✊🏾 The strict enforcement of EU’s tech laws is not up for negotiation!
Yesterday, the @EUCommission confirmed plans to open a new “formal dialogue” with the 🇺🇸 gov on EU tech law enforcement. Framed as cooperation, this could create a backdoor for Big Tech to weaken EU'slandmark rules.
The #DSA, #DMA, #AIAct & #GDPR exist to protect people, safeguard democracy & rein in Big Tech. If the Commission seeks enforcement dialogue, it should do so with the people in 
& public interest groups.
More closed-door discussions with the Trump administration won’t strengthen cooperation, they will undermine trust, transparency, and in the worst case even the EU’s ability to enforce its own rules.
Together with other civil society organisations, we call on the @EUCommission to halt this “dialogue” and focus on stronger, faster, and more transparent enforcement of Europe’s digital laws.

In reaction to the recent plan to “open a formal dialogue” with the US government on EU tech rules, EDRi and other civil society organisations urge the Commission to halt this plan that risks giving Big Tech a back door to weaken the EU digital rulebook and its enforcement.

Sadly, the @EUCommission has made its opinion on our fundamental rights pretty clear by now. To them, our rights are either "unnecessary regulatory red tape" to cut or just something to hand over to another government that will (and already does) violate them over and over again.
Those are our rights! Ours to have, not theirs to curtail and barter!
