Under European and international law, they have an obligation to oppose the CSA Regulation until it protects our rights, freedoms and security. The current Council text which is the subject of October’s vote could not be further away from that threshold.

Sign the petition of the Stop Scanning Me campaign and join thousands of people opposing the attack on our secure communication. As soon as our petition reaches a critical threshold, we will deliver it to decision lawmakers as we did in the past.
