Swedish government wants to get access to your encrypted messaging communication.
Exactly how are they thinking of doing that?
I am no tech specialist, even I have been online since early 1990s. I may very well miss something or be ignorant of some aspects, but..

OK, let's say Swedish government wants backdoors to messaging apps.
Signal refuses and leaves Sweden.
So, is the Swedish government going to demand that of everyone messaging app?
Signal, WhatsApp, etc, they are centralised, so could perhaps work.

But what about smaller, "unknown", decentralised messaging services? Like SimpleX? How are you going to get them to comply?

Or XMPP/Jabber with OMEMO encryption? That is a not an app, not even a messaging service, but a protocol, similar to email.
Do you think every developer of an XMPP app is going to comply? That is, if you are even capable of finding them? And that goes for the XMPP servers, as well. "Anyone" can set up an encrypted XMPP server.

The future of #Chatcontrol is still very unclear. The cynical politicisation of this law continues to obfuscate the possibility of a resolution based on evidence and law https://edri.org/our-work/poland-searches-for-silver-bullet-for-csa-regulation/

Undermine encryption is frightening, would make everyone less safe. “There are 10 billion text messages sent every day in Europe, which would produce one billion false alarms” https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/the-case-for-encryption/ #chatcontrol

Ingegratie en migratieachtergrond

Niet in hun DNA, wel verwerken zij de trauma's van hun ouders in hun dagelijks leven. Begrijpelijk, maar m.i. een enorm risico voor Nederland als wij hen de kans geven om hun m.i. extremistische (vaak waan-) ideëen te verwezenlijken. Dan verandert "integreren" in een andere kant op sleuren.

🔸 VOLKSPARTIJ: "volk" als in degenen met een "volks"wagen als eerste auto (https://topgear.nl/autonieuws/oef-de-prijs-van-de-golf-gti-is-in-20-jaar-tijd-verdubbeld/), stijgende huurprijzen, hypotheekrenteaftrek, etc.

🔸 VRIJHEID: Chatcontrol, EHDS, Gazanen, ongelijke kansen voor Marokkanen en Moslims, godsdienstvrijheid, asielzoekers zondebokkeren, etc.

🔸 DEMOCRATIE: verheerlijking van kapitalisme, privatiseren, big company partijsponsoring, inperken demonstratierecht, kamermoties naast je neerleggen (vb: [1]), liegen over Jodenhaat, CIDI-invloed, etc.

Dat het ook anders kan, bewijzen velen met een migratieachtergrond (Aboutaleb, Marcouch, Nasr, etc).

Press conference done. So that was it. On my way to a beer. #Chatcontrol stays zombie. It deserves to be buried. Let's hope Poland does exactly that in the next 6 months. Enjoy your evening/day and thank you all for dealing with my slightly excessive posting on this topic :)

Question time at press conference. So far only questions on border/syria topics. That's also a reality check, IMHO. #Chatcontrol isn't that big of a topic for the media. That's unfortunately quite normal.

So. TL;DR on #Chatcontrol in the council today. No vote. So 2022/0155(COD) stays in Zombie mode and is pushed to the incoming council presidency of Poland. It remains to be seen if they bring it up again in the first 6 months of 2025. In the council the countries that would vote at leat ABSTAIN declared why. That is all that happened.

¡Hungría lo ha retirado de la agenda de hoy!

⚠️ Lo llaman "Reglamento por el que se establecen normas para prevenir y combatir el abuso sexual de menores", pero en él no hay ni una sola línea sobre el abuso de menores. Lo que propone es acabar con la #privacidad de las comunicaciones, permitiendo que algoritmos opacos revisen nuestros mensajes en nuestros dispositivos. Se está debatiendo en la Unión Europea. Es un despropósito y hay que frenarlo.
#ChatControl.

🇬🇧 Alarm: EU governments want to adopt totalitarian blanket #ChatControl 2.0 "possibly" as early as next week (19/20 Oct), thus burying digital privacy of correspondence and secure encryption. Ambassadors will discuss tomorrow:
