2/4 This 'Enhanced Border Security Partnership' Framework Agreement would mean an automated exchange of personal data, including highly sensitive information, and access to EU biometric databases to screen and identify travellers. In short, the US is demanding excessive and unfettered access to information and sensitive personal data of people in the EU, intensifying #surveillance 🙅🏽‍♀️ A leak of the draft agreeement shows that the Commission is giving into US's demands and risking our rights.

3/4 This is extremely worrying because: ⚠️ The US has a track record of blatant disregard for human rights, inhumane treatment of migrants and visitors, and unlawfully screening travellers' social media profiles - the EU has demanded no protections against this. ⚠️ This could be used to target people who oppose the Trump administration, support trans rights, or are protesting against the genocide in Gaza - they could be detained at borders.

@edri@eupolicy.social How to finance universal basic income for every person in the EU ? Give the EU commission a GDPR fine proportional to the severity and amount of data they will give away.

@edri@eupolicy.social Don't forget the current US government's record of ignoring treaties whenever it suits them - especially after it has sucked whatever value it might have wanted from the treaty.
