EU Commissioner and big fan of Orwellian surveillance. Attended Bilderberg/2024
| ||||||||||
Ylva Julia Margareta Johansson is a Swedish politician who was European Commissioner for Home Affairs since 2019. She attended the 2024 Bilderberg meeting.
Surveillance of private chat communication
In May 2022, Johansson proposed an EU "Child Sexual Abuse Regulation" introducing an obligation for companies to monitor all private chat communication, including pictures, for possible hints at child abuse and report any findings to the authorities. The proposed legislation faced widespread criticism and was described as introducing mass surveillance.[1]
The scientific service of the German Bundestag evaluated the proposal and concluded it was illegal due to necessitating blanket surveillance of private communication, the impossibility to differentiate legal and illegal communication and harmful effects on communication by and between children.[2] Johansson defended her proposal to scan all electronic chats as not introducing surveillance, which was - among other claims - described as untrue or at least misleading.[3] Research by several newspapers led to allegations of questionable connections between Johansson and her staff and companies that would benefit financially from her proposal.[4] Johansson rejected the accusations as being untrue, true but not illegal and as not even being accusations.[5] Her claim to have given data protection organizations the same access as to the backers of her proposal was rejected as untrue by several organizations and members of the EU parliament.[6]
