The EU’s HLG (High Level Group) now considers VPNs among “key challenges” to investigative work.
End-to-end encryption is also mentioned in the final report as the biggest technical challenge
Experts are calling for restraint and consideration on the measures, fearing civilians will carry “state spyware in their pockets”
1984 speedrun
But North Korea…bad!
loooool
Fuck this. Why does everyone elect wannabe dictators?
“You are dodging our authoritarian laws and we don’t like it”
Why this HGL members are not in jail, actually? They are trying to overthrown EU.
Soo we’re gearing up for WWIII and you guys want to make it so we’re the one continent where encryption doesn’t exist and everything is mandated to have backdoors in it. How do you see this working out, exactly?
Jesus Christ, why are those morons driving our society backwards?
> Commenting on the ongoing push for encryption backdoors, Proton CEO Andy Yen recently said, “Encryption is math – it either adds up or it doesn’t. You’re not able to create a backdoor that will preserve encryption. It is simply not possible.”
Well said.
I hear not having cameras mounted in everyone’s living rooms and citizens refusing to have houses built entirely out of glass and insisting on having curtains is also a “key challenge” to state security.
Pesky citizens expecting to have private lives!
Most of this lawmakers don’t even know how internet works and use their phones for not more than watch IG and TikTok’s.
What they pretend to achieve with that?
I can bet my annual salary that this will make hackers even an easier work as instead of hack individuals they only will have to hack a couple of institutions of people that are out of touch with technology. As I cybersecurity engineer I saw it many times and this will not be an exception, it will be the gold rush for state-agents
Just so people understand the context: this HLG represents the police experts of the 27 Member States. They will obviously say stupid shit like this.
There are other HLGs, for example for Cybersecurity, who disagree with this completely.
This is all part of democratic policy-making, the same as in every member state. The police wants more access to make their job easier, the cybersecurity experts push back, and then not much happens.
Neither VPNs nor end-to-end encryption will be outlawed by the EU.
Looks like EU sees what’s happening in China and says ” I want some of that, maybe that will lead to economic growth” …
Is it possible to do a European vote on firing all european lawmakers who continue to push for banning these things, including that stupid “backdoors in encryption” etc?
Its not what is on European citizens minds at all, and I think if it even comes to a citizen vote it would be overwelmingly in favor of not doing such things and focus on things that do matter.
The only thing I am personally slighly in favor for (which is also most likely not a popular opinion in the West) is what they do in Korea with their KSSN (korean identity card) that they need to use to sign up to online games, or social media etc.
As i think it helps to keep the internet more civil if you cant hide your identity anymore. Atleast not if police really need to find you. As your SSN is known.
They want control, all in the name of security bullshit, and I can’t wrap my head around why regular people think they have good intentions. The same people trashing this resolution defend others not realizing that all their tactics have the same agenda.
You can’t have dashcams in some countries because “privacy” but VPNs are “challenging”? No wonder some people hate the EU overreach
And each time we have to win the battle, while they need only one victory. We are heading in some dark times.
Guess I’ll stop watching football all together
If they take away my privacy I’ll start being ani-eu.. sorry but I love the eu because I’m free, take that away and I’m joining the “other” side
FUCK THE EU AND THEIR FACELESS, ANONYMOUS LEADERS, PUSHING THIS BS!
Mass surveillance is freedom! Just say yEUs!
Hi
Called it lol.
What a disaster.
Will the russophile move to Moscow if a law like that will be implemented?
STOP GOING AFTER PRIVACY AND ENCRYPTION – GO AFTER BIG TECH AND HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES
based
this is not america, this not the land of the free
you are not entitled to freedom
You can pry my VPN out of my cold, dead hands.
Bad reporting. The EU has dozens of High Level Groups. It’s just a way of organising different interest groups. They talk amongst themselves and make suggestions. Other groups can make counter suggestions. None of becomes law automatically, it just gets fed into the mix. Police etc recommend draconian ideas all the time. Last year they made at least 5 attempts to push through mass facial recognition surveillance combined with microphones in every public place in case they could hear people planning a crime. EU officials and politicians went nuts with horror. Not just at the idea, but just that the press would find out, because they knew what the public reaction would be. It’s a key reason why the AI Act has a specific clause banning it.
Relax. It’s just one idea from one lobby group. It’s not a plan.
Good. Their existence undermines the entire point of the GDPR et. al.
