This December, we’ll be back on stage at Europe’s most influential grassroots conference on technology, society, and digital rights, organised by the Chaos Computer Club! (@ccc)

This year, we will speak about spyware litigation in the EU — and the legal and ethical challenges of leaving powerful hacking tools in the hands of law enforcement. We’ll explore the risks of evidence tampering, the absence of effective remedies, and the systemic blind spots that allow abuse to thrive.

Attending the panel, From digital sovereignty to self-determination, @alexandrageese "We need to look at the infrastructure layer”.

Exactly, the issue with work on the DSA is that we focus on fixing platforms that have a toxic business model anyway.

The majority of French, Germans and Italians support strengthening European tech sovereignty and incentivising the funding of tech from the EU, according to EU standards.

A momentum we look to seize!

This year's CPDP came to an end. A pleasure to share the stage with @SophieintVeld & @z_edian Sven Herpig on cybersecurity and spyware.

In this panel @Data Rights presented the German Constitutional court's finding that the state has a duty to prevent catastrophic risks like the ones of 0-days, & work we are doing w/ digital rights orgs of countries investigated by the PEGA committee to join forces on litigation against spyware. The PEGA coalition will publicly launch soon!
