I can't believe that EU can become much worse at privacy than America.
It always has been... * astronaut pointing a gun "
Yeah, time to vote for Pirates.
The Swedish Pirates welcome you aboard the European Pirate Ship! 🏴☠️💜🇸🇪
Great job backdooring the entire EU, EU oligarchs. This is so recklessly dangerous to national, regional, and global security that efforts to implement something so authoritarian and anti-democratic should be considered both treason and a crime against humanity; worthy of the Hague and life in prison.
This is the kind of shit Putin or Xi would try to pass if they corrupted the EU's institutions.
Agree 100%! Also: Please be the change you want to see and publish a list of these traitors to humanity in your comments.
We need to name and shame, only then will people remember the name when in the voting booth.
We can make these people radioactive by pulling at their thread until they are openly unveiled for their ties to whatever nefarious organizations they belong to.
This simply won't work and the implications and risks are too great to allow such a blasphemy. If a backdoor is built in every device, how do you guarantee the security ? This means anyone with enough skills and knowledge can abuse these types of backdoors.
This would set a very dangerous and dystopian precedent.
Thats only the „what if“. You always have to entertain the thought that your country gets taken over by non democratic forces. That then? They dont need any „what ifs“ they are legally allowed to spy on us and enabled by our own tech then. Who had genocide on steroids for 2025?
Don't assume that the European commissioners and their staffs know what they are doing or understand these matters. The depth of their collected knowledge could easily be documented in a single Powerpoint. And with not too many slides. And Ylva Johansson is well known for being both ignorant and utterly manipulated by lobbyists.
Guess we all gonna self-encrypt all of our communications
2029: EU proposes to criminalize the use of mathematics.
Education has always been the enemy of autocracy. Depriving people of it is a perfectly effective way to make them gullable and easily swayable by rhetoric.
Of course those in power (0.1%) dont want anyone to come up with alternatives to their supreme reign. Thats why, every push for less education, making it less affordable and paywalling knowledge should be condemned as a thinly veiled attempt at securing their infinite authority. Their kids get the education they need, ours wont.
I always envision us watering our fields with mountain dew in that situation.
They attack us again and again, so stopping this does not go far enough. We must create laws to destroy their privacy.
Let your MEP know their voters care about privacy. These efforts have been defeated before, it just requires vigilance. Your letter can be as simple as "I care about privacy". That's all you have to write.
Sounds like a stasi dream world

I was thinking about travelling to europe in the fall but looks like i'll pass now
This is just a proposal. It'll take years to pass into a law/directive (if it ever does). I'd say now is probably a decent time to visit, in case it does go forward
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
