@Beautybaerchi @ub_lmu @pampel @ublmu Es geht hier wohl um richtig große #Daten Mengen - das war auch Thema im letzten Interview mit Dr. Dorothea Sommer @bsbmuenchen "Wir wollen nicht, das unsere Daten im großen Stil abgesaugt werden.

"The EU’s leadership is now on a precipice. Our push for digital sovereignty was driven by concern that the US Cloud Act might give the US administration access to US-owned data centres in Europe. Yet, today the European Commission is considering a deal with the US authorities to share the personal data of European citizens in exchange for the continuation of visa-waiver scheme.

This is not diplomatic negotiation; it is a fundamental test of Europe’s backbone. If digital sovereignty is to mean anything, declarations and investment aren’t enough. It must be a reality in practice.

The illusion of reciprocity
The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) has been clear in arguing that the European Commission should refuse this deal because the agreement is not truly reciprocal.

In the world of international diplomacy, a deal implies a fair exchange. But under the framework being discussed, European citizens data would flow toward US law enforcement and intelligence agencies without equivalent protections or access for Europeans in return.

When we talk about sharing data with US authorities, we are talking about the intimate details of European lives being subjected to a legal system that does not recognise the values and protections of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights."
