Frédéric JacobsHow would that be even remotely acceptable?!
"Under the proposed EU-US EBSP framework, the DHS[/ICE] would gain access to national biometric databases for the purposes of immigration screening and vetting [...] The draft agreement seen by Euractiv also allows for the transfer of “special categories” of personal data – for example on political opinions, trade union memberships, information about a person’s sex life or their biometric data.”

FridaThe EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy!

You will find this verbiage on a lot of Android TV streaming boxes for sale at the major retailers. There's a very good reason the country that makes this crap doesn't want it on their own networks. My advice: If you have one of these Android streaming boxes on your network or get one as a gift, toss it in the trash.
