Analýza: Pod praporem boje s dětskou pornografií prosazuje Evropská komise nařízení, kterým by se značně omezilo soukromí na internetu. Nyní k tomu používá i metody, které jiným sama zakazuje.
With the EP\'s mandate coming to an end in 2024, many crucial digital policy files are currently in their finishing stages. Many of them have an impact on our democracies. …\n
#YlvaJohansson's department specifically targeted people in member states that had been critical of her proposal but excluded people who are likely to value #privacy.
The European Commission wants to turn digital communication apps, such as WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, TikTok and X, into mass surveillance tools so that digital communications of all EU citizens, including their live conversations, photos and vide…
Today, two open letters from academics on the scientific arguments against the current #CSS (client side scanning) initiatives have been released:
* The first (in English, internationally coordinated) one is online at tinyurl.com/CSAScientistsLette… and still open for additional signatures.
* The second (in German, by #Austrian academics) one is online at ins.jku.at/chatcontrol/ and explicitly includes law experts in addition to the arguments from a security, privacy, and AI perspective.
This debate is expected to gain new steam with #Spain taking over the EU council presidency, given recently leaked statements like "Ideally, in our view, it would be desirable to legislatively prevent EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption" (wired.co.uk/article/europe-bre…).
Please boost on any channels you deem adequate. The discussion is still open, and we have little time to bring it to a more rational level.
In response to an EU proposal to scan private messages for illegal material, the country's officials said it is “imperative that we have access to the data.”
#Chatcontrol must be stopped! The draft law is facing huge opposition. We applaud 👏 300 scientists for urging EU policymakers so stop chat control. Let's fight for our right to #privacy! 💪🔒
End-to-End encryption is one of the good things we have with the current internet and app ecosystems. But it is under constant threat -- be it from EU's #chatcontrol, UK's "online safety bill" or the current renewed "EARN IT" effort in the US: eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/earn… .... anyone of these efforts succeeding would be a dangerous dam break. Let's collectively make sure all these governmental anti-privacy efforts fail!
In a free society, people should not have their private correspondence constantly examined. U.S. lawmakers, we would hope, understand that individuals have the right to a private conversation without the government looking over their shoulder.
#ChatControl #OnlineSafetyBill #EarnIt - Lots of politicians want to undermine encryption once again. When will they ever learn that a "backdoor for the good guys only" is simply not possible?
Politiker wollen wieder einmal die Verschlüsselung untergraben. Wann werden sie jemals lernen, dass eine "Hintertür nur für die Guten" einfach nicht möglich ist?
#Chatcontrol - one of the worst EU plans that is also being described as a surveillance monster - must be stopped! The draft law is facing huge opposition across Europe. Now, an analysis by the EU Parliament's Scientific Service comes to the conclusion that the law will even be counterproductive.
On March 23 I was invited to participate in a panel discussion at the European Internet Services Providers Association (EuroISPA). The focus of this discussion was on recent legislative proposals, …
The EU Commission wants to introduce #chatcontrol to monitor every chat & email message. But recently opposition is getting louder against client-side scanning: tutanota.com/blog/posts/eu-cli…
I'm really, really worried about the future of Matrix (and digital communications in general) in Europe because of the #ChatControl directive. What is the use of being end-to-end encrypted if there is an obligation to add a backdoor for the European authorities.
🇬🇧🚨🤥 In order to blackmail lawmakers into agreeing to the totalitarian #ChatControl #CSAM scanner, EU Home Affairs Commissioner @YlvaJohansson at a conference just openly lied in the face of ministers.
Having a private conversation is a basic human right. Like the rest of our rights, we shouldn’t lose it when we go online. But a new proposal by the European Union could throw our privacy rights out the window.
The End of the Privacy of Digital Correspondence
The EU wants to oblige providers to search all private chats, messages, and emails automatically for suspicious content - generally and indiscriminately.
Learning about #ChatControl at #fnf2022 was reminded of the story last month of a man whose google ac was shut down after he'd sent a medical photo of his son's groin to their doctor & an AI had flagged it as CSAM. Even after learning of its mistake Google refused to lift the ban theguardian.com/technology/202….
#ChatControl is draft EU legislation with laudable goal of ending the sharing of CSAM – but has so many negative consequences & risks. You can feedback on it til 12 Sept ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r…
Must-read from @iverna1@twitter.com: The EU 👁#ChatControl #CSAM #MassSurveillance proposal "would actually make everyone in the EU, including children, less safe", "break #encryption" and "open the door for authoritarian governments around the world". politico.eu/article/europe-onl… (1/2)
