While Frontext boasts about how many people it "helped to return", @EU_EDPS@twitter.com warns against privacy violations "emerging from the stormy waters of the Aegean Sea, the cold forests of Białowieża, or the fences of Melilla."
Bravo @W_Wiewiorowski@twitter.com for telling it like it is!

The EU AI Act and other regulations it inspired are based on the assumption that there is a technical fix to every AI-related risk. But it's not true. There needs to be a mechanism for concluding an impact assessment with: actually, this system should not be in use.
RT @enablingNGOlaw@twitter.com
"The struggle to create technical standards points to an uneasy fact—the essential requirements may simply be unmeetable for more complex #AI systems... a sign that such systems should not be in use"

„we become increasingly aware of the unresolved challenges (…) I don’t mean those behind the veil of ‘Big Tech’,but rather those emerging from the stormy waters of the Aegean Sea, the cold forests of Białowieża, or the fences of Melilla.” - so important @EU_EDPS@twitter.com recognizes this! https://twitter.com/EURACTIV/status/1618866905065967617

That language of “helping to return” is an abhorrent newspeak when 60% of the people were forcibly deported.
RT @Frontex@twitter.com
In 2022, the agency helped to return a record number of people who were staying illegally in the EU.
Out of the 24 850 people Frontex helped to return last year, 40% returned voluntarily

176 Albanian immigrant children have gone missing in the UK, kidnapped from Home Office hotels. I haven’t seen a single party make a statement. The same people that will beg you to ‘think about the children’ when sending armies to save the world. The same hypocrisy.

“A broad exemption from the applicability of the AI Act for uses of AI for national security purposes is an attempt of governments to escape scrutiny and accountability in one of the most controversial and politicised uses of AI,” says @enablingNGOlaw@twitter.com's @ka_iwanska@twitter.com.

“The Greek authorities have agreed to with meet us, but we have to recognise that the information we got was meaningless. Meaningless, because they all hide behind the argument of national security. We have no rock-solid proof because the authorities refuse to give us any.”
