Inför EU-valet är Socialdemokraterna (S) det enda riksdagspartiet som öppet förespråkar (!) massövervakningsförslaget #ChatControl 2.0. Tipsa gärna mig om ni vet att någon på S-listan är villig att gå emot partilinjen.
So let me get this right: Europol wants to not have E2EE because it would prevent them finding CSAM / CSE (among other things), but Europol also doesn't have a CyberTipline API for organisations to report CSAM / CSE to law enforcement?
So you aren't receiving reports of CSAM / CSE efficiently from existing services, but arguing you want to violate everyone's privacy to "find CSAM / CSE"
Why can EU companies not use US-based cloud infrastructure and SaaS products?
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows the US government to force US companies to share foreign customer data without a warrant or disclosure.
There is no way to reconcile US govt surveillance with the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights on privacy.
The EU finally sinks its regulatory teeth into tech titans
"Last week the six biggest operators – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft and ByteDance – were forced to toe the line on competition, advertising, interoperability and more. It was a gamechanger [...]
The existential challenge for societies today is whether they are capable of reining in tech power. [... T]his is a critical experiment for democracies"
I was surprised how many startup founders at #TechArena2024 were unaware European companies cannot use most US-based cloud services without violating GDPR because the US government has surveillance authority over most cloud infrastructure providers.
Apple has very publicly told you to go fuck yourselves with its malicious compliance. What you do next will decide whether malicious compliance is acceptable in the EU or not.
"It was in the countryside that both Mussolini and Hitler won their first mass following, and it was angry farmers who provided their first mass constituency.”
George Monbiot writes on the far right’s new agrarian populism, from Berlin to Nevada, and the moral forcefield surrounding farmers’ protests, defending them from criticism. #FarRight#Fascism#Populism#Farming#Agriculture#EUPol#USPol
Fighting CSAM is important. Interoperable digital identification is important. Both can be accomplished in a way that strengthens society without undermining the fundamental human right to privacy. The details matter.
the sound of silence from Western academia 😥 Where is the condemnation of Israel's elimination of Palestinian universities?🤔
. . .
'Israel’s military occupies and destroys Israa University in Gaza. Israa University in Gaza was transformed into a military base by Israel’s armed forces, as confirmed by the university’s official Facebook page.
The institution, which once served as a beacon of education, was reportedly used for Israeli military operations, the detention of isolated civilians, and interrogation purposes.'

Jag vill poängtera att det inte är ett ”kritiserat förslag mot barnporr som stoppas”. Det är ett kritiserat massövervakningsförslag som bryter mot Barnkonventionen som tillfälligt ser ut att kunna förhindras.
Let's face facts, we all live in colonialist, fascist, imperialistic, empire like countries, it is knowing the degree of which the majority of the population is willing to put up with, without revolting, that is the art of politics.
Right now many are testing those limits, and your own personal apathy towards their actions.
What do you think is the underlying cause of German, Dutch and Finnish public finances being such a mess compared to the virtuous budgets of Greece and Spain?
(You can vote in the poll down thread)
Reminder that if you live in the EU, you should spend 5 minutes today to write your MEPs asking them to oppose a disastrous plan to undermine web security.

We beat EU #chatControl because people took action in mass. This is even worse.
