<p align="justify">Dear all,<br>
</p>
<p align="justify">The European Commission launched a <a href="http://edri.limequery.org/index.php/346935/lang-en" target="_blank">public
consultation on the role of “Internet platforms”</a>. Its
outcome will become the basis for new EU legislative proposals on
online law enforcement, data protection, privacy, open data and
copyright. These are likely to have an impact internationally, so
this is a chance to shape EU policy! <br>
</p>
<p align="justify">Therefore, in EDRi we have devoted a lot of
efforts to set up an online tool [1] which contains the European
Commission's questions and our "answering guide": <br>
<a href="http://edri.limequery.org/index.php/346935/lang-en" target="_blank">http://edri.limequery.org/index.php/346935/lang-en</a><br>
</p>
The consultation is <a href="https://edri.org/files/Platforms_consultation_EDRi_comments.pdf" target="_blank">biased</a>
in many occasions, which makes it more important to gather as many
responses from a human rights perspective as possible. <br>
Tips:<br>
- You don’t have to answer every question (apart from the mandatory
questions on the first page)<br>
- We have colour-coded the questions (green for general questions;
red for data protection...). So, if data protection is the only
issue that you’re interested in, just click through the guide and
answer the questions tagged as “data protection”.<br>
- The consultation is very long. You have the option to save your
answers and continue later.<br>
- You can respond as an individual or as an organisation<br>
- If you want to submit your response via <a href="http://edri.limequery.org/index.php/346935/lang-en" target="_blank">our tool</a>,
please use it before 24 December, 23:59. You can also respond
directly through the Commission's website until 31 December: <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Platforms/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Platforms/" target="_blank">https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Platforms/</a><br>
<br>
We hope you find this useful.<br>
