EFF has been opposed to this proposal since it was unveiled last year. We joined together with and urged people to sign the 'Don't Scan Me' petition . We lobbied EU lawmakers and urged them to protect their constituents' human right to have a private conversation-backed up by strong encryption.

Despite several Member States still supporting widespread surveillance of citizens, there are promising signs that such a measure won't get majority support in the Council.
