John,
Donald Trump is about to get a terrifying gift from the European Union: direct access to our biometric data and, possibly, our DNA.
EU officials are quietly negotiating a deal that would let US agencies search through European databases. This isn't just about fingerprints. A leaked Commission document reveals the scope is chilling: the data that could be transferred includes our ethnicity, political opinions, religious beliefs, and even our genetic information.
This is a toolkit for racial profiling and surveillance on a terrifying scale.
And it’s happening as Trump’s new “National Security Strategy” openly attacks Europe as “weak” and “decaying,” frames diversity as a threat, and signals support for far-right political forces across the continent. The EU can’t possibly be serious about handing over the personal data and information of nearly half a billion people to a foreign power — especially the Trump administration.
We can stop this, but we have to move fast. If we create enough public outcry right now, we can empower MEPs to scrap this deal before it’s signed.
Sign the petition to demand EU leaders protect our data and say NO to Trump’s digital surveillance.
Imagine Trump’s administration having your genetic information or your political leanings just so they can decide if they want to let you board a plane or not. It’s a massive breach of trust and a direct threat to our most fundamental rights.
Even the EU's own data protection supervisor, Wojciech Wiewiórowski, is sounding the alarm. He warns that this agreement would create a “major precedent”: for the first time, the EU would transfer large volumes of personal data to the border authorities of another country.
The EU claims this is necessary for "security" and visa-free travel. But true security doesn't come from surrendering our most intimate secrets to a foreign power that views our human rights values as a threat.
We’ve beaten mass surveillance before — when thousands of us pushed regulators to block Big Tech from harvesting people’s data to train AI in Brazil. Together, we can do it again.
Add your name: Don't hand our DNA to Trump.
