  1. Why the EU’s so-called Chat Control law has privacy experts up in arms.

    The European Parliament has approved extraordinary measures to fight child sex abuse online.

    The rules have been dubbed “Chat Control” by critics, who warn of mass surveillance.

    Supporters reject these claims and argue a balance between protecting children and privacy rights is possible.

  5. 🇪🇺 Die EU preist Open Source für Tech-Souveränität – und migriert dann zu W Social, einer privaten Closed-Source-Plattform.

    ✅ EU-Kommission, EZB: PDS zu pds.wsocial.network migriert
    ✅ W Identity (Identitätsprüfung) ist Closed-Source
    ✅ EU hat Mastodon selbst gehostet, hätte PDS auch selbst hosten können
    @eurosky.social (Non-Profit, Open Source) existiert als Alternative

  7. In the Council of the European Union, where the EU Member States meet, decisions are often made by what we call "Qualified Majority Voting", or QMV. How many votes are needed to pass a law under QMV?

    (In the interest of shortening answers: MS= Member States, pop=population)

  9. The #US and #EU are secretly negotiating the #EBSP agreement which will give #DHS and its brutal #ICE continuous and systematic access to our biometric data. UK also approached.

  11. So why do #EU Member States meet in two different institutions with almost the same name?
    Well, first the EU needs to identify the big issues that need EU solutions, and setting direction is the job of the *European Council*.
    To achieve those objectives, the EU has to agree on law and policies, and adopt legislation, that's a job for *the Council of the European Union*

  13. Ok, so the correct answer here was "the Council of the European Union." Meanwhile the "European Council" is where the EU's Heads of State or Government meet to define the EU's general political direction or priorities.
    Also, the "Council of Europe" is not an EU body, and has non-EU countries like Georgia, Serbia, the UK party to it.

  19. 🚨BREAKING: Politicians still don't get #encryption and are shocked—shocked!—that people value #privacy 🤯. In a nail-biting twist, the EU Council backpedals faster than a unicyclist on a treadmill. 🏃‍♂️🔄 #EpicFail

  20. Refugees are dying in #Poland, always in danger of violent #pushbacks. See how police hails the "deterrent effect" of their surveillance system at #euCouncil working group "Borders":

  21. How does Viktor #Orban still have a vote in the #EUcouncil ? How is #Hungary still in the Schengen area and still getting EU subsidies?

    Out with the traitors, now!

  22. So, on to December 6. On that day, the Hungarian presidency of the #EUCouncil shared a report that summarised the member states’ discussions on these proposals so far.

    Their verdict: All well and good, but please do think about the competencies of the member states. And of course, national security needs to remain with us. We can expand some existing EU structures, but member states need to be in the lead.
