Danke an @fragdenstaat und @AskTheEU, über die wir unsere IFG-Anfragen gestellt haben um die bisher unveröffentlichte Stellungnahme der Ampelregierung zu bekommen - und damit den Bruch des Koalitionsvertrags nachweisen konnten.

By obliging people to use its online access portal, @Frontex has made the process more cumbersome for citizens and caused unnecessary problems for civil society organisations managing online transparency platforms.

We regret @Frontex’s continued refusal to simplify its #accesstodocuments process by allowing people to communicate with it by email. We confirm our earlier finding of maladministration.

The Decision concerns a seemingly banal issue: Frontex’s refusal to communicate with applicants via email; forcing them to use its “unnecessarily complex” online portal despite. Crucially, the portal does not sync with websites run by #transparency NGOs like @AskTheEU

EU Commissioner @YlvaJohansson claimed that AI is capable of detecting unknown depictions of sexualized violence against children with over 90% accuracy & 99% precision. My #FOIA request reveals that her statement is based on industry claims: asktheeu.org/en/request/tech… #chatcontrol
