<p>Hi all, <br>
<br>
i'm supporting Pirate Party (in Italy) for EU Election, that
share a common European pirate party program (the same program
in 9 EU states), with a clear and explicit commitment against
massive surveillance and in favor of privacy.</p>
<p>I would love to see NGOs that are pro-privacy and against
surveillance to support that point of the program of EU Pirate
Parties publicly, calling for all digital rights activism
communities across Europe to support that trough their own
communities. <br>
</p>
<p>The full program is available at:<br>

<br>
</p>
<p>See the National Pirate Parties part of European Pirate Party <a
href="https://european-pirateparty.eu/members/">https://european-pirateparty.eu/members/</a>
.</p>
<p>It would be valuable for the participants of the list that are
in EU countries and that share those ethical values and
principles to get in touch with their national Pirate Party to
advocate those point of EU political programs.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Europeans have a
proud history of fighting for their fundamental rights and the
freedoms of their fellow citizens.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">To preserve our
rights and freedoms, and to ensure the effectiveness of law
enforcement, Pirates demand that data collection and
monitoring is limited to people who are suspected of
committing or preparing a crime and requires judicial approval
and oversight.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Adequate
protection against crime is an important responsibility of the
state. We must ensure this responsibility is fulfilled through
an intelligent, rational and evidence-based security policy.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Pirates wish to
abolish the practice of routine, automated and untargeted data
collection, storage and matching. We reject the blanket and
indiscriminate collection of communications data (data
retention), traveling data (PNR) and biometric data. Pirates
oppose the automated profiling of people to divide them into
risk categories (“profiling”) at borders (entry/exit system).</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Public spaces are
full of cameras that monitor the movement of people and
vehicles, track faces, and combine this information without
considering the potential for the erosion of privacy. Evidence
demonstrates that the presence of such systems has little
effect on the rate of crime and that, at best, crime simply
shifts to other spaces. Pirates support and would prioritize
the movement of police personnel from monitoring duties, to
patrolling the streets. Pirates are against individuals being
required to identify themselves if they are not suspected of
committing a crime, especially when they are exercising their
rights to protest or assemble.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Pirates oppose the
exchange of personal data with countries that lack effective
protection of fundamental rights except in emergencies.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Pirates want to
stop the erosion of civil rights, that has taken on dramatic

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Pirates support
well-reflected measures to keep us safe but intend to abolish
harmful interferences in our fundamental rights. We,
therefore, want the European Fundamental Rights Agency to
systematically examine all current and future surveillance
powers and programmes as to their effectiveness, cost, adverse
side effects, alternatives and compatibility with our
fundamental rights.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Pirates advocate a
moratorium on any further interference with our human rights
by the security agencies of the EU in the name of internal
security until the systematic review of existing powers by the
FRA is complete.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Pirates support
the funding of research through the EU, however, the frequent
involvement of government agencies in surveillance and
filtering operations like INDECT and CleanIT demonstrates a
clear intention to use such technologies in a way which makes
them publicly funded tools for dismantling civil rights. We,
therefore, argue that the EU must not fund technologies that
limit fundamental rights.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The proposed
e-Privacy regulation will update privacy rules for

trade, advertising or market or opinion research must be
allowed only with the active and informed consent of the
person concerned.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Additional
Internet privacy legislation is needed to ensure that
information society services can be used and paid for
anonymously, and do not indiscriminately record our online
activities. We intend to replace the surveillance economy with
an anonymous micropayment economy.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The right to use
encryption shall be guaranteed. Support for end-to-end
encryption shall be made compulsory for manufacturers of
telecommunications equipment. Transport encryption shall be
made compulsory for telecommunications operators, especially
operators of international cables. National and inter-EU
communications shall no longer be routed via third countries
to prevent foreign intelligence agencies from intercepting
them.</p>

not support the proliferation, by means of export credit or

of journalists, activists and citizens around the world, by
supporting legislation that prevents oppressive regimes from
acquiring such technology and services from any entity in the
European Union.</p>
