DORS/CLUC 2025 - A vision for software freedom in 2048, Matthias Kirschner
DORS/CLUC 2025 - A vision for software freedom in 2048
Keynote by Matthias Kirschner, President of FSFE.
Our litigation against Apple in front of the European Court of Justice, fighting for sustainable long term funding in the EU and member states, “Public Money? Public Code!”, Device Neutrality, Router Freedom, Free Your Android, assistance with licensing questions, Youth Hacking 4 Freedom, and a tale of software, skateboards, and raspberry ice cream. These are some of the activities by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), which has been working since 2001 to empower users to control technology.
Recently we discussed how the world would look like in our area in 2048, if the FSFE has been successful. In this talk I would like to share those thoughts with you and during the conference get your feedback on the next decades of our work for software freedom.

in reply to Patrick Breyer • • •🇪🇺The EU Commission seriously claims: "There is no such thing as #ChatControl.”
Their fantasy: A magic, 100% perfect algorithm that only finds CSAM.
The reality: To find anything, you must scan everything.
Stop the mass surveillance lie! #StopScanningMe

Leur fantasme : Un algorithme magique, 100 % parfait, qui ne trouve que les contenus CSAM.
Stop au mensonge de la surveillance de masse ! #StopScanningMe

in reply to Patrick Breyer • • •You can't find things in a house without searching the whole house. Doesn't matter what you're looking for, you'll need to search the whole house.
It doesn't matter what kind of content you want to detect, you'll have to search through literally everything somebody has to find it. If you mark any spot as "will not be searched" you can be 100% sure that that'll be where they hide it, whether it needs to be called "personal finances" or "home videos" or "system32" or whatever.

in reply to Patrick Breyer • • •It's impossible to search for something without scanning the device's storage or all content that is being uploaded.
Of course in fantasy books or sci-fi this may be possible, but not in real world.

in reply to Patrick Breyer • • •lol the @EUCommission doesn't even know the implications of their own proposal. How else except with a general monitoring of online communication would you ever implement and comply with their shitty proposal?

in reply to Patrick Breyer • • •what rubbish are they stating in that message 👀
"Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched for and can be detected"
Since private messages between people are not "clearly child sexual abuse", does that mean nothing will be scanned? In that case, why are the EU politicians so scared about that law being applied to themselves?

in reply to Patrick Breyer • • •"Detection orders can only be issued by judicial or independent administrative authorities […]" zum Glück gibt es ja niemals irgendwelche Regierungen, die einen allgemein (oder bei einzelnen anderen Sachen) überwachen wollen und solche Orders für andere Inhalte issuen würden!
Glauben die ernsthaft, dass wir nur dagegen sind, weil wir es nicht verstehen und es nochmal zu erklären würde irgendwas ändern?..

in reply to Patrick Breyer • • •Es ist nicht so, dass »Client Side Scanning« von (behördlich bekannten) Inhalten ohne False Positives prinzipiell nicht möglich wäre. Das ist sogar ziemlich trivial.
Was aber nicht geht ist, das glaubwürdig auf CSAM zu beschränken. Wie soll man das überhaupt unabhängig überprüfen können, ohne mit dem entsprechenden Material zu hantieren? Da bekommen Behörden ein mächtiges Zensurinstrument in die Hände, das sich aber perfiderweise praktisch jeder Kontrolle entzieht.
Und die Annahme, dass Leute bereitwillig Code ausführen, der nur dazu dient, sie zu belasten, ist ohnehin naiv.
