📆 And it's that time of the year again!
👮 Europol, the EU's police cooperation agency released its new "TESAT" report, summarising all the info received from national police about terrorist "trends" in Europe.

Every year, Europol pretends (with this report full of graphs and statistics) to objectively describe the characteristics and modus operandi of "right-wing" vs "left-wing and anarchist" terrorists.

But the difference in framing is striking :blobPikaFacepaw:

Hello people!
The Commission has put out their public consultation questionnaire on #dataretention 💀
Deadline: 12 September - we have time :)

⚠️ WATCH OUT some of the questions are REALLY tricky and misguiding.

@edri@eupolicy.social will put out during the summer an answering guide to help you understand the intentions and context behind some of these questions & hopefully to avoid falling in some of these traps 🕳️

Follow @edri@eupolicy.social and look out for the answering guide ✌️

With @je5perl@eupolicy.social and other EDRi members, we just submitted our "feedback" to the European Commission's terrible plans regarding mass data retention :blobPikaFail:

👉 https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/14680-Impact-assessment-on-retention-of-data-by-service-providers-for-criminal-proceedings-/F3567051_en

The number of submissions is soon reaching 5000 (!), with a fight between police authorities and very critical & concerned individuals.

Would you like to join the party?🥳 You have until midnight today 🕛

(💡ProTip: a few lines to say that this is a bad idea is enough)

@je5perl@eupolicy.social and I have tried to make it as easy as possible :blobPikaFail: to understand the implications of the #HADOPI judgment by the Court of Justice of the EU ⚖️ for the upcoming new EU #DataRetention legislative proposal (due in 2026)

Technical but important for digital rights and the fight against mass surveillance👇
