🚨 #RED alert! 🚨

#EU #RadioLockdown: a digital rights calamity.

https://fsfe.org/activities/radiodirective/statement.en.html

This directive has been passed, ignoring feedback as usual:

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/2042-Application-of-Article-3-3-i-and-4-of-Directive-2014-53-EU-relating-to-Reconfigurable-Radio-Systems/feedback_en?p_id=380919&page=1

Full of overt displays of ignorance of the subject matter (grep for "fraud" ... 🤦‍♂️), #RED nevertheless poses a real threat to basic freedoms.

It would ban non-corporate-controlled OS on any radio capable device (including WIFI) !?

You've read that right.

So let's spread the word and get this hostile law repealed ASAP!

Wie sieht es eigentlich gerade mit #RadioLockdown aus? Eine schöne Zusammenfassung mit Input von mir @fsfe:

Kurzum: Gar nicht gut. Die @EU_Commission versteht nicht, dass diese weltfremde Richtlinie durchweg schädlich ist, trotz Gutachten und viel Kritik.

What do you think about #RadioLockdown, a directive that may prevent you to install new software on any radio equipment?

There is a public consultation that closes today at midnight CEST. Have your say!

Going through that consultation, I have to say: It seems to be designed to produce a result of "yes, we absolutely need this regulation."

Remember how we asked the @[email protected] and governments not to harm #CommunityWifi such as @[email protected]? In this consultation, the Commission asks you how to do that: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/TargetedConsultationReconfigurableRadioSystems #radiolockdown #freesoftware
