This is so fucking stupid. Major crime organizations and governments can easily afford non-commercial encrypted communications. This will only be used to spy on citizens.
Exactly. Introducing vulnerabilities to everyone means that foreign powers will be able to use it to spy on EU citizens as well. Fucking bananas.
Maybe that's the goal. Overall you don't know who is lobbying the idea. You only see the press information.
Again?
Well it is a day ending in “y”.
ANY backdoor WILL get exploited. Just a matter of time.
that's the point, to secure itself against $enemy-nation the state will first secure itself against the citizenry, by having a way of compromising citizens security on demand
ultimately governnment only cares that IT can exploit the mechanism, not that other actors cannot do so via the same mechanism
strip away all the obfuscation layers (there are so many lol) and thats pretty much the extent of the thought process of natsec orgs. you're the threat. its an utterly retarded mind virus thats infected them we can all agree, but from an individual's standpoint we can only protest and hope to shame the policymakers into a constructive course of action
Don't worry fellas, we promise only good guys will use the back door. The bad guys promised not to use it
Are they not learning from the U.S.??
Your government can, and will, eventually turn against you. Under no circumstances should more power be given to it to compromise your privacy.
Data from now will be used against you or your children 30, 50, 80 years from now by another fascist government. Don't let that happen at an even broader scale
L after L in EU. Yesterday it was butchering GDPR, today it's putting backdoors in end to end encryption. What is next? The normal people can only take so much before they start burning shit and poking holes with pitchforks.
"normal" people understand nothing about this though
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
