Civil Society Urges EU Commission to Close Surveillance Export Loopholes
Original: Civil Society Urges the Commission to Close Loopholes in Surveillance Export Rules
Civil society organisations, including the Center for Democracy and Technology, are calling on the European Commission to close loopholes in the EU's rules on the export of surveillance technologies. They argue current regulations allow invasive spyware and monitoring tools to reach authoritarian governments and human rights abusers. Rights groups want stricter controls and broader coverage of dual-use surveillance items in the export framework.
Why now: Growing concern over European-made spyware being exported to governments that misuse it against dissidents and journalists.
