EU Urged to Tighten Surveillance Export Controls
Original: European Union: Tighten Surveillance Export Controls
Human Rights Watch is calling on the European Union to tighten its controls on the export of surveillance technology. The rights group argues that current rules allow spyware and monitoring tools to reach governments that may use them against activists, journalists and dissidents. The appeal puts pressure on EU policymakers as they review how the trade in intrusive digital tools is regulated across member states.
Why now: A major human rights organisation has publicly pushed the EU to reform its surveillance export rules, drawing attention to spyware abuse.
