Wise words from @djleufer. Whatever we see on biometrics/LE, it's going to be disappointing because the Council demanded 'compromise' on things that should never be compromised.

Human rights advocates, academics, EU data protection bodies, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, EU anti-discrimination and national human rights institutions are calling for bans, while EU states come with "but criminals abuse tech, so should we" arguments to #AIAct debates.

Wir haben ein planwirtschaftliches #Klimaschutzgesetz geerbt, das nun marktwirtschaftlicher wird: Ein Sektor, in dem es günstiger und schneller möglich ist, CO2 einzusparen, kann nun einem anderen helfen. Wir setzen so auf Effizienz - ohne unsere Klimaziele zu gefährden. CL

(1/2) Today, the European Parliament could take what might be the strongest steps in the world to put a stop to #BiometricMassSurveillance.
