The #CSAM clusterfuck just became even more shitty:

Dutch researcher Danny Mekić has looked at #advertising data from #Twitter & says that the @EU_Commission's #DGHome has used #SurveillanceAds based on prohibited data categories to target people with #disinformation about the #ChatControl proposal.

#YlvaJohansson's department specifically targeted people in member states that had been critical of her proposal but excluded people who are likely to value #privacy.

Undermining Democracy: The European Commission's Controversial Push for Digital Surveillance – Danny Mekić.

I mean seriously, the Commissioner is supposed to listen to the people, not manipulate them to support her policies.

Plus, to me this sounds very much like a breach of Article 26(3) DSA by #Twitter.

Question is: Will the Commission investigate and penalise a breach of #DSA by a #VLOP when it is exposing its own political scandal?

Looks like @edri has hit a nerve: Commissioner #YlvaJohasson has responded on #Twitter claiming that #microtargeting people in carefully selected member states based on prohibited categories of personal data was "standard normal practice". 🤷‍♂️

#DSA #DigitalServicesAct #GDPR

@ilumium @edri doesn't mean @EU_Commission isn't breaking the laws nor that it's anti-democratic and evil.
#NotLegalAdvice OFC.

Also can we please stop that #cyberfacist #figleaf|ing?

@MOGiS already wiped the floor with #Zensursula almost two decades ago, and she still owes everyone who can change #DNS settings an apology for claiming everyone more #TechLiterate than her is a "hardened pedo-criminal"...

I want my #HumanRights and #CivilRights back - all of them since 1949 - WITH INTEREST!
