      Isn’t it ironic how they call it ‘private’ data?

    2. buttetfyr12 on

      great and when a Euro trump takes over they know who to put in the camps – because they at some point had the wrong thought or the wrong sexuality or political belief.

      Fuck you, you syphilis addled cunts.

      Feasibility studies? Consulting experts? There is no such thing as a secure back door. The math ain’t mathing.

      They can suck my dick.
      It’s private data for a reason.

      If they want to combat terrorism they need to find other ways.
      Also, pretty sure these cunts at the top won’t have their own private data be decrypted, so fuck no.
      Blow me. None of that double standard piss.

      >Decryption. Next year, the EU Commission is set to present a Technology Roadmap on encryption to identify and evaluate decrypting solutions. These technologies are expected to equip Europol officers from 2030.

      I wonder if they are going to invest in decryption super-computers or something?

      Regardless it really is an impossible task since citizens can always up the encryption strength to a level that is unbreakable.

      That leaves a couple of options for law enforcement:

      * Criminalize strong encryption (which goes against the EU demand to protect critical data from bad actors, and is also trivial to circumvent for criminals).
      * Backdoor all our devices. This would be very bad on many different levels, and also possible to circumvent if you know what you’re doing.

      So, what is the plan, really? It’s logically an unsolvable problem to have the ability to decrypt data while at the same time guaranteeing that enemies and bad actors can’t decrypt the same data.

      If law enforcement has access to citizens data, then everbody else has access to that data. Hostile countries, criminal organisations and any angency who would be actually excluded from this access by law. There is no reality in which you force these kind of vulnerabilities onto tech companies and end not up with a full blown shitshow. In law enforcement there exists simply not the culture to handle this kind of access with responsibility or accountability.

      Fuck EU, first chat control and now this, it’s time to leave

    8. Lawmakers once again showing a fundamental misunderstanding of technology.

      You cannot write a backdoor into encryption, it is mathematically impossible. You can make a deliberately weak algorithm that is easy to crack or reverse engineer, but then no one will use it. Least of all fucking banks or private companies who want their proprietary data to be secured.

      So unless the EU mandates everyone use a shitty algorithm like DES, this ain’t happening. Or they develop super duper quantum computers capable of bringing sling modern algorithms but that’s a way off.

      It feels increasingly to me that expert knowledge is disappearing from regulatory talks and I’m worried that we’re being pushed out because we, as experts, complicate things that can be sold to the public easily.

      I’ve published papers on topics within cybersecurity and I’m a long time EU supporter but this is extremely concerning and frankly a surprising move.

      >AI solutions for law enforcement.

      JFC.

      Vote the EPP out.

    11. pijem_vino_in_pivo on

      By that date there will be quantum computers available and decrypting will be fast as sorting by length a bunch of uncooked spaghetti.

      Your state owns you, you can’t even own private things. It looks like you were a slave of the system. Where human rights?

    13. kemistrythecat on

      Forget private data. Which is ethically degenerate to want decrypted. The other part we should be shouting about is financial encryption.

      You like your banking app? Purchasing online to be secure? Your insurance company? Health records?

      One encryption is broken. They are all broken.

    14. Sniffwee_Gloomshine on

      Great! More transparency is a great idea!

      Why don’t we start with releasing Mrs. Von Der Leyen‘s Pfizer messages. And as next step we publish all private messages of the members of the European Commission and the European parliament.

      If they’ve got nothing to hide, then there’s no reason for them to be worried…

      In Hungary, we are already light-years ahead. Here, the state has been using this for a long time with Pegasus

    16. Police would rather eat donuts than do actual police work. 

      Perhaps they can first fix the blatant Russian/Chinese/Iranian troll disinformation campaign problems that are happening in public daily. 

    17. FrDaywim on

      The EU is a good thing in some cases, and absolute dogwater in other cases like this

    18. BoringEntropist on

      Installing backdoors to circumvent encryption is an invitation card to hostile intelligence agencies. Hybrid warfare attacks become much more feasible when your defenses have more holes then Swiss cheese.

      This isn’t just a theory, it already happened years ago. Due to patriot act stipulations, FBI has backdoor access to Gmail. Chinese intelligence gained access to this backdoor and promptly used it to spy on dissidents.

      Just think about the implications here. Encryption doesn’t just protect privacy, it also protects banking and utilities from unsanctioned access by third parties. And a surprising amount of military communication runs on private chat platforms. The long term strategic implications of such measures would be weaker defenses which will be exploited.

      well oen company lobbying for anti data protection previously was Facebook  in 2019, so who else is lobbying is the question 

    20. CertainMiddle2382 on

      Everyone does it secretly already.

      Those morons have to put it out publicly…

      It’s because there is no EU police, so it fell into politicians hands…

      For awareness, last year was one of the only grade 10 security incidents in Linux history. A hacker added a backdoor to OpenSSL which acts very much in a similar way to the ones government’s are clamouring for.

      If it had succeeded (which it was weeks from doing) it would have caused a massive geopolitical shitstorm. We’re talking something to rival the largest national security breaches in history.

      Governments all want their own, which is wild as something like this means basically all national infrastructure and secrets locked behind simply owning one of many physical devices. Even just being sent a private key for one.

      Incident is nicknamed XZutils backdoor to us techies if you want to look it up.

      These government officials are stupid man.

    22. They allow everyone from third world countries to invade but want our private data to be safe. Ursula and the lobbyists has lost their minds

      Is this good or is this bad ? I can’t say yet. Give me some feedback so I wont have to read each and every post here please.

    24. Memorysoulsaga on

      That does it. I’m officially voting with the goal of ousting these idiots.

      Children won’t celebrate the theft of their digital footpribt. They’ll be the ones who’ll notice it the most as they grow up under these idiotic conditions.

      ”Think of the children” arguments need to be countered with actually realistic ”think of the children” arguments.

    25. Sarcastic-Potato on

      Man.. Every time I think the EU could profit off of a global crisis by stepping up and increasing the advantages that the EU has, increasing the image of the EU at the same time they go ahead with some new bullshit proposal about taking away encryption and privacy…
