Having Barcelona become a crucial regional outpost for offensive cybersecurity companies puts the spyware problem squarely on the doorstep of Europe, which has a fractious relationship with surveillance tech, due to scandals in Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, and Poland — all involving Israeli spyware makers.

Last Chance to fix #eIDAS
"New legislative articles, introduced in recent closed-door meetings and not yet public, envision that all web browsers distributed in Europe will be required to trust the certificate authorities and cryptographic keys selected by EU governments.
These changes radically expand the capability of EU governments to surveil their citizens by ensuring cryptographic keys under government control can be used to intercept encrypted web traffic across the EU. Any EU member state has the ability to designate cryptographic keys for distribution in web browsers and browsers are forbidden from revoking trust in these keys without government permission.

Während andere autoritäre Staaten wie beispielsweiße #Russland bereits weiter sind, könnte sich auch in der Europäischen Union schon bald eine Verifikations- bzw Identifizierungspflicht im #Internet durchsetzen. Diese wird im Gesetzesvorhaben zur #Chatkontrolle jedenfalls für bestimmte Seiten, Inhalte und für den Download und die Nutzung bestimmter Software, wie zB Chatprogrammen wie Signal und Co., ebenso erwogen. Durch die in der #EU und ihren Mitgliedsstaaten ebenfalls vorangetriebene Einführung von "Digitalen Identitäten" (eIDAS, BundID, etc.) können derartige Kontrollen zukünftig auch leichter erfolgen und nach möglichen Einschränkungen anfangs, später mit beliebigem Anlass ausgeweitet werden. Schließlich werden die Autoritären in der #EU sich gewiss nicht gerne von Russland abhängen lassen, was ihre Visionen für digitale Überwachungs- und Kontrollgesellschaften angeht.
So dann.

Online-Ausweis und VPN-Verbot: Streit über Anonymität im Netz kocht wieder hoch
In Frankreich und im EU-Parlament gewinnt die Debatte über ein Ende der Online-Anonymität an Fahrt. Auch die geplante europäische eID spielt dabei eine Rolle.Stefan Krempl (heise online)
"Ein neues russisches Gesetz macht Identitätsfeststellungen im Internet verpflichtend. Vor allem Online-Plattformen und Hosting-Provider unterliegen künftig strengen Auflagen. Eine anonyme Nutzung des Internets ist in Russland damit kaum noch möglich.
(...)
Doch nicht nur Online-Plattformen nimmt das neue Gesetz ins Visier, sondern auch Hosting-Provider, die Speicher für Webseiten oder Internetdienste bereitstellen.
(...)
Hosting-Provider und Online-Plattformen, welche die neuen Auflagen erfüllen, werden in Zukunft in einem staatlichen Register mit „erlaubten“ Anbietern aufgeführt. Das Register obliegt der Aufsicht einer staatlichen Behörde, die noch bis zum 1. Februar 2024 bestimmt wird.

Dass Staaten und #EU in diesem Zusammenhang jetzt sogar noch auf die Echtzeit-Überwachung von Audiokommunikation hinarbeiten, zeigt, wie weit und maßlos die autoritären Bestrebungen der Herrschenden offensichtlich reichen und wie gefährlich "digitale Vorhaben" der EU ganz allgemein sind.
Es sollte aber auch bedacht werden, dass es sich bei so etwas um taktische Maximalforderung handeln kann. Nach dem Muster, dass alles andere dann "nicht mehr so schlimm" wirkt und im Falle einer vermeintlichen Abschwächung des Vorhabens oder eines Gerichtsurteils, zwar ein "Immerhin ist das mit der Audioüberwachung nicht durchgekommen" steht und irgendwelche Seiten und Parteien sich mal wieder für irgendwelche faulen Kompromisse feiern lassen, während trotzdem die #Massenüberwachung von persönlicher Text-Kommunikation, Identifizierungspflichten für Chatprogramme, Websites und App-Stores sowie Netzsperren durchgesetzt werden.

Some advocates of these censorship schemes argue we can nerd our way out of the many harms they cause to speech, equity, privacy, and infosec. Their silver bullet? “Age estimation” technology that scans our faces, applies an algorithm, and guesses how old we are – before letting us access online content and opportunities to communicate with others. But when confronted with age estimation face scans, many people will refrain from accessing restricted websites, even when they have a legal right to use them. Why?
Because quite simply, age estimation face scans are creepy AF – and harmful. First, age estimation is inaccurate and discriminatory. Second, its underlying technology can be used to try to estimate our other demographics, like ethnicity and gender, as well as our names. Third, law enforcement wants to use its underlying technology to guess our emotions and honesty, which in the hands of jumpy officers is likely to endanger innocent people. Fourth, age estimation face scans create privacy and infosec threats for the people scanned. In short, government should be restraining this hazardous technology, not normalizing it through age verification mandates."

According to Google’s own testing, DoH is more private, secure, and performant than DoT on Android. There is no reason whatsoever to limit it to a handful of Google-approved servers.
Just like with Manifest V3 in Chrome, this arbitrary restriction on what DNS servers can use the most modern technologies in Android is a clear example of Google abusing their position to campaign against blocking invasive trackers. One of the clearest uses for custom DNS servers is the ability to block privacy-invasive services like Google’s at the DNS level.

That’s a big ask that feels insurmountable at this moment, but it’s a movement can start now with people who are fed up with our current de facto abusive tech business models. I think eventually we will get there anyway, because the I am not sure the current extractive model is sustainable without encountering massive social unrest within the next decade. The alternative to change, if taken to an extreme, may be the collapse of personal liberty for everyone.
In the meantime, while these lofty goals simmer and take shape, you can also continue to take personal steps to preserve your own tech liberty. Support nonprofits like the EFF that fight for privacy and user rights, strong encryption, open source, use local storage, and so on. I highly encourage it.
Ultimately I hope these thoughts can be a starting point for others to pick up the torch and build off of. I will also be thinking of constructive solutions for a future follow-up."

Last year, a New York Times investigation highlighted how G.M. was sharing information with insurance companies without clear knowledge from the driver. This resulted in people’s insurance premiums increasing, sometimes without them realizing why that was happening. This data sharing problem was common amongst many carmakers, not just G.M., but figuring out what your car was sharing was often a Sisyphean task, somehow managing to be more complicated than trying to learn similar details about apps or websites."

Please read up on whether your messaging system is *end-to-end* encrypted, not just “encrypted”, and think about whether you trust the developers to write good code and not lie to you about how things work.
Mastodon DMs are *not* end-to-end encrypted! You should not write anything on Mastodon that you don’t want published in the open (given sufficient incentive).
Some systems *can* be end-to-end encrypted but are not by default. RCS, FB Messenger, and Instagram DMs fall into this category AFAICT. Some systems don’t even offer it, like Discord.
Please consider moving your private messages to a system that is private by design! I’m partial to Signal, but feel free to choose your own.
