They gonna try again... Don't celebrate. They will like slip in during the next 911 bullshit circle jerk, when normies are most likely to sell their own child for "security" like boomers did
Yep, perfectly acceptable to be happy now, but do not let your guard down. The USA has done the same shit with trying to end civilian access to true encryption how many times?
That’s the current status quo. New legislation can always override old legislation. The only way to fully prevent these proposals would be to enshrine the right to encryption in a new EU treaty (which requires unanimity) and since the national governments are the ones pushing for this while the European Parliament keeps telling to fuck off, it’s not going to happen.
I kind of followed Ylva Johansson on this issue and more. I am 100 % sure that what she was saying and what she belived is completely different. She is smart. She was also completely destroyed when confronted with IT security people. She is really in the pocket. Anyryone with some opsec knowledge knows it is nothing about child porn, there are millions of ways to distribute that shit either way
Do see this if you got a Swedish vpn connection , sorry could not find it elsewhere svtplay.se/…/eu-kommissionaren-ylva-johansson?id=…Nikka system also completely destroyed her arguments , cant find it right now
One of the proposals was to not touch the e2e, but rather scan whatever you upload before it gets encrypted. You should be able to opt out, but in that case be unable to upload any files.
A counter argument to this specific proposal was that it would exclude people from social interactions.
Honestly that was a headline that I expected to see. It is a small victory but how long before it gets reintroduced? They will continue to push until everyone has moved on and it passes unnoticed. Or they might do what the US does and put it into a “must pass” infrastructure bill that gets voted on at 3am to avoid the press
It was postponed yesterday. My post is from earlier before it was announced that it was postponed. And the article I posted was from that day I posted it.
What you’re probably referring to was the earlier attempt to get this through. This was years ago actually. They refined the bill and tried again this year. This is what this is.
