      The lobbyists of multinational surveillance capitalism oligarchs just have to make a few tweaks and bribes to have one of their operatives in the political class resubmit.

    In the risk analysis, providers must check whether their services can be misused for the dissemination of abuse material or for contacting children. There are to be three categories for this: high, medium, and low risk. Providers in the highest category could be obliged to participate in the development of risk mitigation technologies.

    We can anticipate Signal and co. will be part of the high risk category and assume the risk mitigation tech will be aimed towards breaking encryption. Especially since this new agency will be interfacing with Europol. I don’t see this as a win or even a draw.

      Every single politician is for public/private partnerships (fascism) anyway, so this makes sense to most who know what this is all about.

    Can we implement Chat-Control-Control?

    Monitor all EU Parliament politicians’ devices and computers to find out each time some lobbyist calls them to enact chat control. Of course, most communications have nothing to do with chat control, so they’ll have nothing to hide, yes? Let’s see how much they would like that.

      That’s not sufficient, we need pre-emptive capabilities to fine them on just the mere categorical topic of digital communications. It’s up for them to prove they are innocent.

    Holy shit I opened the webpage and I was stunned with a ad thingy with no button to Decline all but instead with a setting page. Why are sites like this now. At least they ask instead of just doing it without consent, that’s a plus.
