EU plant neues Massenüberwachungsgesetz mit Vorratsdatenspeicherung & Zwangs-Backdoors – jetzt ist noch Widerspruch möglich!

Hey Leute,

die EU plant gerade ein neues Gesetz zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung, das echt krass werden könnte. Es geht nicht nur um ein paar Verbindungsdaten, sondern darum, jeden Online-Dienst zur Überwachung zu verpflichten – also auch Messenger, Hosting-Anbieter, Webseiten usw.

Das Ganze läuft unter dem Titel:

„Retention of data by service providers for criminal proceedings“

Hier kann man bis zum 18. Juni 2025 Feedback abgeben: Have Your Say

Was ist geplant?

  • Pflicht zur Datenspeicherung mit Identitätsbindung – also alles, was du online machst, muss auf dich zurĂĽckfĂĽhrbar sein.
  • Sanktionen fĂĽr Dienste, die keine NutzerĂĽberwachung einbauen – darunter könnten auch VPNs, selbstgehostete Sachen oder Open-Source-Projekte fallen.
  • Backdoors in Geräte und Software – mit Hardwareherstellern soll zusammengearbeitet werden, um „gesetzlichen Zugriff“ zu ermöglichen.
  • Auch kleine Anbieter betroffen – es geht ausdrĂĽcklich nicht nur um Meta, Google & Co.

Das Ganze basiert auf Empfehlungen einer „High Level Group“, deren Mitglieder komplett geheim gehalten werden. Patrick Breyer (Piraten/MEP) @echo_pbreyer hat nachgefragt – die EU hat ihm eine geschwärzte Liste geschickt.

Laut EDRi wurde die Zivilgesellschaft explizit ausgeschlossen. Lobbyismus deluxe.

Was kann man tun?

Einfach Feedback abgeben, geht in 2 Minuten.

Kurz schreiben, dass man gegen anlasslose Vorratsdatenspeicherung und Überwachung ist, reicht schon. Jeder Kommentar zählt.

Deadline ist der 18. Juni 2025, Mitternacht (BrĂĽsseler Zeit).

Wäre gut, wenn wir aus der IT-Szene da nicht still bleiben. Das betrifft wirklich alle – Entwickler, Admins, SysOps, Hoster, ganz normale Nutzer.

My feedback to the EU regarding the newly proposed law forcing all websites to plaintext store everything users do or write for law enforcement.

This may be the dumbest law the EU has proposed as of yet, and it already attempted chat control and article 13 / 11, so this says a lot!

Not only have providers complained for decades about the cost of storing so much user data, of which 99.99999% won't ever be used, but also does law enforcement rarely need this kind of data, and by the time they've legally gained access to it, it won't be stored anymore.

It's a horrid invasion of our privacy, but the perfect tool for fascist regimes, for whom we are paving the way with this!

If you only invite corporate spyware lobbyist orgs to draft a law, this is the result. Peter Thiel couldn't have written a better proposal.

Stop this law if you wish for any citizen of this continent to respect you as an institution!

@ErikUden this is probably an example of Hanlon's razor, but it does sound awfully convenient for American, Chinese, and Russian spy agencies too. (And China already managed to use backdoors created for American law enforcement)

@ErikUden Be serious though, what are the odds of a developed Western country being subject to a Fascist takeover?

Oh, wait

Crap on a cracker, I thought the UK Fash laws were getting bad.

Hang on. Is Palantir involved like they are here?

If so THAT would explain it.
They've already nicked all NHS data, now they want the rest.

@ErikUden It also increases the attack surface. They're bloody relentless.

@ErikUden I'm reminded of the MI5 reaction to the "snoopers charter" here in the UK where ISPs would have been asked to do something similar. Not just dystopian but also ineffective for the stated purpose.

@craignicol @ErikUden noz.only that but this idea is so unconstotutional and violates so many EU laws that the people who propose that shit should get fired from any public office and be declared unfit to be elected into one for being anti-European as in #HumanRights & #CivilRights!
