Vor 1 Woche endete #FnF2022 mit einem Besuch im EU-Parlament in #Brüssel.

Deutschsprachige NGOs waren z.B. durch @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected] und uns gut vertreten.

An der Beteiligung der osteuropäischen Zivilgesellschaft müssen wir noch arbeiten.

Learning about #ChatControl at #fnf2022 was reminded of the story last month of a man whose google ac was shut down after he'd sent a medical photo of his son's groin to their doctor & an AI had flagged it as CSAM. Even after learning of its mistake Google refused to lift the ban https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/aug/22/google-csam-account-blocked.

#ChatControl is draft EU legislation with laudable goal of ending the sharing of CSAM – but has so many negative consequences & risks. You can feedback on it til 12 Sept https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/12726-Fighting-child-sexual-abuse-detection-removal-and-reporting-of-illegal-content-online_en

RT @fnf_eu: Now that #FnF2022 is over, let's thank those members of the European Parliament who made this barcamp possible:
@echo_pbreyer, @piratkolaja, @ErnstCornelia and @SaskiaBricmont!

Last but not least, we thank all the volunteers and participants who made this #FreedomNotFear happen!

On #fnf2022 I learned the word #TechnoSolutionism.

It means the reflex to try to solve any problem with technology, without questioning the assumption if every societal problem can be solved with technology.

There is, by the way, one very important side effect of this: Once we give a problem to a computer to solve, it’s suddenly not our problem any more. If it goes wrong, that’s a technicality now. A great way to deflect responsibility.

At @fnf #freedomnotfear #fnf2022 I encountered so many cool people fighting for our digital rights! Although a lot of it feels like an uphill battle, those people are actually making a difference.

If you have enough of shouting your frustration at social media and want to make a difference, there is a lot to be done.

So keep an eye out for #fnf2023 or have a look at https://edri.org/about-us/our-network/ for cool organizations near you which would certainly appreciate your help.

#FnF2022 is leaving #Brussels.

We will be back!
