People have no idea how bad its getting in Budapest. The vain dictator @magyarpeterMP posts selfies while he celebrates undermining civil liberties and destroys the country’s economy. Anne Applebaum supported this. She blocked me after becoming an authoritarian lunatic. https://t.co/gxqLRMZIoH #Budapest #CivilLiberties #Authoritarianism #HU
If personal data crosses borders, legal protections must too.

“A slow accumulation of permissions that governments grant themselves while the public is distracted.” - Well put. The architecture of population surveillance is being put in place, piece by piece, and it is *always*, supposedly, for our “protection.” It is not too late to fight #SurveillanceState #PrivacyRights #CivilLiberties #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Hong Kong's government has proposed new legislation that would allow the city's leader to determine which criminal acts are considered national security offences, a move criticized as a further erosion of freedoms and an enhancement of executive power without adequate checks, following the imposition of national security laws after the 2019 democracy protests. #NationalSecurity #HongKong #CivilLiberties

The EU must not behave like the governments in Minsk, Moscow, or Beijing. Firmly anchored civil liberties are one of the main things that distinguish Europe from others. We must resolutely reject all attempts to destroy a free internet while there is still time. (translated)

Let's appreciate what we have because freedom is the fruit of a healthy and mature culture, as well as a complex social structure based on good will. It is easy to spoil it, and much harder to... (Original: Polska przy wielu państwach zachodnich jest ciągle wspaniałą oazą wolności i swobód obywatelskich.

Łatwo ją zepsuć, a dużo trudniej) #Freedom #CivilLiberties #Appreciation #PL
