Summary (AI generated)

Archived original version »

The page is a curated archive of recent EDRi resources focused on surveillance and data retention. It lists a variety of entries—blog posts, document pools, campaigns, and coalition statements—dated between September and December 2025. Key topics include:

  • Transparency breaches in the European Commission’s migrant‑smuggling legislation and the EU’s “Digital Omnibus” reforms that weaken GDPR, ePrivacy and AI‑Act safeguards.

  • National‑level battles such as Danes je nov dan’s successful campaign against a Slovene spyware proposal and calls for stricter AI‑Act enforcement in Hungary.

  • Mass‑surveillance initiatives like the EU’s proposed CSA Regulation (“Chat Control”), which would mandate encryption‑breaking and undermine anonymity, and a consultation on expanding Europol’s mandate.

  • Facial‑recognition controversies, exemplified by the Czech police’s forced shutdown of airport cameras after AI‑Act scrutiny, and ongoing biometric violations.

  • Frontex expansion concerns, raised by the ProtectNotSurveil coalition, and broader critiques of EU digital‑trade deals (e.g., with Singapore) that erode privacy safeguards.

  • Educational resources, such as the CSA Regulation document pool and SHARE Foundation’s book on spyware.

Each entry provides a brief description and a “Read more” link to the full content. The collection highlights EDRi’s ongoing monitoring of EU‑level policy shifts, national legislative proposals, and civil‑society responses aimed at protecting digital rights against indiscriminate or overly broad surveillance.
