Argentina: Amnesty International denounces increased technological surveillance
The non-governmental organization Amnesty International recently published a concerning report on the situation in Argentina. According to the NGO, the government of President Javier Milei is implementing a mass technological surveillance system without any democratic oversight to limit its powers.
The report highlights the growing use of sophisticated digital tools to monitor citizens. These technologies, often presented as a means of strengthening public security, are in reality allegedly used to collect personal data on a large scale, thereby threatening the right to privacy of Argentines.
Amnesty International experts are particularly concerned about the lack of legal safeguards. In the absence of strict laws to regulate these practices, the authorities have total freedom to use these tools against political opponents or activists, which undermines fundamental freedoms in the country.
This situation is drawing international reactions, as many countries are currently debating the balance between digital security and respect for human rights. The international community remains attentive to the evolution of Argentine legislation in the face of these new technological control practices.
