1/5📍#ChatControl: Today, following a lot of public pressure, representatives of the EU member states have finally agreed on their position to remove arguably the most controversial part of the #CSARegulation: the requirement for message and email services to scan users' private communications. 🔑 This is a key development. We, along with hundreds of experts, have criticised this part of the law for undermining the presumption of innocence and posing an existential threat to #encryption.

2/2 In 2026, the Commission is preparing even broader expansions of Europol and Frontex powers, deepening the criminalisation of migration, solidarity, and dissent. The fight is not over. ✊🏾 As #ProtectNotSurveil, we’re building collective resistance to stop the expansion of the EU’s digital surveillance state and to protect everyone’s rights and safety. Read our analysis of the expansion of Europol's powers ➡️ 📄.pdf

1/2 🚨 Today the European Parliament voted to expand Europol’s powers and funding, accelerating the growth of the EU’s digital #surveillance state.

📝 Read this fantastic op-ed by our very own @npub1z72c...cfx0 about the "sweeping rewrite of the EU’s core digital protections" in the #DigitalOmnibus proposals presented by the European Commission last week. 🚨 Itxaso touches on which of our #DigitalRights are under threat and what happens to our lives if they fall - including implications for how we access healthcare, apply for a job, seek housing, or move through public space ⤵️ View quoted note →

🚧 Europe faces a defining choice: uphold our digital laws & defend European digital self-determination, or cave to pressure from Trump, Big Tech and corporate lobbies. 🪧 Yesterday in Brussels, with @PeopleVsBigTech, we launched mobile billboards urging the @European Commission to stand up for its citizens & democracy. The “Digital Omnibus” would reopen and weaken the GDPR, ePrivacy & the AI Act, lowering safeguards & expanding surveillance by both states & corporations ➡️

1/4 🚨 The Digital Omnibus proposals are here - and our rights and protections online are officially under threat 🚨 The proposals published today endanger the very core of EU's digital protections for people - the #GDPR, #ePrivacy and the #AIAct.

🗳️ Last Thursday, the European Parliament approved the EU–Singapore Digital Trade Agreement, rejecting a motion to refer it to the Court of Justice for a legality check. Under the banner of “free trade,” this binding deal prioritises business over privacy, accountability, and democratic control of digital systems. What’s at stake isn’t just one agreement with Singapore: embedding weak safeguards in trade law now could lock in lower standards for years to come. More ➡️
