.oO( some things never change )

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.

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.

@mojala @Saramo

I wish Finnish politicians -- and especially MEPs and MEP candidates -- took more visible approach to opposing this in general, I'm so bloody tired of writing emails all around to make sure anyone I vote in any relevant elections is in strong opposition to this BS.

Five years of what feels like fighting windmills. Europol has to be the institution I have grown to distrust more than any other European institution, and that includes Orban's government.

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.

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

Can the EU explain to me how is this going to help law enforcement, exactly? Because if Im a terrorist and I am planing an attack, I can easily send a message without anyone noticing by simply sending a seemingly inoffensive message using specific keywords that only the people I'd be working with knows. And I dont need E2EE for this. Not to mention, PGP, LUKS, etc, are a thing. I can simply sign a text file or something with PGP, or create a loop file as a device and make a LUKS container on it, and share the file.

So I ask again, what good is this thing going to do?

@mojala

@Saramo

No, the plan is to create backdoors that only law-enforcement can use! Criminals will still be stoped! /sarcasm

Fascism is knocking again. Let's keep the fucking door shut.
Ironic little detail: the link gives me a 403 when accessing through tor.
