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

🇬🇧 Huge successes and major setbacks after the vote on the #DigitalServicesAct. We won backing for a right to use services anonymously, but there will be mandatory 📱number registration for adult content creators.

Find out who supported and who opposed your digital rights 🧵⬇
Personal information of millions of EU citizens is hacked and leaked again and again, fuelling cybercrime.

We were now able to secure a majority for a right to use and pay for digital services anonymously in the #DigitalServicesAct!
#Breakthrough Image
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.

Helft uns dabei, den #DigitalServicesAct zu einem Befreiungsschlag für unsere Rechte im Netz zu machen! Am Donnerstag wird im EU-Parlament über die folgenden Änderungsanträge des Innenausschusses abgestimmt.

Wendet euch an eure Europaabgeordneten!

Hier erfahrt ihr mehr 🧵⬇
Jedes Jahr erhalten Cyberkriminelle durch Datenlecks persönliche Infos von Millionen EU-Bürgern.

Wir wollen ein Recht auf anonyme Nutzung und Bezahlung von Diensten im #DigitalServicesAct verankern, um eure Privatsphäre zu schützen und Datenlecks zu verhindern!

#FixtheDSA Image
Immer mehr Regierungen missbrauchen ihre Befugnisse, um Bürger auszuspionieren.

Der #DigitalServicesAct sollte sicherstellen, dass eure Daten nur auf richterliche Anordnung und bei schweren Verbrechen oder Gefahrenlagen abgegriffen werden dürfen!

👍Deutschland gegen EU-Pläne zur #Chatkontrolle aller Privatnachrichten!
Koalitionsvertrag: "Maßnahmen zum Scannen privater Kommunikation ... lehnen wir ab."
Das "Recht auf #Verschlüsselung" wird festgeschrieben.
Die von der Leyen-Kommission muss ihre Pläne jetzt stoppen!
👍Deutschland fordert: "Biometrische Erkennung im öffentlichen Raum ... sind europarechtlich auszuschließen". Rückendeckung für #ReclaimYourFace beim geplanten KI-Gesetz der EU!

🇩🇪 Die Kommission will Daten über euren Aufenthaltsort & private Kommunikation sammeln und speichern (#Vorratsdatenspeicherung). Aber wenn es darum geht, ihre eigene Korrespondenz aufzuzeichnen, ist sie plötzlich weniger begeistert!

Dokumenten-Leaks zeigen, dass die Kommission die EU-weite Wiedereinführung der verdachtslosen #Vorratsdatenspeicherung berät. spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzp…

🇩🇪 Die EU-Vorschriften zum Versenden biometrischer Daten sind völlig veraltet und könnten die Sicherheit der äußerst sensiblen personenbezogenen Daten von EU-Bürger:innen gefährden.

Ein Thread zum #EuropeanCybersecurityMonth #ECSM
THREAD (1/7)🧵⬇ Image
Warum ist das so und was ist zu tun?
⬇⬇
Im Jahr 2008 legte die EU Verschlüsselungsstandards für die polizeiliche Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten fest.(2/7)
Diese inzwischen überholten Bestimmungen erregten die Aufmerksamkeit der Presse, als sie in das Handels- und Kooperationsabkommen zwischen der EU und dem Vereinigten Königreich übernommen wurden (3/7)

🇬🇧 EU encryption standards for cross-border exchange of biometric data are outdated and could be compromising the security of extremely sensitive personal information of EU citizens.

On #EuropeanCybersecurityMonth, find out why and how the EU could fix it! #ECSM
THREAD (1/5)🧵⬇ Image
In 2008, the EU agreed on encryption standards for police cooperation between Member States. These long outdated provisions caught the attention of the press when they were copy-pasted into the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (2/5) theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
We decided to investigate and found that the 2008 law, which is still in force today, mandates the use of encryption standards shown to be flawed in the 2010s. The law has not been updated since. (3/5)
