How is this not a violation of GDPR?! “Homeland Security” doesn’t need the data, this is thousands of people for under 5 possible threats at most… this is fucking stupid! The game of bribery and backdoor deals of monetizing data keeps spreading, huh?
Government is excluded from meeting GDPR requirements. ☺️
Uh? It’s a bit less generic than that… some activities of governments are excluded from the scope but not all data processing from government agencies are.
For example this particular personal data processing likely fits under the prevention of criminal offences and threats to public security and is highly unfortunate but let’s keep shit factual.
The only thing that makes the EU bureaucracy seem like it’s functional are competing national interests. When all nations are being targeted by foreign automated propaganda through their social networks to promote shifts in their governments to allow this sort of bull, it doesn’t even matter that the US is directly issuing threats against the EU, only just what corrupt long time career politicians can get out of it.
It’s not just foreign. Internal capitalists also wish to destabilize nation states. There’s a popular fad among the global bourgeois to believe that humanity should be sliced into corporate fiefdoms with zero state control. There’s another popular bourgeois fad which is to believe that humanity’s population must be brought radically lower to reduce the risk to themselves from large numbers of people angry at being dispossessed by climate change and AI.
These two fads combined are personified in people like Trump, Musk, Bezos, Thiel, Zuckerberg, etc, and they are extremely dangerous to our species.
Because our governments treat fascists in good faith, foreign or domestic.
… Why?!?
Why would you do such a ridiculously stupid thing?
Because their politicians are playing their people, it’s the same across the west, the oligarchy controls all main parties, and the far right sponsored by malign foreign influence, ahem, is the only one running as reform, dooming us all to them winning eventually, and putting a fix in.
But that’s another story. They are surrendering us to tech, and to fascism, because they aren’t on our side. We are collectively too stupid to realize it. Because they think they will benefit, and we have nothing but nihilists in charge.
Because even EU politicians are afraid of the people
If they were they wouldn’t be doing this, this sounds like it will anger many EU citizens
My guess is easier visas? Although some already have ESTA/visa exemptions
Its crazy that this is the only sane option mentioned in this thread. Like its not a reasonable justification because the insane low trust situatuin we are in and no attempts to mitigate risks being heavily advertised first.
The Rothschilds are largely French. The EU is also entagled in the surveillance state the Epstein class is building
Bro, are not the rothschilds not the main drivers at this point in time? Why would you mention them in particular? Are they even in the Epstein files that we know about? I imagine they aren’t because they are likely tight with Israel and Epstein was an Israeli honeypot op.
Pieces of shit I don’t doubt, but are they the driving force here? Like did you just pick up an early 20th century history book and run with that?
Oh yes, they’re in there a lot. Like a lot a lot. Like Epstein introduced himself as their money manager. One of those few emails that can only really be interpreted as hunting humans for sport was to or from a Rothschild I forget which. Might have been a spouse and it was both sides.
You’ve some reading to do. Did you see the Ghislaine Maxwell invite to be on the 9/11 shadow commission? Yes, Seriously.
I will check it out thanks, that great game thing rings a bell actually I forgot about their mention in that.
Ugh… Time and time again we are shown that US corporate shareholder needs dictate massive invasion of privacy and global over reach. Well this won’t stand in Europe! Let’s see what the EU says about this… Oh. Oh wait 😲.
What the fuck
Just vassal states things.
Act tough on press, but gargle US balls behind doors.
Come on French, where’s the riots in the streets? Do you really want the USA deciding which memes will get you put into the memes camps?
One calls it a “meme camp”, others call it a “concentration camp”. Choose wisely!
Europeans who recently have been criticizing US citizens for how they voted: “Et tu de baddie?”
Why? What could the EU gain by giving personal data of its citizens to a country that illegally eavesdrops on them?
Not sure if your serious or joking about what you know but countries have laws about spying on their own people but not as much non citizens and foreign locations. They don’t have laws about not sharing information about their citizens from a foreign government. So these kind of things allow them to bypass their internal privacy laws.
What in the actual fuck?!
Strange with how hostile the US has been lately. Is this a gift to the facists?
which they probably already have. Look at that list, and that’s only France ☞ https://bonjourlafuite.eu.org/
WTF?! I wouldn’t trust the US to look after my lunch currently, let alone personal biometric data. You know this will wind up in Palantir’s grubby hands, with declared intentions to use it for evil. This absolutely should NOT happen.
Fuck! God!! No!!! Please!!! 😡
This is why my android sticks with PINs or Patterns. Never biometrics.
This is also why you give your biometrics to governments, they already have it
Fucking hell I hope someone sues the shit out of the EU for this
