Summary
EU lawmakers are simultaneously tightening and expanding digital surveillance measures. The European Parliament’s LIBE committee approved a new Deportation Regulation that will broaden data collection and movement restrictions across the bloc, while the same Parliament cut eight months from the Commission’s proposed extension of the controversial "Chat Control" regime, reaffirming limits on private‑communication scanning and preserving end‑to‑end encryption. EDRi has lodged a complaint under the Digital Services Act against YouTube’s profiling‑based recommender system, and a Dutch court ruled in favor of Bits of Freedom, blocking Meta from imposing algorithmic timelines on users.
