The Mass Surveillance Legislation Governments are adopting, during the COVID19 Pandemic, while no one is paying attention to what they are doing. Europe and US are attacking Civil and Human Rights, placing everyone under illegal surveillance in 2021-2022.
Background
EU Commission has introduced ChatControl legislation in 2020, to combat child abuse online by paedophile communities. The legislation was pushed through the different levels in rush, without proper consultation with the citizens. It was approved by the European Parliament on the 6th July 2021.
Many countries have issued “Emergency rules”, under Covid19 pandemic, blocking citizens access to free judicial processes, that normally would allow the people to contest such legislation, in national courts. Demanding government accountability, implementing regulations and legislation, that are directly violating fundamental human rights. Legislation like the Chat Control.
Israel’s wave of Spyware start-ups in 2018 – The call for proposals
The German connection (German-Israeli Cooperation in Research on Civil Security and IT Security Call for Proposals for Joint R&D Projects Deadline for Submission: November 30, 2018)
AnyVision is specialist on “Camera”, Veego in “ISP” addresses, NSO on “Mobile phones” and Toka in “all devices”.
Financed by European, US based investors. Having governments as their main clients, to combat terrorism and curiously also addressing the ‘Child abuse’ in online platforms. The most recent scandal with Pegasus spyware, targeting journalists, human rights activists is just one of the many, not yet discovered scandals. NSO, Toka, AnyVision and Veego, are all addressing specific areas on devices.
How these are linked to an EU Chat Control legislation, is basically legalizing use of “Spyware”, worldwide, targeting everyone, using “Combatting Child abuse online” as a pretext. Endangering the privacy of the whole populations, not only the child predators. Some of these entities are listing already “Europe” as their clients, with the European investors and partners, exchange of knowledge and already developed tools are certainly taking place.
