Wie es mit der Schweiz weitergeht, dürfte noch spannend werden, #Cryptowar.

Crypto Wars: Europol-Chefin fordert wieder mal Zugang zu verschlüsselten Nachrichten

Europol-Chefin Catherine De Bolle will beim Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos auf Tech-Unternehmen einwirken, Ermittlungsbehörden Zugang zu verschlüsselten Nachrichten zu verschaffen. Die Unternehmen müssten ihrer „sozialen Verantwortung“ nachkommen, sonst sei die Demokratie gefährdet, so De Bolle. Dem widerspricht der Chaos Computer Club.

New T shirts for the wicked. Stay Outlaw! Work in progress. SOON! #cryptowar #resist #underground #digitalunderground

Today we experienced a small victory as the vote for the proposal regarding #ChatControl was withdrawn.

This was only the first wave. We will have to keep the pressure up as this proposal might come up again when the EU Presidency moves to Hungary.

Today it was made clear that this bill would outlaw end-to-end encryption as Ella Jakubowska said on the other site. This is straight-up the next #cryptowar. Edit: added a word, was too excited when I drafted this. 😃

It really should be obvious to each and all that the crypto wars have nothing to do with anybody's "safety".
It is about CONTROL. Ergo: MASS SURVEILLANCE.

Chat Control & Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU.

After Snowden’s whistleblowing in 2013, large parts of the internet became encrypted, enabling private and secure communication. Not everyone has welcomed this change. Most notably, the FBI and other U.S. government agencies have fought what is often called the “crypto wars”, the war on encryption. In recent years, they have been joined by the European Commission. Under the slogan “what about the children,” they try to introduce total mass surveillance of all EU citizens — first through the proposed Chat Control legislation, and later via the Going Dark and ProtectEU initiatives. The goal is to legally mandate spy tools on every European smartphone and computer. The forces behind these efforts have turned out to be American tech companies and intelligence agencies.

Crypto Wars: Bürgerrechtler wollen Licht in "Going Dark"-Arbeitsgruppe bringen

Die EU-Kommission hat eine Expertengruppe eingerichtet, um das "Problem" der Verschlüsselung zu lösen. Aus der Zivilgesellschaft kommt der Ruf nach Transparenz.

@orci Then there are always decentralized options like XMPP...

but of course if more #cryptowar laws somehow go through, only criminals would have secure communication.

Makes perfect sense I know. 😐
