You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.
But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.
Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.
If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.
Privacy rights are a priority.
Russia declares #HumanRightsWatch an 'undesirable organization'
“Our work hasn’t changed, but what’s changed, dramatically, is the [Russian] government’s full-throttled embrace of #dictatorial policies, its staggering rise in #repression, and the scope of the #WarCrimes its forces are committing in #Ukraine,” said Philippe Bolopion, executive director at Human Rights Watch.
The designation under #Russia's controversial "undesirable organizations" law prohibits groups from operating within Russia and makes it a criminal offense for individuals to participate in their activities. The law has been widely criticized by #HumanRights advocates.

Last winter's initiative, exactly one year ago 🧣❣️
Now, we need the same efforts to repeat this initiative and buy winter pajamas for the displaced and suffering children of the camp to protect them from this harsh winter❄️🧥😔.
Imagine your child in the place of a child from Gaza. Can you afford this‼️‼️‼️

Rights Groups Issue Urgent Warning Ahead of Critical C-12 Vote - CCLA
A broad coalition of groups sounded an urgent alarm in advance of a critical parliamentary vote on Bill C-12. The bill would open the door to discrimination and violations of human rights and due process in Canada’s immigration system.Tamir Israel (CCLA)

I was wrong about Google and Facebook: there’s nothing wrong with them (so say we all)
It’s always difficult admitting you’re wrong. But sometimes, it’s exactly what you have to do in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.Aral Balkan
Why do I get the feeling that lately, in so many countries, new regulations are popping up with only one purpose - to erode privacy 🔓? It feels like a bad joke. I can't keep up anymore.
I wish I could fight them all at once, put pressure everywhere 🌍, no matter where I live. But I don't have the time. I'm already drowning in an endless to-do list.
Why couldn't the government set a different deadline? Why are they so determined to push this through? My mind can't wrap around it 
I just hope they come to their senses and never implement it 🙏

If you’re unaware, the EU has engaged in mass surveillance in the Global South far ahead of attempts to ram #ChatControl through the EU legal system.
Done underhandedly through Frontex, the EU handed data-extraction tools capable of retrieving call logs, photos, GPS locations and WhatsApp messages from any phone to West African nations, helping transfer migration data from host countries to the EU.

If you are wondering why Chat Control
is being brought back so relentlessly,
despite a clear and strong opposition from citizens, human rights advocates, and child protection organizations alike,
I recommend you read this enlightening article from 2023 (alas still relevant):

Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid #Trump #immigration crackdown
The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods & stopping at tamale carts, elote stands & candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food & deliver it to #shelters & #families in need.

I hate that I can basically recycle my posts about Chat Control every month or so. These lobbyists are extremely motivated.
Let's show them that we are
even more motivated than them to protect privacy rights, human rights, and democracy! ✊🔒

• Recent news:
"Just before a decisive meeting in Brussels, digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament Dr. Patrick Breyer is sounding the alarm. Using a “deceptive sleight of hand,” a mandatory and expanded Chat Control is being pushed through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan. The legislative package could be greenlit tomorrow in a closed-door EU working group session."

"Pope Leo's comments strengthen the resolve of those of us in the United States who remain deeply committed to welcoming the stranger," said Kerry Alys Robinson, president & CEO of Catholic Charities USA, a national federation of 168 #Catholic #charity agencies.

"There's a deep reflection that needs to be made in terms of what's happening," the pontiff said on Tuesday, when asked about the condition of #immigrants detained at a federal facility in #Broadview, #Illinois, near #Chicago.
"I know how much it means to detainees & their families that #PopeLeo is paying close attention to the suffering of migrants & their families here," Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich told Reuters.

Cupich, who leads an archdiocese including about 2 million #Catholics, said the #Church's teachings about helping #immigrants cannot be disregarded.
"This is not some abstract value that people who say they are #Christian can easily ignore," said the cardinal. "No, this is the kind of moral imperative that is tested in the here and now."

…#PopeLeo, originally from the #Chicago area, …has been steadily increasing his criticisms of #Trump.
…Cardinal Michael Czerny, a close advisor to Leo, said the pope is "expressing the concerns that should be in the heart of every #Christian & of every citizen."
"The Golden Rule, in other words: Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you," said Czerny.

…El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz, who…heads the #migration cmte of the #US #bishops' conference, said the conference is discussing whether to issue a statement about the #Trump admin's treatment of #immigrants during its annual meeting, to be held in Baltimore from Nov 10-13.
"Without question, this issue will be a major, if not the major, topic that we undertake during the bishops' meeting," he said.

#PopeLeo was asked Tuesday about #immigrants at the #Broadview facility who have been refused the opportunity to receive holy Communion, an important #religious obligation. Many immigrants entering the #US come from #LatinAmerica, a predominantly #Catholic region.
He said the detainees' spiritual rights need to be respected & cited scripture indicating Jesus will judge #Christians after death on how they welcomed immigrants.

As Mark Elliott argues the demand for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, is not about human rights, but rather a Trojan Horse for those wanting to radically change the balance between any residual rights peoples may have & the state's ability to act with impunity;
those seeking to exit the ECHR are interested in maximising their ability to act as they want in power!
While not surprising, its a worrying political strategy!
