EU’s ‘Going Dark’ Expert Group Publishes 42-Point Surveillance Plan For Access To All Devices And Data At All Times
According to the 42-point surveillance plan, manufacturers are to be legally obliged to make digital devices such as smartphones, smart homes, IoT devices, and cars monitorable at all times (“access by design”). Messenger services that were previously securely encrypted are to be forced to allow for interception.
@corlin and people think the EU data laws are superior
Maybe to some extent they are but the new laws some want, and might get, will just be, mind-boggling, creating situations for users data, and more importantly privacy, to be exploited more than it is now by big tech and government agencies
Awaiting on UK to amend its new laws next to break encryption - to save children after all 🥴
@ecksmc @corlin The overuse of "save the children" rhetoric to push totalitarian bullshit is AWFUL.
And that's the only thing it's ever used for.
Honestly, I wish we could keep our rates of infant/child mortality, disfigurement, etc infinitesimally low... while rolling back the societal *mentality* around this stuff back to the days when child deaths/disfigurements/etc were just a normal fact of life, so "save the children" rhetoric becomes completely/utterly ineffective for pushing 1984 shit.
@IrelandTorin @corlin yup
Especially when you actually know what's happening
“Who will benefit from the legislation?” Gerkens asked. “Not the children.”

The people, and groups, behind it all for this has been documented BUT rarely gets mentioned
Always someone somewhere who'll be gaining from it
