   Looks like @edri has hit a nerve: Commissioner #YlvaJohasson has responded on #Twitter claiming that #microtargeting people in carefully selected member states based on prohibited categories of personal data was "standard normal practice". 🤷♂️

     I mean seriously, the Commissioner is supposed to listen to the people, not manipulate them to support her policies.

     Plus, to me this sounds very much like a breach of Article 26(3) DSA by #Twitter.

     Question is: Will the Commission investigate and penalise a breach of #DSA by a #VLOP when it is exposing its own political scandal?

     The #CSAM clusterfuck just became even more shitty:

     Dutch researcher Danny Mekić has looked at #advertising data from #Twitter & says that the @EU_Commission's #DGHome has used #SurveillanceAds based on prohibited data categories to target people with #disinformation about the #ChatControl proposal.

     #YlvaJohansson's department specifically targeted people in member states that had been critical of her proposal but excluded people who are likely to value #privacy.

     @ilumium How fitting: the @EU_Commission uses SurveilanceAds to promote its planned surveillance tool. This makes it even clearer what the real purpose of ChatControl is – and that the official arguments are nothing but "wrapping it to make it look nice". Despicable.

     Ylva should have her chats controlled – and then step down. I don't see how else the commission can be salvaged; this shows the commission as it is now cannot be trusted.
