Mass surveillance in the EU

France isn't a safe country for open source privacy projects. They expect backdoors in encryption and for device access too. Secure devices and services are not going to be allowed. We don't feel safe using OVH for even a static website with servers in Canada/US via their Canada/US subsidiaries.
not surprising...

I'd widen it to the whole EU these days...

as you can see it's a power game, the small countries are bending over in exchange of something in future...
I'd avoid these long term...

the law couldn't pass, so they changed it from obligatory to "voluntarily 😉😉"
your ISP could "voluntarily 😉😉" read your chats/PMs 😕


maybe on paper these countries below are slightly better?
but once it's approved EU wide it doesn't matter who's good or bad...

just think how crazy it is... the government will read all of your private chats, this is dictatorship level and nobody is complaining... heck many of them approve it fully no question asked 😳

Here is the legal basis for the mass surveillance program in the EUSSR:

IMG_3660.jpeg

Art 1 of the Reichstag Fire Decree, 28 February 1933:

“It is […] permitted to restrict personal liberty, the right of free expression of opinion including freedom of the press, the freedom of association and assembly, violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications”

The Forschungsamt des Reichsluftfahrtministeriums (FA) implements surveillance as follows:

• Intercept stations are distributed across the Reich’s territory.
• Postal districts and cable junctions all have surveillance points.
• All telegrams sent by anybody are copied and sent to the FA.
• Telephone intercept “A-Stations” are fed by tap lines from post offices into the FA intercept switchboards.

More info on the FA here: Research Office of the Reich Air Ministry - Wikipedia

Sieg Heil!
 
Today's EU Parliament's resolution, backed by 483 votes to 92, with 86 abstentions, called for an EU-wide ban on access for children under 16 to online platforms, video-sharing sites and AI companions without parental consent and an outright ban for those younger than 13.

While I could agree with the final goal in a perfect world, the issue is how do we get there without limiting everyone's privacy?

Clearly one needs an age verification system:
(tech specs here)

(google play services mandatory! so forget about grapheneOs... I guess they need strong play integrity. The irony, they fought google and now require it for official government apps 🤣 )

and the age verification system needs ID, selfie (mask/ai/deepfake proof) etc and you must re-verify every 3 months or more frequently...

also they push for:
a ban on the most harmful addictive practices and default disabling of other addictive features for minors
(including infinite scrolling, auto play, pull-to-refresh, reward loops, harmful gamification);
are they banning the whole internet??

Expressing support for the Commission’s work to develop an EU age verification app and the European digital identity (eID) wallet,
MEPs insist that age assurance systems must be accurate and preserve minors’ privacy.

To incentivise better compliance with the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) and other relevant laws,
MEPs suggest senior managers could be made personally liable in cases of serious and persistent non-compliance, with particular respect to protection of minors and age verification.

And again the EU thinks it’s role is parenting its citizens :punch:
Why don’t they also ban bars, churches, sport clubs etc? Do they have any idea of what can happen in these places?
What about banning cocaine from the toilets of the EU Parliament?
 
Pavel Durov (Telegram and vk) notes that EU officials messages will not be scanned ... 😡
and DHH (ruby on rails inventor) has a story about one of them being caught red-handed! 😵
"A former high-ranking member of the same Social Democrats party that's behind this proposal was just awarded an early parliamentary pension after being convicted of owning thousands of CSA videos and images. Save The Children cover is bullshit"

 
EU just fined Elon Musk / X for 120 millions

do you know what they fined him for? would you believe it????
the blue checkmarks 🤣

After he bought it in 2022, the site started issuing the badges to anyone who wanted to pay $8 per month.
That means X does not meaningfully verify who’s behind the account, “making it difficult for users to judge the authenticity of accounts and content they engage with,” the Commission said in its announcement.
“Deceiving users with blue checkmarks, obscuring information on ads and shutting out researchers have no place online in the EU. The DSA protects users,” Henna Virkkunen, the EU’s executive vice-president for tech sovereignty, security and democracy, said in a prepared statement.
Regulators also said X also puts up “unnecessary barriers” for researchers trying to access public data, which stymies research into systemic risks that European users face.

Elon is on fire... 🔥🔥🔥


how can one disagree?
