CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Council of European IT experts urge EU Parliament to stick to its recent decision and to reject a re-vote of #ChatControl.

Untargeted mass surveillance of private messages is unreliable, ineffective & violates fundamental rights.

EU Parliament must save privacy!

CEPIS Calls on EU Institutions to Uphold Parliament’s Decision and Reject Mass Surveillance in the Chat Control Regulation - CEPIS

CEPIS urges Members of the European Parliament to firmly defend the Parliament’s recent democratic decision to end untargeted mass scanning of private digital communications. CEPIS reiterates its strong opposition to the indiscriminate surveillance measures.

Our democracy, sovereignty and unity must never depend on external agendas."
