In fresh days There were voices. informing of possible changes in digital control. The actions of the alleged advanced Level Group (HLG) set up by the European Commission are peculiarly dangerous. It has made recommendations that can change the way we see privacy in the digital age.
Eurocommunists plan to monitor mobile devices in real time. Paweł Usądek, a Confederate MP, alerted on platform X about the activities of the advanced Level Group, set up by the European Commission. According to him, 1 of the key points of these recommendations is the introduction of systems for monitoring communication in real time. We are talking about reading messages – both by email and sent through instant messaging – even before sending them.
“Eurocrats want it to be possible to read messages not only after they have reached the recipient but besides before sending them. (...) The advanced Level Group calls on the EU to make legal solutions to read specified messages next year" – wrote Sit.
HLG traditionally argues its actions with the request to improve public security. In his postulates, he points out that real-time monitoring of data can replace more invasive and risky activities, specified as installing cameras or microphones in in-house surveillance.
Critics, including Paweł Usądek, stress that the proposed changes represent an unprecedented threat to citizens' privacy. utilizing artificial intelligence algorithms to analyse data from mobile devices and computers raises doubts about possible abuses.
The EU will monitor mobile phones and laptops from 2025?
Orwell never dreamed of specified solutions!

Already in May this year, the first calls were made for the introduction of a technology to let the viewing of data transmitted in the net transit. As Usądek pointed out, this is another step towards limiting civilian liberties. "The European Union becomes an even bigger Leviathan each year, entering all surviving space with our shoes. The EU's interior strategy is totalitarian and the only difference between the current structure of the EU and the full dictatorship is respective control mechanisms, specified as the veto law that we want to take away." – he wrote.
The HLG recommendations are only at the consultation stage, but they are already causing major controversy. Supporters of specified solutions point to their possible benefits in the fight against crime and in ensuring public security. Opponents in turn inform against the erosion of fundamental human rights, including the right to privacy. The next fewer months may be crucial. If the proposals are converted into concrete legislative proposals, we can anticipate broad public debate and protests from civilian organisations.
