Today I filed a formal complaint against @YouTube with the @DPCIreland for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies on the basis that such a deployment requires #consent under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC.

(more) I recommend everyone else does the same in order to ensure that the DPC acts quickly on this issue.

You can file your own complaint here:

Charities are facing issues with fundraising at a time when we are relying on them more than ever - due to a legal problem in seeking donations.

I'll be in Brussels next week discussing this with politicians - please reach out if you want to meet.

Today (now) LIBE Group in the EU Parliament will debate a proposed law which will require total surveillance of ALL online communications and messenger services of ALL EU persons.

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.

#privacy #humanrights #chatcontrol #surveillance #dignity #csam 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.
