Rights groups push EU for tighter surveillance tech export controls
Original: Surveillance technology exports face heightened scrutiny as rights groups urge EU for tighter controls
Civil rights organisations are calling on the European Union to introduce stricter controls on exports of surveillance technology, arguing that such tools are increasingly used by governments abroad to monitor and repress citizens. The campaign has drawn attention to gaps in the EU's current export rules, which critics say allow intrusive spyware and monitoring equipment to reach regimes with poor human rights records.
Why now: Rights groups have launched a renewed push for EU regulation of surveillance technology exports, drawing fresh public and political attention.
