Ping @EUCommission : The #EUObserver forgot to give the actual open letter - summary [1] + pdf [2] (thanks @edri ). A former #MetaLobbyist is *not* acceptable as the head of any national-level EU #DataProtectionCommission , and Ireland is especially important because of the headquarters of many #GAFAM s that have consistently violated EU citizens' and residents' privacy for many years.

The EU must safeguard independence of data protection authorities - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

The appointment raises serious concerns about impartiality and the credibility of data protection enforcement in the EU.

Ecco perché i tuoi dati potrebbero già essere presenti in un elenco Europol

«A Statewatch abbiamo collaborato con European Digital Rights (EDRi) , una rete europea di esperti con sede a Bruxelles che difende i diritti umani nell’era digitale. Insieme abbiamo pubblicato una guida che incoraggia le persone a richiedere i dati che li riguardano detenuti da Europol»

Why your data might already be on a Europol list

Police forces around Europe seem hooked on the habit of collecting information on a massive scale and forwarding it to the EU's police agency, Europol. This undermines privacy, fair trial rights and the presumption of innocence.

Is this weekend a unique chance for Armenia-Azerbaijan peace?

This Sunday the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia will resume peace talks in Brussels. Some say even it might even lead to peace treaty.

"Affidare la nostra vita digitale ai governi invece che a #Facebook e #Google è passare dalla padella alla brace. Riunire tutti i dati e i documenti in un unico repository espone a violazioni e furti di identità" ha affermato l'eurodeputato @echo_pbreyer del gruppo Greens/EFA.

First glimpse of EU's new 'digital identity wallet'

The European Commission unveiled its plans for an EU 'digital identity wallet' - an app that will allow citizens to store their national digital identification or driver licence on their phones to access public and private services across the EU.

I've spoken to #EUobserver about the power of #BigTech to curb free speech. That power is real but the #Trump ban from social media is the worst example to show that: Trump hasn't been "silenced", he has the attention of the international media. 24/7.

[Analysis] Big tech: From Trump's best friend to censorship machine?

Trump's social-media ban and the power of platforms has come under public scrutiny in Europe. So what went wrong? And what's the best way forward?

Laut einem Bericht des Brüsseler #EUobserver sind Mittel aus dem Haushalt des #EU-Parlaments an den früheren deutschen NPD-Europaabgeordneten Udo #Voigt geflossen. Das Geld soll er für Newsletter verwendet haben, in denen die Schoa geleugnet wurde. https://www.juedische-allgemeine.de/politik/bericht-eu-gelder-fuer-deutsche-holocaustleugner/
