4/4 Let's be clear: these excessive demands are nothing less than blackmail from the US. We're calling on EU leaders to fight to protect our fundamental rights against yet another instance of the US bullying the EU into dismantling key safeguards: don't sell our data to the US 🚫 ➡️ https://edri.org/our-work/the-eu-is-about-to-sell-our-most-sensitive-data-to-the-us-for-visa-free-travel/

@edri@eupolicy.social What does this mean for people who are not travelling to the US? Because: if US autorities have access to sensitive data of EU people, what or who is making sure that this access is reliably limited to the data of people who are really travelling to the US?

@edri@eupolicy.social thank you for being on top of this! PS. The announcement of the important article starts with "The European Commission".. Wouldn't it be a good idea to then also tag @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu in the post?

@edri@eupolicy.social Dear EU, Do not sign any deals with the Tr💩mp administration. They cannot be trusted to carry out their end of any deal (or even understand what they're agreeing to). Let them impose all the sanctions they want, cutting off their own noses to spite their faces. You're better off without them. Things will change soon, one way or another, and whatever deal you make now will probably not reflect that reality. Sincerely, me

@edri@eupolicy.social I agree with your points. One thing I think may be happening is a deliberate effort by the people behind Heritage 2024 to insulate the USA from the rest of the world. The reason appears to be to limit or prevent #USian interaction with anyone who is not from the #USA. At a guess this would be to improve META's control over what citizens think and how they vote.
