In order to prevent authoritarian regimes from spying on their own citizens, an extension of EU export controls on cyber-surveillance tools, such as devices to intercept mobile phones, hack into computers, circumvent passwords or identify internet users, possibly used for human rights violations, is up for a vote on Wednesday. MEPs will set the Parliament’s negotiating mandate and want to strengthen the protection of human rights and create a “future-proof” system that can rapidly deal with new technologies.
