Military security service fails to brief the people it spied on
Dutch NewsThe watchdog which supervises the Dutch spy services said on Tuesday that the military security service MIVD is failing to notify people who were spied on even though it is required by law. Governments that decide to use intrusive surveillance software, “cannot exercise their responsibility in a way that undermines the effectiveness of EU law” on data protection and privacy, said the draft communication, seen by Politico. @vonderleyen should simply implement the recommendations adopted by @Europarl_EN @AntoanetaRoussi 1/3 https://t.co/RhSTVykHoZ — Sophie in ‘t Veld July 23, 2024 The draft communication proposes several “minimum safeguards and conditions” that should be implemented “irrespective of the purpose of the surveillance,” including ensuring a court or independent body has authorised it. “Arguably one of the most important rights of individuals is the right to be notified that they were subject to the use of intrusive surveillance software once the threat that triggered its use passed,” the report is quoted as saying.
