Someone is either selling pirated copies of my book, or they're trying to scam people using my name and book. They even uploaded it under the name "River Hopkins" instead of "River J. Hopkins."
Can y'all please report the seller? This is the link. They're selling it for $14.99, and there's absolutely no way they have new copies for that price.
🇬🇧 Expert opinion on the extinction of computer games: #Pirates urge clear EU rules against arbitrary game shutdowns. Europe must recognise the cultural importance of games and protect their communities. #StopKillingGames@accursedfarms
🇬🇧 🇪🇺 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
🇬🇧 #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.
🇬🇧 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
🇬🇧 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.
🇬🇧 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.
European Parliament yesterday supported extending the indiscriminate #Chatcontrol 1.0 searching of ALL private messages sent via US big tech platforms.
🇬🇧 #Pirates on EU media freedom law #EMFA: We welcome the protection for journalists, but criticise the lack of a ban on using spyware on journalists, as well as possible censorship of foreign media. Criticism must not be silenced!
Des millions d'appareils #Android , #Linux et #ChromeOS sont vulnérables aux nouvelles attaques #WiFi ! Les #pirates peuvent voler des données ou vous espionner.
Aucun correctif pour l'instant, il est conseillé deconfigurer manuellement les certificats CA pour la protection.
🇬🇧 EU Parliament and the Council have just agreed to extend the voluntary #ChatControl 1.0 bulk searches of our private messages by US services like Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Xbox until (at least) 2026! The mass leak of annually 1.5 mio. private chats to US moderators and Europol is to continue. We #Pirates are suing in court!
🇬🇧 #AIAct: European Parliament committees today rubber-stamped an instruction manual for rolling out permanent #biometricmasssurveillance in public spaces by means of real-time #facesurveillance. Chilling behavioral monitoring and unscientific AI video lie detectors are not off limits, either.
Defending our democracy against being turned into a high-tech surveillance state is not negotiable for us #Pirates!
🇬🇧 Transparency is not a crime, but an obligation. It's part of our DNA as #pirates. That's why we support #FreeAssangeNow - also today together with others in the EU Parliament.
