Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am more than concerned about your plan to search all messages, emails and chats on all EU citizens’ devices for criminal content and I hereby strongly protest against this form of mass surveillance, which, to my knowledge, has never been seen before in the European Union.
There is no doubt whatsoever that crimes of all kinds must be uncovered and punished. The fact that for this purpose the private communications of all citizens are to be searched without any reason and without suspicion with faulty artificial intelligence and by non-state corporations is completely unacceptable to me.
Crimes must be investigated and solved with methods based on the rule of law. Mass surveillance of the entire population, as known from autocratic states, is a completely wrong way. Criminals will easily find and use alternative communication channels, so that the measure you are planning will fall exclusively on the non-criminal citizen.
I therefore urge you to abandon this project.
With kind regards, …
Most organisations that getting flooded with emails ditch it, or it automatically gets flagged as spam.
Perfect means that there are no loopholes in the eMails that can accidentally wrongly interpreted. Usually attorneys should write that because they are better with words as well as how to write things out in a manner that allows no room for some kind of misinterpretation.
Most appropriate way is to write one single email on a professional level, sign the document from people who support it and not spam them with nonsense copy and paste emails.
At least 40 organizations wrote “perfect” letters. I think it’s important that people write, as well, as these people will have to take the brunt of this shit. But, okay, go ahead! Don’t let me stop you!
Again mass email usually getting ignored, one is enough. More is not better in this case, you do the opposite.
It is important to know that you change nothing if your email will be ignored, which is the first they will do.
