馃挭馃従 It's here! We've put together an answering guide to help you navigate the tricky and misleading questionnaire by the European Comission for the public consultation on #DataRetention.

This proposal can legalise #MassSurveillance and threaten our #privacy and #FundamentalRights - speak up against this agenda!

鈿狅笍 The deadline for the consultation is September 12.

Read through the answering guide 猡碉笍 https://edri.org/our-work/public-consultation-on-retention-of-data-by-service-providers-for-criminal-proceedings-answering-guide-for-civil-society-organisations-and-individuals/

@edri Seems like EU Commission made logging in to the consultation site harder than before?

At least I don't remember this weird hoop from June: after entering your email, there's a separate screen with a password field. Under the password field is a popup full of what looks like 2FA methods with weird names. If you just try to continue after entering your password, you get an error that the selected authentication method has not been enabled on your account.

To actually log in with a password, you have to explicitly select "Password" from the popup. The default for me was something that sounded like FIDO2 in bureaucratese.
