What?? Microsoft told the EU Going Dark HLG that the problem of interception of private communications on OTT services is more technical than legal, and referred to technical work already conducted to develop real-time interception capabilities for Skype and Teams https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/document/download/1bb75432-ba0d-45f7-a068-d54a5574f5c0_en?filename=HLG%20meeting%20on%2010%20April%202024-request%20for%20input_en.pdf

Very disappointing if Microsoft is willing to undermine the security of end-to-end encryption and build backdoors for law enforcement. #E2EE

🇩🇪Auf meine #Piraten-Klage gegen die freiwillige #Chatkontrolle hat das Landgericht Kiel formalen Gründen leider nicht über deren Zulässigkeit entschieden.

Ich gehe natürlich in die nächste Instanz und sehe der Zerstörung des Grundrechts auf #digitalesBriefgeheimnis nicht einfach zu!

[dk] Regeringen gør klar til at forlænge den generelle og udifferentierede #logning (ultimo marts), der kan indføres midlertidigt når der er en alvorlig trussel mod den nationale sikkerhed. Til det formål skal regeringen bruge en vurdering fra PET om, at der er en alvorlig terrortrussel (intet problem - det har PET "vurderet" hvert eneste år i 15 år).

Nyhedsmedierne falder for regeringens spin og kører "breaking" om at PET ser skærpet terrortrussel.. https://jyllands-posten.dk/indland/ECE16956997/pet-ser-skaerpet-terrortrussel-i-danmark/ #dkpol

The Going Dark High-Level Group is suggesting that the EU should be more like China/Iran and block access to communications services which do not comply with (also suggested) EU law on lawful interception for all types of communications services ("level playing field"), including of course secure #E2EE OTT services.

The Danish government is expanding its "targeted" #dataretention scheme [1]. Currently, it covers 67% of the population (based on residence in the targeted geographical areas). With the new additional targeting criteria, the coverage will be 74% of the population (according to this answer to a parliamentary question https://www.ft.dk/samling/20231/almdel/reu/spm/590/svar/2022917/2825586/index.htm).

When does companies know enough about us?

My wildest example of forced data mining in 2023 was a Sony camera lens I bought.

I could get a discount, only if I accepted their registration of data about me. And anyone who refused would have to pay a whopping EUR 375 extra for the same product.

My country has a law which requires business to treat customers equally. I really wish that law applied to anyone who wants to protect their own privacy.

@Kjaerulv has this ever been tried in court?

Noget kunne se ud til at alle brugere af #rejsekort i 2024 skal til at have GPS tændt på deres mobiltelefon for at kunne rejse. Mulighed for #overvågning? Batteri forbrug? Steder uden mobildækning?

"Med Rejsekort på app skal de rejsende checke ind via appen, inden de påbegynder rejsen, og checke ud, når rejsen er afsluttet. De rejsende behøver ikke længere at foretage et ekstra check ind, når der skiftes mellem transportmidler på en rejse."

According to a press release from the Danish government this morning, the Commission has informed France and Germany that their national legislation on age verification does not comply with the Digital Services Act. Because of that, the Danish government has decided to shelve its own legislative plans for age verification (on porn platforms). https://em.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/2023/nov/regeringen-stoetter-europaeisk-loesning-om-aldersverifikation (in Danish) #AgeVerification #DSA

It's not publicly available yet, but I bet it won't be long before the document gets published.

Twitter users are adding context to Commissioner Johansson's misleading defence of her CSA proposal yesterday. The irony couldn't be bigger with the Commission wanting Twitter to do more about disinformation.. #ChatControl

The coronation of King Charles takes place next Saturday.

After this date, banknotes showing the queen will no longer be valid.

You're probably hearing this for the first time and panicking a bit, but don't worry.

Just post your old notes to me, along with a stamped, self-addressed, envelope, and I will exchange them for you.
