, #StopKillingGames, against #biometricMassSurveillance and #crypto bans.

    And we fight to stop indiscriminate #ChatControl.

  12. 🇬🇧 #AIAct: European Parliament committees today rubber-stamped an instruction manual for rolling out permanent #biometricmasssurveillance in public spaces by means of real-time #facesurveillance. Chilling behavioral monitoring and unscientific AI video lie detectors are not off limits, either.
    Defending our democracy against being turned into a high-tech surveillance state is not negotiable for us #Pirates!

  13. 🇬🇧Important, scathing criticism of the planned #AIAct now from the entire Reclaim Your Face alliance including EDRi, AccessNOW, La Quadrature, Amnesty:
    "Under this new law, ... the EU will have rubber-stamped #biometricmasssurveillance." reclaimyourface.eu/eu-ai-act-w #Pirates

  14. "...the AI Act will not ban the vast majority of dangerous BMS practices. Instead, it will introduce – for the first time in the EU – conditions on how to use these systems...Under this new law, we will be guilty by algorithm until proven innocent...This will give carte blanche to EU countries to roll out more surveillance of our faces and bodies, which in turn will set a chilling global precedent."

  15. 1/3 🚨The EU AI Act is set to give a green light to public #FacialRecognition & biometric categorisation - going against the mandate of @europarl_en.

    This endorsement of dystopian #BiometricMassSurveillance is unprecedented in the EU.

    Read our take here: reclaimyourface.eu/eu-ai-act-w

  16. Wie call upon EU legislators to ban #BiometricMassSurveillance!

    Protect citizens from facial recognition, emotion recognition and biometric categorisation!

    #ReclaimYourFace!

  17. 🇬🇧 Since 2015, some French police forces have illegally been using #BehaviouralSurveillance tools - and allegedly Remote Biometric Identification too.
    Ahead of the #AIAct final trilogue of 6/12 I say: Let’s ban #BiometricMassSurveillance, don’t legitimise it by way of “exceptions”.

  18. Read these demands for the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (#AIAct) trilogue negotiations next week Wednesday (6th of December).

    Civil society demands a full ban on remote biometric identification (e.g. #FacialRecognition) without arbitrary exemptions. Citizens have a right to be protected from #BiometricMassSurveillance!

  19. This is a critical time for protecting citizens and their fundamental rights against #FacialRecognition and other forms of #BiometricMassSurveillance. Read this opinion by Ella Jakubowska @ella from @edri to know what is going on:

    „The EU is on the precipice of a huge achievement — an #AIAct which truly puts people at its centre. But if done poorly, we will instead find ourselves on the precipice of a law which tells the whole world that the EU prioritises the surveillance industry over people and communities.“

  20. 🇬🇧Alarm: The EU's #AIAct threatens to bring error-prone, fundamental rights-violating and discriminatory #BiometricMassSurveillance to Europe: euractiv.com/section/artificia

    One person wanted, everybody being monitored? There is still time to stop this!

  21. Today for the first time, the #AIAct negotiations will deal with the ban on #BiometricMassSurveillance #BMS proposed by Parliament which so many of us have campaigned for.

    Governments REALLY want to bring error-prone facial recognition to Europe – no way!

  23. In a landmark decision, the #EuropeanParliament's #IMCO and #LIBE committees has adopted a ban on #BiometricMassSurveillance and numerous other dangerous #AI practices including #predictivepolicing and #socialscoring

    #AIact

    Final vote on Parliament position at the next #plenary

  24. 🇬🇧 Right now decisive EU Parliament negotiations on #AIAct. We need a clear No to #BiometricMassSurveillance of any kind that will protect us not only from error-prone #FaceSurveillance but also from chilling #BehavioralSurveillance as proposed in France!

  25. 1/4🛑The European Parliament must BAN #EmotionRecognition & #AI polygraphs in the #AIAct.

    'Emotion recognition' technologies are built on a chilling history of racism.

    Along with biometric categorisation, these segregationist systems are the hidden face of #BiometricMassSurveillance.
