CPJ today prompted the European Parliament to safeguard press freedom and human rights in a proposed regulation known as the ‘e-evidence’ proposal, co-signing a letter with European Digital Rights and other digital and media organizations.
CPJ has expressed concern about the lack of safeguards in the proposed Regulation on European Production and Preservation Orders, which could allow prosecutors to access data held by internet service providers in another EU member state without judicial oversight in the target country.
The letter urges parliamentarians to require oversight based on national legal frameworks to prevent abuse. It is available in full here.
