Verification History

AI Verified Verified. The cited Access Now press release (published June 14, 2023) contains this sentence in a longer quotation, with the omitted text corresponding to “fundamental,” and it immediately attributes the quotation to “Caterina Rodelli, EU Policy Analyst at Access Now.” ([accessnow.org](https://www.accessnow.org/press-release/historic-vote-in-the-european-parliament-dangerous-ai-surveillance-banned-but-not-for-migrant-people-at-the-borders/)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 5d ago
AI Verified Quote by Caterina Rodelli (Access Now EU Policy Analyst): "the lack of bans for AI systems used in migration confirms the EU does not seek to protect [fundamental] rights when migrant people are the rights-holders." Source is the Access Now press release "Historic vote in the European Parliament: dangerous AI surveillance banned, but not for migrant people at the borders." The accessnow.org URL returned HTTP 403 to direct WebFetch, but web search confirmed the quote VERBATIM and the context: it is Access Now's statement reacting to the European Parliament's June 2023 vote adopting its AI Act position (which called for banning mass surveillance but did not extend prohibitions to the migration context). The [...] in the stored quote corresponds to the omitted word "fundamental." Author attribution correct (Rodelli, EU Policy Analyst at Access Now focusing on tech, borders and migrants' rights); year 2023 accurate; quote relevant. Vote alignment: linked statement is "Ban the use of AI for mass surveillance"; Rodelli advocates for such bans (criticizing that the ban failed to cover migration), so the "for" vote is correct. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 10d ago
