On 29 March 2026, the Dutch cabinet (led by PM Rob Jetten) approved a bill allowing police to monitor public social media, collect names and messages of demonstrators - even if they’ve committed no offence. Reason: better control of protests.
Justice Minister David van Weel calls it "21st-century policing". The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights strongly criticise the proposal for lacking clear boundaries, risking mass tracking, discrimination, and threats to privacy, free speech, and the right to protest.
Now heading to Parliament. A dangerous precedent for Europe.
I want to bring this to your attention @bitsoffreedom

Burgers zonder verdenking online in de gaten houden? Hard nodig, vindt dit kabinet

De ministerraad is akkoord met een wetsvoorstel om de politie ‘naar de 21ste eeuw’ te brengen. Maar experts schrikken van de nieuwe mogelijkheden in die wet.
