📉 The EU is rolling back landmark laws in the name of “simplification.” Yet when it comes to policing & migration, rules are multiplying: surveillance, deportation regimes, repression of protests. This panel connects the dots between deregulation in digital policy & overregulation in policing, exposing a coordinated authoritarian shift. @Corporate Europe Observatory 📡 Don’t miss the discussion at #PrivacyCamp25:

This discussion at #PrivacyCamp25 explores how Europe could reframe sovereignty into true digital self-determination. @Amber Sinha @Paris Marx, @Alexandra Geese @SUPERRR Lab, @Open Future Foundation 🎥:

Alaa Abdel Fattah is finally free. His release is the result of tireless efforts by his family, human rights defenders, and countless allies across our community. It’s a powerful reminder that persistence matters, and that digital rights are human rights, inseparable from the broader struggle for freedom and dignity. Alaa once told us: “You Have Not Yet Been Defeated.” Today, we celebrate those words and carry them with us into the struggles still ahead.
