Donald Trump is about to get a terrifying gift from the European
Union: direct access to our biometric data and, possibly, our
DNA.
EU officials are quietly negotiating a deal that would let US
agencies search through European databases. This isn't just about
fingerprints. A leaked Commission document reveals the scope is
chilling: the data that could be transferred includes our
ethnicity, political opinions, religious beliefs, and even our
genetic information.
This is a toolkit for racial profiling and surveillance on a
terrifying scale.
And it’s happening as Trump’s new “National Security Strategy”
openly attacks Europe as “weak” and “decaying,” frames diversity as
a threat, and signals support for far-right political forces across
the continent. The EU can’t possibly be serious about handing over
the personal data and information of nearly half a billion people to
a foreign power — especially the Trump administration.
We can stop this, but we have to move fast. If we create
enough public outcry right now, we can empower MEPs to scrap this
deal before it’s signed.
Sign the petition to demand EU leaders protect our
data and say NO to Trump’s digital surveillance.
Imagine Trump’s administration having your genetic information or
your political leanings just so they can decide if they want to let
you board a plane or not. It’s a massive breach of trust and a
direct threat to our most fundamental rights.
Even the EU's own data protection supervisor, Wojciech
Wiewiórowski, is sounding the alarm. He warns that this agreement
would create a “major precedent”: for the first time, the EU
would transfer large volumes of personal data to the border
authorities of another country.
The EU claims this is necessary for "security" and
visa-free travel. But true security doesn't come from surrendering
our most intimate secrets to a foreign power that views our human
rights values as a threat.
We’ve beaten mass surveillance before — when thousands of us
pushed regulators to block Big Tech from harvesting people’s data to
train AI in Brazil. Together, we can do it again.
Add your name: Don't hand our DNA to
Trump.
