The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has warned about privacy and security risks associated with 6G technology, which is designed to function not only as a data transmission system but also as an active environmental sensing ("Sensing") mechanism. This capability would allow 6G networks to scan and map surroundings, potentially exposing sensitive information. No specific technical details, dates, or quantified impacts were provided in the notice. The concerns focus on the broader implications of environment-sensing features for user privacy and security.
