✊🏾 Reject the expansion of Europol’s powers!

Members of the #ProtectNotSurveil coalition, including EDRi's @chlobemy, have recently published a much-noticed opinion piece on the #Europol reform.

European Digital Rights (EDRi)Why the new Europol regulation is a Trojan Horse for surveillance - European Digital Rights (EDRi)The EU Commission’s proposal for a new Europol Regulation is a pretext for unchecked expansion of power and resources for Europol.

The #ProtectNotSurveil coalition has called on the European Commission to not expand digital surveillance against migrants.

The proposed legislation would grant Europol new mass surveillance powers, put lives at risk, and criminalise migrants and solidarity organisers.

Bündnis #ProtectNotSurveil: #Europol-Reform ablehnen!

Statt Menschen auf der Flucht zu schützen, würde ein Vorschlag der EU-Kommission Menschen weniger sicher machen und kriminalisieren.
Mit dabei: 💸💶💰. 50 zusätzliche Stellen und 50 Millionen zusätzliches Budget für Europol, u.a. für biometrische Überwachungstechnik.

Stay tuned for the #ProtectNotSurveil position paper on the #Europol reform TOMORROW!

The European Commission is claims to protect vulnerable asylum seekers, but beneath this veneer lies a far more insidious reality. In truth, this approach fuels harm and discrimination towards people on the move while empowering the EU’s policing agency with unprecedented surveillance capabilities and insufficient oversight.

We know you can’t wait to read it. So here’s a sneak peek:
➡️ euobserver.com/migration/ar62d

EUobserver · Why the new Europol regulation is a Trojan Horse for surveillanceThe EU Commission is framing these proposals as a humanitarian effort to “curb exploitation” by “ruthless smuggling gangs” — but this disguises a more insidious reality.

The European Commission plans to expand #Europol’s digital surveillance powers under the guise of “preventing and fighting migrant smuggling”. Reality check: The EU’s own border and migration policies force people on the move into life-threatening situations.
“Anti-smuggling” narratives are used to conceal the EU’s responsibility for putting migrant’s lives at risk and to legitimise data sharing with third countries.

Remember how #Europol got involved in #ChatControl, one of the EU’s most controversial proposals of all time?
The so called “Chat Control” legislation would have providers scan private messages on the devices of users. Europol asked to extend the scope of content scanned for, requested unfiltered access to the data and asked to be able to use it for any purpose, e.g. extending their AI surveillance capabilities.

Catch up on the full story here:

Balkan Insight · Europol Sought Unlimited Data Access in Online Child Sexual Abuse RegulationAccording to minutes released under FOI, the European police agency pushed for unfiltered access to data that would be obtained under a proposed new scanning system for detecting child sexual abuse images on messaging apps, with a view, experts say, to training AI algorithms.

Natalie Gruber helped people in need who suffered violent pushbacks – and experienced first hand what it is like to be falsely criminalised and land in a #Europol database.

The latest Europol reform proposal would worsen the criminalisation of solidarity.

In a powerful article she shares her experience and reminds us of the agency’s role in the violent European border regime.

Did you know #Europol is a “data black hole”? ⚫

In 2022 the European Data Protection Supervisor (Europol's watchdog) ordered the agency to delete personal data amassed unlawfully.

But Europol wanted to use it to train AI policing systems and sat out the order until the last Europol reform retroactively legalised this illegal data collection.

UMETNA INTELIGENCA MORA SLUŽITI LJUDEM

Akt o umetni inteligenci, ki ga je sprejela EU, še vedno vključuje ševilne vrzeli, ki odpirajo vrata zlorabam – posebej na področju biometričnega nadzora in migracij.

S civilnodružbeno koalicijo za akt o umetni inteligenci in koalicijo #ProtectNotSurveil Evropski urad za umetno inteligenco pozivamo, naj s prihajajočimi smernicami zagotovi, da bo izvajanje zakonodaje temeljilo na zaščiti pravic vseh ljudi!

The EU's #AIAct experts consultation on the definition of an AI system and on prohibited AI practices closed on Dec 11. But loopholes still threaten #FundamentalRights.

The #AIActCivilSociety and the #ProtectNotSurveil coalitions demand guidelines that ban #SocialScoring, #BiometricSurveillance, and other harmful practices. We call on the AI Office to ensure the upcoming guidelines will provide a fundamental rights-based enforcement of the AI Act.

Die Änderungen am sogenannten "#Sicherheitspaket" der Bundesregierung liegen @netzpolitik_feed vor und es zeigt sich: die versprochenen Anpassungen sind ein schlechter Witz der #Ampel:
Das #Unsicherheitspaket bleibt unverhältnismäßig, eine Ermächtigung zur biometrischen Überwachung und Teil einer unmenschlichen #Asylpolitik.

Bereits letzte Woche hatten in Berlin kurzfristig 1000 Menschen gegen die Pläne demonstriert, wie @netzpolitik_feed berichtet:

Heute um 12 Uhr findet im Innenausschuss des Bundestags eine öffentliche Anhörung zum #Unsicherheitspaket statt.

Es wird einen Livestream geben: bundestag.de/ausschuesse/a04_i
