> Dear Manila Principles supporters,
>
> EFF has just published a blog post expressing our concerns with the
> incompatibility of the current drafts of the EU General Data Protection
> Regulation (GDPR) with the Manila Principles:

>
> https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/11/unintended-consequences-european-style-how-new-eu-data-protection-regulation-will
>
> In summary, our view is that the provisions which require restriction
> and erasure of personal information supplied to Internet platforms by
> third parties, would place too much responsibility on intermediaries
> with too little due process, and that they fail to adequately consider
> the freedom of expression interests of content providers.  This could
> lead to "DMCA-like" censorship of information, using personal data
> protection as a pretext.
>
> The above post links to a short paper commenting from EFF and ARTICLE 19
> that we are circulating to policymakers.  If you organisation shares our
> concerns and would also like to endorse that paper, please let either of
> us know and we will add your name to the paper when it is circulated.
> As time is short, we would ask that you provide your endorsement within
> 72 hours if possible, or if not, let us know how much time you will need.
>
> Thanks.
