According to the recent CCDCOE Cyber Events Report, over the last year, off-the-shelf spyware has made its way onto the communication devices of journalists, political leaders activists and it has also been a topic in the news. Even though the pace at which it has evolved on the desks of regulators has been slower, both the EU and US are tightening export controls to curb the misuse and propagation of spyware. The revelations and developments of 2021 once again show that spyware is a concern for cybersecurity as much as it is for privacy.

According to Christal Schaldemose (Denmark), leader of the Parliament's negotiating team, “Today’s vote shows MEPs and EU citizens want an ambitious digital regulation fit for the future. Much has changed in the 20 years since we adopted the e-commerce directive. Online platforms have become increasingly important in our daily life, bringing new opportunities, but also new risks. It is our duty to make sure that what is illegal offline is illegal online. We need to ensure that we put in place digital rules to the benefit of consumers and citizens. Now we can enter into negotiations with the Council, and I believe we will be able to deliver on these issues.”
