Help make the EU #DigitalServicesAct a game-changer for our digital rights! Thursday, the Civil Liberties Committee‘s proposals to #FixTheDSA will be voted in the European Parliament.

Every year, data leaks expose millions of EU citizens' data to cyber-criminals.

We plan to enshrine the right to use and pay for services anonymous-ly in the #DigitalServicesAct, to protect citizens privacy, and reduce the impact of data leaks.

#FixTheDSA Image
More and more governments have been abusing their powers to spy on citizens.

The #DigitalServicesAct should ensure your data can only be handed over following a court order to investigate & prosecute serious crime or threats to public security.

#FixTheDSA Image
When Internet Service Providers block access to sites, they often block more than intended, depriving us of access to legal content.

We propose the #DigitalServicesAct ensures illegal content is removed at the source, not clumsily blocked by ISPs.

#FixTheDSA Image
Decisions about content-legality are often made by government-controlled authorities, not courts. This has resulted in censorship.

To protect #FreedomOfExpression and #MediaFreedom, we plan to ensure legality of content is evaluated by the courts, not govern-ments.

#FixTheDSA Image
The #DigitalServicesAct would allow Orban to remove content all over the EU.

Satirical religious caricatures could also be removed because are il-legal in some countries.

We want to #FixTheDSA so that content is only removed for the re-questing Member State, not the whole EU! Image
More and more, large platforms are abusing their power to censor users that stand up to them or express dissenting views.

To protect freedom of expression, let‘s #FixTheDSA and ensure plat-forms cannot arbitrarily suppress legal content or act against those sharing it. Image
Due to the ever-growing amount of content online, companies have resorted to using unreliable algorithms to remove illegal content.

We want to #FixtheDSA, so that these filters can only be used on con-tent that has already been identified as illegal regardless of context. Image
Everything we see online is decided by platforms' algorithms.

These algorithms promote extreme and fringe views (antivax, conspiracy, hate) in a quest for clicks.

We want to #FixTheDSA & give users a right to a timeline without #AlgorithmicManipulation. Image

🇪🇺 1/7 🌍 Foreign-funded lobby groups from outside the EU are pushing #ChatControl with misleading propaganda. They want to #PassTheLaw to scan your chats, but who are they and who's paying them? Let's expose the network.
Thread 👇 The graphic displays a red padlock at the center, surrounded by two robotic hands. A world map appears in the background. The text criticizes foreign-funded lobby groups advocating for the “ChatControl” law.
2/7 The players:
• The Internet Watch Foundation (@IWFhotline) is 🇬🇧UK-based and funded by the tech industry. Often cited in this debate—but not EU-based.
@IWFhotline 3/7 • Then Brussels-based Eurochild (@Eurochild_org)—largely 🇪🇺EU Commission-funded (yep, the #ChatControl proposers) plus Oak Foundation (@oakfnd) funding from 🇨🇭Switzerland (foundation led by ex-US diplomat 🇺🇸). 💰

🇫🇷 1/7 🌍 Des lobbys financés de l'étranger poussent au #ChatControl avec une propagande trompeuse. Ils veulent #PassTheLaw pour scanner vos conversations, mais qui sont-ils et qui les finance ? Démasquons ce réseau.
Thread 👇 Image numérique représentant l'influence étrangère. Au centre, un cadenas rouge entouré de mains robotiques. En arrière-plan, une carte du monde. Le texte dénonce des groupes financés par des entités étrangères soutenant la loi "ChatControl".
2/7 Les acteurs principaux :
• Internet Watch Foundation (@IWFhotline) - basée au 🇬🇧Royaume-Uni, financée par l'industrie tech.
@IWFhotline 3/7 • Eurochild (@Eurochild_org) - basée à Bruxelles, financée surtout par la 🇪🇺Commission UE (oui, ceux qui proposent le #ChatControl) plus des fonds de la 🇨🇭Oak Foundation (@oakfnd) qui est dirigée par un ancien diplomate 🇺🇸américain. 💰

🚨 #Chatkontrolle BLITZ-ALARM - DEINE Chats in Gefahr!
1️⃣ EU belügt Kinderschützer 😡
2️⃣ BMI pusht Fake-Kompromiss 🕵️‍♂️
3️⃣ Morgen könnte 🇩🇪 sie durchwinken ⏰

📞 RUFT MINISTERIEN/ABGEORDNETE AN — JEDER ANRUF RETTET PRIVATSPHÄRE! 🔥

2/6
DIE TÄUSCHUNG: Die EU-Kommission verkauft die #Chatkontrolle an Kinderschützer als „beschränktere Version der heutigen Möglichkeiten“.

FALSCH! Es wäre eine weltweit einzigartige AUSWEITUNG der Überwachung auf ALLE, auch verschlüsselte, private Chats.patrick-breyer.de/chatkontrolle-…
3/6
DER DRUCK: Das CSU-Innenministerium versucht, bis morgen ein JA des SPD-Justizministeriums zum geheim gehaltenen #Chatkontrolle-Deal zu erzwingen.

Zu demselben Vorschlag, der schon 2024 scheiterte & laut Juristischem Dienst des EU-Rats grundrechtswidrig ist! 🏛️🔥

🇩🇪#Chatkontrolle: EU-Bürgerbeauftragte kritisiert, dass EU-Kommission interne Kritik geheim hält. Auch Rechtsgutachten des Juristischen Dienstes und Lobbyschreiben des US-Überwachungsdienstleisters Thorn bleiben weiter unter Verschluss. (1/2)ombudsman.europa.eu/de/decision/de…
EU-Bürgerbeauftragte sieht "Missstand" wegen "starkem öffentlichem Interesse an der Offenlegung", "auch im Hinblick auf die betreffenden Grundrechte".

Karten auf den Tisch @magnusbrunner! (2/2)
@magnusbrunner 🇬🇧#Chatcontrol: EU Ombudsman again criticises EU Commission for keeping internal criticism secret. Legal Service advice on compliance with our fundamental rights and Thorn's lobby letters are also being withheld from us. (1/2)ombudsman.europa.eu/en/decision/en…
