US finds first EU partner to target Antifa groups
Original: Datentausch und Strafverfolgung: # Trump findet ersten # EU -Partner zur Jagd auf # Antifa -Gruppen - netzpolitik.org ht
The US administration under Donald Trump has secured its first European Union partner for exchanging data and pursuing prosecutions against Antifa groups, according to netzpolitik.org. The report raises the question of whether Germany will also join the cooperation. Critics are likely to scrutinise the cross-border surveillance and criminal enforcement of political movements, and how far European governments are willing to align with Washington's crackdown.
Why now: The revelation of transatlantic law-enforcement cooperation against a political movement touches on data privacy, civil liberties and EU-US relations, prompting debate.
