That Privacy Guy

Today the European Commission will publish a proposal for a new law which will make the interception, analysis and monitoring of *ALL* digital communications (messengers, forums, direct messages etc.) mandatory.

Let me be clear - this is ILLEGAL under EU Treaties and Case Law under the principles of proportionality and necessity. This new law will turn the EU into a surveillance state.

500 million citizens will be subjected to complete blanket surveillance - the impact on privacy will be profound. Everything we have fought for since 1949 - our values, our principles, our democracy and our human rights, will be undone with the scratch of a pen.

I tried to fight this throughout 2020/2021 - spoke at multiple European Parliament sessions about why this is such a bad idea and why it will be ineffective and actually simply cause more harm to survivors of child sexual abuse.

I broke down in tears speaking at the European Parliament about my abuse and why this law will only serve to harm survivors and victims of sexual abuse.

You cannot even begin to imagine how humiliating it was for me to have to go through that in order to try to save our fundamental human rights from this misguided and dangerous law - it almost destroyed me and took me weeks to recover from reliving that trauma.

I was raped - many times. My life was ripped away from me by those who were entrusted to care for me. My dignity was shattered, my world was destroyed for 24 years as I lived in isolation - alone and so badly damaged that I tried to take my life multiple times.

It destroyed my relationship with my partner and our children (whom I have not seen now for 10 years) and now the Commission and our politicians will cause even more violence.

children will die because of this legislation because our politicans and law makers do not have the *courage* to address this issue in a rational and comprehensive manner.

(Thank you @echo_pbreyer for being one of the few politicians with the balls and decency to stand against this dangerous law).
