AI Verified The quote explicitly says there is 'no room for mass surveillance in our society' and references banning a related surveillance practice. That clearly implies support for banning governments from using AI for mass surveillance of citizens, which is a subset of mass surveillance. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 2h ago

AI Verified The quote clearly rejects mass surveillance as a whole: 'there is no room for mass surveillance in our society.' That implies support for banning AI when it is used for mass surveillance, even though AI is not named explicitly in that sentence. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 2h ago

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. In the official EUR-Lex transcript of the 4 October 2021 European Parliament debate, the speech attributed to “Ylva Johansson, Member of the Commission” contains the exact passage "there is no room for mass surveillance in our society. Our proposal bans mass social scoring" and then continues with additional text, so the user’s [...] is a faithful omission. The Parliament page for the cited debate also surfaces the same wording under Johansson’s speech.
