#PrivacyCamp26: Call for sessions
Privacy Camp hosts its 14th edition on 13 October 2026, in Brussels and online. For people living in Europe and across the globe, the impact technology has on our lives becomes ever more acute, ever more heavy and impossible to deny. Digital technologies shape how people work, organise, communicate, access services, cross borders, learn, create and resist. They can support community power and collective care. They can also deepen surveillance, extraction, discrimination, militarisation and environmental harm.

What’s behind the EU’s digitalisation push? Surveillance, control and exclusion
The EU institutions have been engaged in a broad and wholesale digitalisation project but underneath the rhetoric of efficiency, modernisation, and citizen empowerment lies a more troubling reality. It is not a mere technical upgrade of public services, but a political choice, long in the making, to forego care and rights of individuals in favour of normalising surveillance, control and exclusion of the most marginalised. This blog explores the various facets of the EU’s digital welfare state push, and what it means for the relationship between people and the state.

Ireland investigates Meta for breaching the DSA – a year on from our complaint
The Irish Digital Services Coordinator Coimisiún na Meán (CnaM) has announced a formal investigation last week into whether Meta breaches the DSA’s obligation to offer users access to alternative news feeds without profiling – a promising step towards tackling toxic platform design. The investigation comes after Bits of Freedom, EDRi, GFF and Convocation Research + Design filed a complaint about the issue. At the same time, Meta’s abuses have already gone on for too long. We need a fast resolution from the CnaM in order to protect the digital rights of people across Europe and to show that the EU stands ready to enforce its platform laws.

Youth organisations demand social media change, not bans
The protection of young people from online harms remains high on the political agenda, but the debate continue to focus on age gates and social media bans. In response, 31 youth organisations and youth activists – the intended recipients of these ‘protective’ measures – have joined forces to speak up against their own exclusion.
