2/4 @edri is concerned with the latest Council #CSAR proposal because it:

🔸allows #DetectionOrders to be issued very broadly
🔸bases suggestion for repeated flagging reporting on statistical misunderstandings
🔸encourages age verification & turn-off of encryption by default

in reply to EDRi

3/4🔴Another red flag in the new #CSAR proposal:

Proposed reliance on the EU Commission for risk criteria decisions DESPITE
➡️Serious allegations of non-impartiality around the Commissioner in charge of CSAR
➡️DG HOME’s alleged undue closeness with the surveillance tech industry

4/4 EDRi's blog on Belgium’s latest move on #CSAR is dedicated to our esteemed colleague Professor Ross Anderson, a bold and important voice in our collective work on the EU’s CSA Regulation and a part of EDRi since our inception in 2002. He will be deeply missed.
