Can anybody point to organized lobbying efforts we can support to maintain all of this as far away as possible from Europe ? My country has refused to give the answers citing security reasons (according to the article).



In the Netherlands we have Bits of Freedom, they are mentioned in the article:

> Thanks to Bits of Freedom, those answers are now public. That's called transparency.

Another Dutch one I know is Privacy First. When elections come up we always have a vote advice website which is quite popular. You enter your opinion on some current topics (old example: joint strike fighter funding: continue or not?) and it computes which party's goals align the most. Privacy First had an interesting take on this: they looked at what parties pushed for in the past and matched that with what you would have wanted (focusing on privacy-related topics of course). Not looking at promises but at track record. Privacy First probably does other stuff as well, just like BoF, but I don't keep up.

I don't know about other countries unfortunately.


The UK has the Open Rights Group and Privacy International.
