In the letter, EFF explains that claims that surveillance pricing will *lower* prices are overblown and not borne out by evidence. But more importantly - as EFF points out - privacy is a human right, and the idea that you should have to give up your privacy to get a fair price is just a fancy way of saying that privacy should be the exclusive preserve of people who can afford to pay more: https://www.eff.org/wp/privacy-first-better-way-address-online-harms#Legislation 18/

Question for other EU-based online shop owners: How are you going to deal with the upcoming EU PPWR packaging legislation changes[1] and specifically requiring a third party legal person/entity in every single EU member state you want to ship to after August 12, potentially having to contract & pay another EU-wide one-stop service or up to 26 middlemen just so are allowed to ship all EU countries? What happened to the idea of a single market? Some of the "cheaper" offers I found provide conformity declaration and authorized representatives for 1000 Euro per year, yet another cost-of-doing-business fee for ever increasing bureaucracy demands... The law has no exceptions/provisions for small indy shops/providers... Any links/insights/tips you can share?

@therightarticle@mas.to ….. at exactly the same time that the British government is expanding its own surveillance & repressive police state measures - including “terrorism” legislation to criminalise journalism which runs counter to the official state narratives on Israel, Gaza, Iran & the Ukraine/ Russia conflict! Fourteen years in prison for speech. Fourteen years for reporting. Fourteen years for being on the wrong side of a government that now decides what opinions are legal. The Epstein elite everywhere are seeing the writing on the wall & they’re running scared! And we’re supposed to believe that Russia, China, Iran & other repressive regimes are the only “bad guys” in the neighbourhood! #UK #Labour #Terrorism #Dictatorship #Repression #Journalism #Legislation #Starmer #Burnham

That hasn’t stopped #Trump or his allies from continuing to “try” to prove their many baseless claims. In the process, they have sowed doubt & distrust in #US #elections [which is the plan], & called for the passage of #federal #election #legislation known as the SAVE America Act, which #VotingRights advocates say would make it harder for many Americans to vote. #law #Constitution #ElectionInterference #BigLie #TrumpCoup #FBI #DOJ
