The EU’s ominous plan to mass-scan citizens’ private messages is now being pushed through the backdoor — it would amount to mass surveillance on a massive and unprecedented scale
why is it that euro policy ideas dovetail so nicely with the intel agencies?? is this how the power structure works? are the intel agencies viewed as god by politicians and those involved in directing affairs in the eu to the point they have to bend over and give them everything they wish??
of course the concept of privacy never meant much to a lot of these same people.. that is fairly clear..
And it's not a coincidence the same EU is busy pushing to wage a war that few citizens of European countries wish to wage.
So with this mass surveillance tool, they can target opponents, and a) subject them to blackmail b) retroactively manufacture some kind of offense or crime to take down opponents.
The best way they can model the behavior they claim they want is to immediately:
- begin recording and archiving the electronic messages of all EU officials
- begin recording and publishing on a daily basis, full transcripts and recording of all contact, meeting and discussions between EU officials and lobbyists or representatives fo business and interest groups.
There we will find crimes already - if they actually want to find crime.
Well, it's gonna die with the end of Denmark's presidency, which put it at the top of its agenda — with Macron pushing backstage.
ChatControl not only calls for scanning messages before encryption, but also sets out a backdoor at the request of Europol (both hardware and software). Keep in mind that today, security is more hardware than software (e.g., Titan 2 chips).
1/ The whole “tech” economy in Europe will go down the drain, as no one will buy anything with a backdoor, and hardware manufacturers and software developers have already said no.
2/ Say bye-bye to the digital euro and digital ID, which require the highest possible security.
3/ Germany’s stance is grounded in last August’s constitutional court ruling that bars any form of scan on any device, as well as spyware for people not suspected of a serious crime in an ongoing criminal investigation.
ChatControl is a legal and technical impossibility, that would furthermore require dropping the whole GDPR and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights — and the Declaration of Human Rights (correspondence secrecy is a human right).
So we're dealing again with a bunch of idiots who don't understand what the hell they're doing. The EU in a nutshell.
Time to dismantle the loony farm and prosecute those who have brought us to this point.

Another one behind the pay wall……
