We were now able to secure a majority for a right to use and pay for digital services anonymously in the #DigitalServicesAct!
#Breakthrough
Internet corporations use unreliable #uploadfilters against supposedly illegal content - with much collateral damage. The majority won‘t even limit automated censorship to content that is manifestly illegal irrespective of its context.

More and more governments are abusing their powers to spy on citizens. The #DigitalServicesAct should ensure that your data can only be accessed by court order! But unfortunately, MEPs don't see it that way… #rejected

#rejected
