After 5 years of battling Meta at the Polish court Panoptykon & SIN have finally won!
Warsaw District Court ruled that the ‘Civil Society Drug Policy Initiative’s (‘SIN’) Facebook page was blocked unlawfully.
Big day for #FreedomOfExpression

It's great that #AIAct has reached a political agreement. But I would have loved to hear/read its latest discussions in a public space -- instead of relying on tweets or status updates on private platforms.
We deserve more transparency in the approval process of EU laws

"At a time of reckoning in Europe regarding systemic racism in policing it is surely reckless to legalise a technology infamous for compounding discrimination"
Allowing predictive policing based on racial profiling shouldn't even be a discussion-@brandobenifei hold strong! #AIAct

This is a joke. EU governments have refused to listen to human rights experts about the risks of all forms of biometric surveillance, and now Parliament are being pressured to give in on such an important question of human rights. #BanBiometricMassSurveillance
#AI Act: the Council is pushing for allowing law enforcement to conduct biometric categorisation based on race. Pressure is on Parliament to accept the package deal on prohibitions.

#AIAct trilogue: As EU policymakers prepare for this unexpected second round, a 🧵on the remaining dividing lines and the positions of the actors involved. Spoiler alert: Much will depend on co-rapporteur @brandobenifei and the EU Parliament's centre-left. 1/8

7⃣+ years ago we went live with the CIVICUS Monitor!
Our brilliant & vigilant research partners have turned it into a global tool to track the latest threats & trends facing civil society.
Together we exist to monitor #civicspace in every country 🔴🟡🟢: web.civicus.org/ResearchPart…

This Weds is (possibly) the final EU #AIAct negotiation. Governments have been resistant to any limitation on police use of AI, despite the massive and well-documented harms.
@edri calls on @EUCouncil to put their money where their mouth is & put people at the heart of the Act
Euroviews | Our governments must be willing to put their money where their mouth is, ensuring that state uses of AI are subject to the same reasonable rules and requirements as any other AI system, @ellajakubowska1 writes.

For the millionth time, it’s either mandatory or self-regulation, you’re either serious about putting rules in place or it’s a political facade so negotiators can say that did something on foundational models without real consequences to please a few companies #AIact

This is huge! Over 300 security researchers & academics warning against the measures in the EU's proposed CSAR #ChatControl law. If lawmakers press ahead with this dangerous law regardless, it will show a complete disregard for scientific evidence. Read more 👇

The DSA Human Rights Alliance is a group of human rights organizations, representing diverse communities across the globe. Today, we've sent a letter to EU regulators to make sure that global voices are included when enforcing the Digital Services Act. ⬇️

Greatly enjoyed today's #DSA stakeholder event. Kudos for @ka_iwanska, @EPirkova for their contributions! I feel inspired and will now work on @Liberties' brief on civic discourse risk assessment with renewed energies.
🤩@EPirkova @accessnow on risk assessments #DigitalServicesAct. Keep your 👀 peeled for upcoming report w/ @enablingNGOlaw!

BREAKING: The European Parliament has adopted the #AI Act with an overwhelming majority. No last-minute amendment outside the text adopted at the committee level made it, including those from the European People's Party on Remote Biometric Identification.

❣️At Liberties, we believe everyone should be free to be who they are and love who they love.❣️

🚨1/7 The @Europarl_EN votes on the #AIAct next week.
✊🏾 Over 250,000 people are calling on MEPs to BAN biometric #MassSurveillance #BMS such as "real-time" and "post" remote biometric identification.
This week, we took the people's demands to MEPs to make our voices heard!
