CPJ and partners urge EU to tighten surveillance tech export controls

Original: CPJ, partners call on EU to better control surveillance technology exports

The Committee to Protect Journalists, together with partner organisations, has called on the European Union to strengthen controls over exports of surveillance technology. The groups argue that spyware and monitoring tools sold abroad can be used against journalists and civil society, and they want the EU to apply stricter oversight to prevent such misuse by foreign governments.

Why now: Ongoing concern over European-made spyware being used to target journalists abroad is driving advocacy pressure on the EU.
