EDRi Seeks EU-Wide Spyware Ban
European Digital Rights (EDRi) seeks a spyware ban across the EU with the launch of a new document pool focused on surveillance technologies. The pool compiles EDRi’s research, advocacy, and policy analysis, alongside selected third-party materials, to support a comprehensive ban on spyware. By centralizing resources, EDRi aims to bolster transparency and equip civil society with tools to push back against unchecked digital surveillance.
The repository features in-depth documentation on the legal, technical and ethical impacts of spyware. It also outlines the organization’s legal arguments and policy objectives in confronting surveillance practices deemed harmful to democracy and human rights. With its latest initiative, EDRi continues its broader campaign to challenge the spread of invasive technologies across Europe.
As EDRi seeks a spyware ban, it encourages public engagement and informed dialogue through access to this open-source library.
