Open letter: Mass surveillance and undermining encryption still on table in EU Council - European Digital Rights (EDRi)
Open letter: Mass surveillance and undermining encryption still on table in EU Council - European Digital Rights (EDRi)
Today, 17 April, EDRi, in a coalition with 48 civil society organisations and 26 individual experts, call on Member State representatives not to agree to the proposed EU Council position on the Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) Regulation whilst so many critical issues remain.
You're viewing a single thread.
Are they going to criminalize prime factorization and elliptic curves? Or how do you prevent a group of people from encrypting their messages?
The encryption itself isn't outlawed. The law would force all app and service providers (signal and proton for example are mentioned as high risk entities) to implement backdoors. The user to user communication stays encrypted.
and any that code their way out of it using publicly audited and verified technologies will get sued out of business, at best.
Individuals who implement their own encryption will be targeted next, if they aren't already.
Probably mass punishment
I have a feeling this will turn out just like prohibition in the US
