Global privacy debate reignites as surveillance expands
-

From Europe to the U.S., digital privacy is once again in the spotlight.
The EU recently backed away from its controversial Chat Control bill, while Meta confirmed it’s training new AI models using European user data — though private messages remain off-limits.
Experts say this wave of surveillance anxiety is fueling demand for “programmable privacy” — systems that protect user data by default but remain auditable.
“Privacy isn’t just for people with something to hide,” said Psy Protocol CEO Carter Feldman. “It’s a fundamental part of usability and trust in the digital age.”
