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.

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/
