Summary
Regulation 2024/982 implements Prüm II, allowing the automated exchange of facial images, including those of unconvicted suspects, among police forces across Europe via a central router. EDRi has criticized this regulation for being adopted without substantial national debate, raising concerns about privacy and civil liberties.
Key Takeaways
- Regulation 2024/982 establishes a pan-European biometric identification system that allows facial images of suspects, including those never convicted, to be exchanged among police forces in Europe.
- By December 2026, every EU member state must implement a European digital identity wallet (EUDI Wallet) that will be accepted by banks and large platforms, raising concerns about cross-use tracking and state control.
- The High-Level Group on "access to data" proposes "lawful access by design," mandating that products include built-in police access and user identification, which has been criticized as a framework for mass surveillance.
- Vietnam's Decree 147 requires social media platforms to verify user identities, effectively limiting public speech to those with verified accounts.
