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.” Read the full release from the Commission here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A52025PC0148

    @mullvadnet@mastodon.online "assess technological solutions that would enable law enforcement authorities to access encrypted data in a lawful manner" If it's encrypted they can't access it, if they can access it, it's not encrypted. That's the f***ing definition of (e2e) encryption EU trying to make sure water is not wet..

    @mullvadnet@mastodon.online 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.

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« https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A52025PC0148

    @mullvadnet@mastodon.online 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@ec.social-network.europa.eu Seems important you understand this point. Neoliberal fascist-adjacent policy just gives the fascists better tools to kill you with later.

    @mullvadnet@mastodon.online 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.
