🇬🇧 🇪🇺 Today's #EuropeDay is a symbol of unity, peace and freedom in Europe. But these values are only worth as much as we are prepared to fight for them. And that's what we #Pirates have been doing for you in the EU Parliament for almost 10 years! #ChatControl#EHDS#BMS
In his reply, the UK Home Secretary hides behind the legal proceedings – but according to the law, it’s his responsibility to prevent inhumane treatment!
🇬🇧 #Pirates call for cultural protection of video games. In collaboration with the #StopKillingGames initiative I am asking a priority question to EU digital Commissioner Breton.
I want to #vote for a party (and list members) at the #EU#elections that is most effective in influencing EU policies towards #privacy friendliness and #antisurveilance.
#Fractions in the #EUparlament are powerful institutions to gian access to committees and (inside-)information and to influence #EUpolicy.
What fraction are you currently part of/will your successors be part of?
🇩🇪#StopKillingGames: Jetzt kommt auch Rechtsanwalt Solmecke zu dem Schluss, dass ein Spielehersteller ein Spiel zwei Jahre nach einem Kauf zur Verfügung stellen muss und anders lautende AGB unwirksam sind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pu8Pzaa-xo
🇬🇧#StopKillingGames: Lawyer Solmecke now shares my opinion that a game manufacturer must keep a game playable for at least two years after a purchase and that terms and conditions providing for arbitrary discretion are invalid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pu8Pzaa-xo
🇬🇧 On #PressFreedomDay, it's a disgrace for the West that Julian #Assange remains in prison for his unwelcome revelations!
"Intimidating the press is to keep us ignorant" Stella Assange told me. Only #transparency will allow us to control those in power!
🇬🇧 After 5 intensive and successful years in the EU Parliament, my fellow #Pirates@PiratKolaja, @MarketkaG and @vonpecka and I have completed the last Strasbourg session. Now it's time to keep our fingers crossed for @AnjaHirschel to continue my work. #Chatcontrol#EHDS
There are no shortage of eerie tales about Virginia’s Old House Woods. Some claim to have seen ghostly pirates searching for their buried treasure there while others have encountered a group of skeleton knights wearing suits of armor roaming the forest. #FairyTaleTuesday

🇬🇧 The EU bans anonymous hosted crypto wallets and cash payments over €10,000. For #Pirates, it is clear that anyone who tampers with cash is tampering with our financial freedom.
#KurzGesagt:
Die EU verbietet anonyme Barzahlungen über 3000 €, Barzahlungen
über 10 000 € sollen komplett verboten werden. Im Video erklären
wir #Piraten, was dieser EU-Krieg gegen das Bargeld bedeutet.
EU bans anonymous cash payments over € 3000 in business
transactions, cash payments over €10,000 are banned altogether.
Anonymous hosted cryptocurrency wallets will be prohibited, too.
🇬🇧 Today, the European Parliament agreed to create an EU Health Data Space #EHDS against the votes of #Pirates, selling out patient rights. This means:
Healthcare providers can access our health records without our consent
No right to opt-out of cross-border access to our health records
Big Pharma, Big Tech and government institutions will have access to our identifiable (pseudonomised) health records without our consent, even to DNA, psychotherapy, sexual disorders etc.
We don‘t even have a right to object to such access under national schemes
🇬🇧 We call for #transparency in the EU Commission's #DigitalServicesAct enforcement actions against internet platforms - do they respect fundamental rights and freedom of speech or do they encourage censorship and #uploadfilters? Let's guard the guards! #Pirates
🇬🇧 #Pirates victory: After our open MEP letter criticising #Meta’s ‘pay or okay’ scheme the EU Data Protection Board is also speaking out against its legality. A big step towards overcoming Meta’s surveillance-capitalist business model and establishing surveillance-free ads!
Apparently Black Sails is on #Netflix now from Starz. I highly recommend it as a complex drama with lots of politics and backstabbing all with pirates! Really great acting and lots of fun twists.
🇩🇪 Frankreich fordert Alterskontrolle durch soziale Netzwerke, letztlich um Jugendliche unter 15 auszuschließen. Das verstößt gegen den #DigitalServicesAct, aber EU-Kommission greift nicht durch...
🇬🇧 France imposes age verification on social networks to exclude users under 15. This violates the #DigitalServicesAct, but the EU Commission is not firm.
#Pirates oppose this kind of digital house arrest!
European Parliament yesterday supported extending the indiscriminate #Chatcontrol 1.0 searching of ALL private messages sent via US big tech platforms.
🇬🇧 #EHDS: Lead Committees nod off the deal on creating a European Health Data Space, selling out patient rights. This means:
Healthcare providers can access our health records without our consent
No right to opt-out of cross-border access to our health records
Big Pharma, Big Tech and government institutions will have access to our identifiable (pseudonomised) health records without our consent, even to DNA, psychotherapy, sexual disorders etc.
We don‘t even have a right to object to such access under national schemes
🇩🇪Heute vor 10 Jahren hat ein EuGH-Grundsatzurteil die EU-Richtlinie zur wahllosen #Vorratsdatenspeicherung aller unserer Verbindungen, Bewegungen und auch IP-Adressen als Verletzung unseres Grundrechts auf Privatsphäre gekippt - grandios!
