🇬🇧I rarely commend states for taking “steps in the right direction” because I rarely see or hear such steps. This is one. Forza UK: millions are behind you. Next step: undoing the previous government’s legacy of repressing civil society for opposing genocide. #ForzaUK #CivilLiberties #GenocideJustice #GB
People have no idea how bad its getting in Budapest. The vain dictator @magyarpeterMP posts selfies while he celebrates undermining civil liberties and destroys the country’s economy. Anne Applebaum supported this. She blocked me after becoming an authoritarian lunatic. https://t.co/gxqLRMZIoH #Budapest #CivilLiberties #Authoritarianism #HU
If personal data crosses borders, legal protections must too. I've asked the government how any future EU-US agreement would comply with the GDPR, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and European case law. ⚖️🤔 #DataPrivacy #GDPR #VisaWaiver #CivilLiberties #EBSP #DataPrivacy #GDPR #CivilLiberties #EU #US

A leaked EU-US draft raises concerns about broader access to biometric data under the Visa Waiver Program. Before any agreement moves forward, we need answers on privacy, GDPR compliance, and democratic oversight. 🇱🇺📋 #DataPrivacy #GDPR #VisaWaiver #CivilLiberties #EBSP #DataPrivacy #GDPR #VisaWaiver #LU
“A slow accumulation of permissions that governments grant themselves while the public is distracted.” - Well put. The architecture of population surveillance is being put in place, piece by piece, and it is *always*, supposedly, for our “protection.” It is not too late to fight #SurveillanceState #PrivacyRights #CivilLiberties #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Turkish authorities have carried out hundreds of arrests, banned protests and curbed media freedoms ahead of the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara, with campaigners accusing the government of using the gathering as a pretext for a clampdown on civil society https://t.co/JK5fLpR7Jm #NATO #Turkey #CivilLiberties #TR #NATO
Hong Kong's government has proposed new legislation that would allow the city's leader to determine which criminal acts are considered national security offences, a move criticized as a further erosion of freedoms and an enhancement of executive power without adequate checks, following the imposition of national security laws after the 2019 democracy protests. #NationalSecurity #HongKong #CivilLiberties

The U.S. Department of Justice has issued an opinion asserting its right to demand unredacted voter rolls from states, despite multiple federal court rulings confirming that states are not obligated to provide such information, as part of its effort to ensure that ineligible voters, including noncitizens, are not registered to vote. #VotingRights #ElectionIntegrity #CivilLiberties #US #CA #OR #MI #MA #RI #AZ #DC
EU se nesmí chovat jako vlády v Minsku, Moskvě nebo Pekingu. Pevně zakotvené občanské svobody jsou jednou z hlavních věcí, které Evropu odlišují od ostatních. Všechny pokusy zničit svobodný internet musíme rázně odmítnout, dokud je čas. Přečtěte si celý můj komentář pro @e15_cz https://t.co/DYeYQyEAAl #CivilLiberties #FreeInternet #EUValues #BY #RU #CN

Poland, together with many Western countries, is still a wonderful oasis of freedom and civil liberties. Let's appreciate what we have because freedom is the fruit of a healthy and mature culture, as well as a complex social structure based on good will. It is easy to spoil it, and much harder to... (Original: Polska przy wielu państwach zachodnich jest ciągle wspaniałą oazą wolności i swobód obywatelskich. Doceniajmy to co mamy bo wolność jest owocem zdrowej i dojrzałej kultury oraz opartej na dobrej woli, skomplikowanej konstrukcji społecznej. Łatwo ją zepsuć, a dużo trudniej) #Freedom #CivilLiberties #Appreciation #PL

Advokáti pro občanská práva podali nový žalobu, aby zabránili Texaským úřadům v prosazování částí zákona z roku 2023, který by umožnil zatýkání a stíhání osob podezřelých z nelegálního překročení hranice USA s Mexikem, a to poté, co odvolací soud umožnil, aby tato opatření vstoupila v platnost. #ImmigrationRights #CivilLiberties #TexasLaw
