Border surveillance tech endangers people’s lives and promotes violence. This is why we are calling on the @Europarl_EN to #ProtectNotSurveil People on the move in the #AIAct Check the @accessnow’s video featuring real-life testimonies, and help us spread the word! More info🧵
Did you know? EU authorities are deploying dangerous surveillance tech at and within their borders that is fuelling violence + reinforcing systemic oppression. As the #AIAct reaches its final stage in the @Europarl_EN, we have a message: #ProtectNotSurveil people on the move. 🗣️

The EU’s proposed Europol Reform hands sweeping new powers to a police agency already criticised for rights violations. Mass data collection. Biometric tracking. Racialised surveillance. MEPs must #VoteNo on 5 Nov. @Europarl_EN @EU_Commission @eu2025dk @EP_Justice

The world in which the #AIAct was written is gone: what it really means to govern AI in the era of military tech? Read our takes 👇🏼
Today marks one year since the #AIAct became officially an EU law. As authorities prepare for its full application, we break down what’s at stake and how to protect our rights when governments use surveillance tech - especially in migration & law enforcement. Learn more ⬇️

Next week the @EP_Justice will vote on the new Europol Regulation. If passed, the new regulation will push for the surveillance of human rights defenders and migrants and encourage practices such as the use of spyware, following the example of Italian authorities.
Surveillance doesn’t stop smuggling — it just puts people at risk. As the European Parliament LIBE votes on the Europol reform report on May 20, MEPs must say NO to the expansion of Europol’s surveillance powers! Read our #ProtectNotSurveil paper: https://t.co/160K0FZ9UO

Non sono neutrali. Usiamo le parole corrette: pulizia etnica, deportazione. Dovremmo essere i cani da guardia del potere, siamo diventati i loro cagnolini di compagnia e non stiamo fomentando queste politiche genocidarie. (2/2)

It is crucial the AI Office will use its upcoming guidelines on AI definition & prohibitions to fix the AI Act shortcomings - especially the derogation regime that was established for migration and police authorities. Read civil society recommendations 👇🏼
The EU Commission AI Office must ensure the upcoming guidelines on AI definition and prohibited systems in the AI Act provide fundamental rights-based enforcement. Read our demands alongside the AI civil society and the #ProtectNotSurveil coalitions: https://t.co/5vY4XYrK5o

Important judgement since it recognises pushbacks as a *systematic* practice in #Evros - which civil society organisations, researchers and activists have been saying for years. Congratulations to all involved in the case - and @zubeyirkoculu, the first to break the news here.

Civil society has been working for years to denounce the use of AI in Europe to oppress people in all forms (fraud detection used to disintegrate families, predictive policing against kids) The @EP_HumanRights delusional stance is beyond baffling - and a dangerous step back
Started listening to the @EP_HumanRights presentation on ‘Artificial intelligence (AI) and human rights: Using AI as a weapon of repression and its impact on human rights’. Three case studies focus on China, Russia, Iran. Why take a good look in the mirror instead? #AIAct🙃

Hello @vonderleyen my simplest question is: do black African migrant women have rights? If so where do we find justice for Fati Dosso and her 6 year old daughter that your Tunisian allies murdered last year? Every day dozens are killed with in Libya and Tunisia thanks to your💰
Today – and every day – we stand with the victims. Women like Giulia Cecchettin, Debora Mihailova and Gisèle Pélicot deserve shelter and support. They deserve justice to be served. They deserve to be heard. Let us break the silence. Let us end the #ViolenceAgainstWomen

Ricomincia questo scempio: ben 8 (OTTO) persone migranti deportate in Albania in quei Centri inutili, costosi e disumani.
Nave #Libra della @ItalianNavy ha lasciato il Mediterraneo Centrale direzione Albania. A bordo ha 8 migranti (erano 9 ma un bangladese troppo vecchio e malato per finire a Gjader) Intanto solo a #Lampedusa nei giorni in cui c'era la Libra, sono approdati circa 1200 #migranti

Listen to Israeli terrorists celebrate as they detonate an entire village in Lebanon.
Mhaibib was once one of the smallest and most ancient villages in south Lebanon. One of the monuments that Israeli occupation forces detonated as it dynamited the village is the shrine of Prophet Benjamin, son of Jacob, a site that is more than 2,100 years old.

Today the first Italian military ship arrives in Albania, setting a new stage of EU deportation policies - the natural continuation of decades of securitisation. Elsewhere in the Mediterranean, I'd looked at how Greek detention centres shape the blueprint for mass surveillance.
New migrant detention centres on the Greek island of Samos are setting the standard for mass surveillance across the EU. The EU must prioritise human rights before using any technology in migration contexts. Read more for insights: https://t.co/Rh6aJCfQst

Is research always neutral? In this blog I argue that it is not. Read Part 2 of our series - it takes place in the Greek Evros region where the EU is funding testing programs for surveillance tech which lend lend a veneer of scientific objectivity to migration policies. ⬇️
EU-funded research projects are legitimising violent migration policies. The EU must stop using public funds to test surveillance technologies + be transparent about how these are being used. Read for insights on the happenings in Greece’s Evros region: https://t.co/8VN1GpOpN9

In this blog series, @CaterinaRodelli from @accessnow, after her mission in #Greece, documents the deployment of surveillance technologies at Europe’s borders and how, all too often, digitalising borders dehumanises the people trying to cross them. 👇 https://t.co/jhztCURZky

Today we launch a 3-part blog series on Greece, border surveillance tech & how the EU codifies violence into law. We start in Thessaloniki to look at how the digitalisation of asylum procedures is key for the dehumanisation of migrant people in the EU 👇🏼 https://t.co/VhZ79E9GlZ
Endless people are suffering at the hands of border surveillance technology. Journey with us as we begin, "Digital Surveillance at Europe’s Edges: a Greek case study" highlighting the realities of migrants + asylum seekers. Read part one:⬇️ https://t.co/t1tXViZ87T
