EU ministers have agreed to launch negotiations on an agreement that would grant US border agencies direct access to personal data stored in EU member state databases, and give EU agencies similar access to US data. The US is demanding access to the databases of all states that are part of its Visa Waiver Programme, for “immigration screening and vetting activities.” This is part of a broader plan to massively increase the amount of sensitive data gathered on travellers.

A few days ago the US plans to collect biometric and DNA data of visitors/tourists was published. I wrote that the EU will surely soon plan to do the same. I f***ing told you man… It sucks to be always right ☹️
oh yeah that’s totally a very good idea and surely nothing could go wrong with that
This means EU will have indirect access to DNA data, right?
I mean, the US forces EU tourists to give their DNA if they want to enter the country. At the same time US wants to open databases to EU aswell.
With the Trump regime this should be a firm NO.
Is there anyone we can contact to voice our opposition to this?
You can look up the contact information for your representative in the European Parliament; they’re friendlier than you might think, even if they later ignore your opinion.
they want palintir to access it, so they can give it to EU and some countries to track Political dissidents.
This is insane
The US is demanding access to the databases of all states
I can only imagine that this is super illegal under the DSA.
