The EU initiative Going Dark has now been launched by the EU Commission. They call it ProtectEU.

It’s a rebranding of Chat Control. New name. Same old propaganda.

The EU Commission’s goal is to “access encrypted data in a lawful manner, safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.”

oof. Maybe they should think about how to fill the INT gaps regarding Russia left by US Trumpism before sourcing private citizens' data.

... well it's dated Apr 1rst which still won't prevent AT least wasteful spending offen taxpayers money.
in reply to Mullvad VPN

They just really want the Stasi regime back again, don't they?
in reply to Mullvad VPN

You cannot access encrypted data in a lawful manner. You simply can't.
in reply to Mullvad VPN

Cementing my theory the EU commission is not actually sensible on tech, they just hate tech in any situation and are accidentally right sometimes because of how bad most tech companies are.
in reply to Mullvad VPN

how many times will they keep pushing this crap before people have enough and tell them to stop? We know full well that you can’t have secure encryption that only allows ‘lawful’ access, and that any attempts to weaken existing systems will just make things worse.

Sorry, at least you guys understand what’s up and fight for privacy and online rights.

Not just #ChatControl.

Can't wait for #Orban, and consequently #Putin, to get hold of this:

»This will enable secure #automated exchanges of #fingerprints, #DNA profiles, #vehicle registration data, #facial images, and police #records through EU routers. At national level, Member States need to implement the Information Exchange Directive enhancing information exchange channels for seamless cross-border information flow, while ensuring their integration with Union-level systems, such as SIENA«

> The terrorist threat level in Europe continues to loom. … They target their radicalisation and recruitment efforts specifically towards the most vulnerable sections of our societies and in particular certain young people.

So how about we care about most vulnerable sections of our societies for a change?!

Fucking hypocrites.

horrible choice. I hope this will fail. Ursula is truly useless and dumb.

I'd like to see initiative called "splinter EU and scatter it into the winds"
in reply to Mullvad VPN

The EU needs to learn from us here in the USA.

The answer to people acting like our GOP is *not* to start acting like our Democrats.

@EUCommission Seems important you understand this point. Neoliberal fascist-adjacent policy just gives the fascists better tools to kill you with later.

So how do we force our "representatives" to pass a law that makes these kinds of initiatives illegal? If not, they'll just keep trying, becoming sneakier and sneakier until it's the kind of covert drivel we laugh at the US for doing.

Quincy reshared this.

yet another threat to our freedom... From the EU, which thinks to be on the good part of the story
in reply to Mullvad VPN

and this is why people need to speak their mind to brussels instead of just ignoring it and just letting those politicians do whatever they want
in reply to Mullvad VPN

it sure seems unlawful to try to push the same exact thing through after getting a "no" several times over, innit?
in reply to Mullvad VPN

there we have it:

"present a Technology Roadmap on encryption to identify and assess technological solutions to enable lawful access to data by law enforcement authorities in 2026"

In other words no more end to end encryption.

‘The EU Commission’s goal is to “access encrypted data in a lawful manner, safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.”’

@EUCommission
You can’t have both.
Pick one.
Choose carefully.

in reply to Mullvad VPN

end to end encryption is end to end encryption.

There's no lawful way to access this without legalizing either breaking encryption (which always fucks up) or backdooring people's end devices (which always fucks up).

I get the desire but there's just no way to do this without fucking things up. You really need to let go of this @EUCommission

in reply to Mullvad VPN

another unrealistic scheme by people with no fundamental understanding of the technologies they seek to control.
in reply to Mullvad VPN

So basically the eurocrats have moved from think of the children excuses to national security excuses. If the government can break the law during an emergency than it will create an emergency to break the law.
in reply to Mullvad VPN

lawful... #hungary, #slovakia … not the kind of regimes I see using this in a lawful manner

Fascism is knocking again. Let's keep the fucking door shut.

These idiots should be confronted on what is the exact purpose of these laws. If criminals know that chats are being monitored, they are not going to use them. Well, there will be a few fools who will get caught, but overall that won't make any difference.
Make them admit that they want Stasi style mass surveillance.
