#EUPolicy in action: the European Parliament is hearing the Commissioner-designates soon. As @npub1vt6l...u84h pointed out, the answers of Commissioner-designate for "Internal Affairs and Migration", Magnus #Brunner, to a first set of written questions were disappointing when it comes to #DataRetention and #ChatControl.

This weekend a small group of volunteers involved with preparing #FnF24 participated in a professional workshop on #awareness / protection and care. We want to do our best to help creating a safe environment for everyone at the conference and to support participants if needed. If this is something you also want to contribute to this year, don't hesitate to get in touch. A big thank you to @npub10nt6...wrun for enabling our participation in this training! #FreedomNotFear
Join us this winter for the coolest (pun intended) EU Data Privacy (un)conference yet! It is all DIY. We’re talking European democracy, human-centered tech, and the future of keeping our digital lives secure. Early birds get the worm … and possibly a travel cost reimbursement!

The Hungarian presidency in the Council of the EU has proposed another text for the #ChatControl file. It is to be discussed by the law enforcement working party in Council on Monday (23 September). Experts widely criticise Chat Control e.g. for attacking #E2EE, IT-security and violating (European) fundamental rights. The #GlobalEncryptionCoalition now warns that the Hungarian proposal fails to resolve the problems of the regulation and calls on governments to reject it:
