1/8 Yesterday, @edri
member @LaQuadrature
pled at the @EUCourtPress
against the French system that puts the internet under #MassSurveillance to fight against the sharing of copyrighted content. The #CJUEHadopi case is important for several #DigitalRights debates at the EU level.

It may be hard for policymakers to imagine but yes there are people who care about politics & volunteer their spare time to come to Brussels & talk to them.

Many of them are part of the @edri community & have been working on #DigitalRights since long before #BigTech has been around.

As interesting as Georg Riekeles' recount of #BigTech lobbying in Brussels is, it's very sad to see him paddle the myth of "well-organised citizens' groups" & #DigitalRights orgs allegedly orchestrated by #Google in the context of the EU #Copyright Directive.
