40 orgas across Europe. We call on the EU to ban biometric mass surveillance.
For a future in which we are treated like humans, not walking barcodes, in which we are respected and not humiliated, discriminated against or treated like crime suspects, in which our options are not limited by an algorithm based on our body and looks.
Now's the time to act!
The tech is out there, but the EU is drafting new laws on AI.
@tleb You can bypass the newsletter's questions.
@gallus @reclaimyourface
I know, I did that. That doesn't make it less shady
@tleb We understand what you mean and we agree with you.
Hi hi @tleb
1. Yes, because it's an official EU petition, one must give their full name and whatever your country requires (sometimes ID, sometimes address, see pg 16 for details:https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2011:065:0001:0022:EN:PDF)
2. What @gallus says, you can totally sign the ECI without newsletter.
@reclaimyourface @tleb @gallus the data collection and retention (includes the exact time span it can be saved) is also explained here: https://europa.eu/citizens-initiative/faq_en#Data-protection
This seems to be sorted. Signed, then was asked if wanted the newsletter.
@reclaimyourface yay, I'm on the map
@reclaimyourface unfortunately I get internal server error when trying to sign. :/
@sirmacik @reclaimyourface Same here... Please fix 
@0xDEADCAT @sirmacik we're troubleshooting, apparently it might be related to special characters in names or "document types". More info coming soon.
@reclaimyourface @0xDEADCAT @sirmacik Also, after signing you are presented all the #GAFAM sites to share the info to. But guess what's missing? Mastodon! Please add. :)
Aloha, @marco! We're working on adding both Mastodon and Signal in there!
@0xDEADCAT @sirmacik Hey people, all should work now!
@reclaimyourface it worked, thank you!
@reclaimyourface Also, if you have signed that, also have a look on other ECIs and consider supporting them.
@reclaimyourface
Hi, two questions: is all this information required? Why the shady practices on the form? It has for header "Support this initiative proposed by European Union citizens" and "join" but it tries to sign you up to a newsletter before signing.
