The EU is planning to strike a deal with the US that would let the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies search European databases to identify people posing “a threat to US security,” according to a proposal published by the European Commission at the end of July.
Collaborator scum.
Literal treason. When are we going to learn that we live in capitalist dictatorships and our governments are not like us?
I see it more like a defensive thing for Europeans in the States. An effort to assure safety from being wrongly accused or detained. It gives these people clear legal grounds if/when US immigration does it’s thing. It is hard to get away with their bullshit when they are provided a channel of transparency. They would have to willfully ignore something that is so blatant. If they do, their mallace is even more exposed.
Should it have ever come to this? Of course not. But stations like that were passed long ago and the train isn’t stopping.
Fuck that if America needs they just put a warning. If people want to travel it is their fault.
This together with German politicians wanting to have a list of all transgender people that change their name is really cool! Awesome! I love it!
Wouldn’t you already have that for when anyone changes their name?
You can’t really change your name in germany just like that. The only other reason to do so that I know of is getting married and then it’s just the last name.

So you believe in the sincerity of US intelligence agencies, that even if they have access to everybody’s police record they’re gonna limit the surveiling to the ones with a plane ticket already bought? History tells a very different story.
Whatever the possibly good, but probably bad, intentions there are to this decision, it’s still courting disaster.
Let’s say your neighbor beats half of their kids and all of their kids’ friends. And this neighbor is not shy about it; in fact, they publicly brag about this. And let’s say that they tell you that your kids should come over to play some video games, but that you need to introduce your kids to them first, so that they don’t accidentally beat your kids.
You know what you do in that situation? You don’t let your kids visit the fucking child-abuse house!
Don’t let your government share your data with us. We’re definitely going to abuse your data, and we’re still gonna arrest you when you visit. We’re holding a burning fuse in our closed fist—don’t get closer to see if we’re gonna blow our hand off. Run away as fast as you can before you get our mess on yourself.
What, the, fuck. What’s happening with european leaders, they keep giving everything to america.
