Unchecked Surveillance: The Hypocrisy of Constitutional Protection

Published on May 29, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The constitutional protection agency is demanding more surveillance power, infiltrating devices and using facial recognition without oversight. This contradicts its original purpose of not being a secret police force. Sacrificing citizen privacy in the name of security erodes fundamental rights. The solution is to maintain the division of functions and subject any expansion to judicial and democratic control.

Digital infiltration: technology as a double-edged sword 🔍

Facial recognition and the ability to infiltrate mobile devices represent technical advances that, without controls, become tools of mass surveillance. These techniques, based on artificial intelligence algorithms and remote data access, allow citizens to be tracked without a court order. The lack of clear legal limits turns constitutional protection into a domestic espionage system that violates data protection and civil liberties.

The agency that wanted to be a surveillance Santa Claus 🎅

It turns out the agency, created not to be a secret police force, now dreams of having more eyes than an octopus with spyglasses. They want to know if your microwave is conspiring against the state while you order pizza. But fear not: if they ask for permission, it will surely be a judge with sunglasses and a trust algorithm. Meanwhile, citizens keep waiting for our privacy to be returned, even if it comes with a receipt.
