Thanks to more than 100 civil society groups joined us in speaking out against this proposal. So did thousands of individuals who signed the petition demanding that the EU “Stop Scanning Me.”

The LIBE comity has changed it’s stance towards the on device scanning and message scanning.

The text is not final, but scheduled to confirm the new agreement on the 13th of November.

Parliament’s position on the proposed law will now be against chat control, but the fight is not over: next we have to negotiate with member states. It’s vital we keep the pressure on governments to end this madness.

We won the battle but not the war.

We have to wait and see for eIDAS, let’s hope with the changes to eIDAS dead, we’ll have at least a few years of the Commission not proposing some dumb surveillance shit

I thought they were on to do something with that article 45 that has something to do with CA certificates. When did they go back and decide not to do it?

That one is a lost battle, alas. We’ll have to hack our browsers to make them secure, or download them via VPNs from the US.

It still has to pass the vote beginning of next year.

end-to-end encryption

This wording is concerning, although arguably encrypting a file locally offline then decrypting it again is end-to-end too…

Tibert@jlai.lu on 10 Nov 2023 14:09 collapse

End to end encryption means user to user.

Not a local storage… Your example is just an encrypted storage, there is no end.

mayoi@sh.itjust.works on 10 Nov 2023 14:16 next collapse

That’s what’s concerning, it’s implying that this won’t be protected.

Tibert@jlai.lu on 10 Nov 2023 14:24 collapse

What this? The user to user or device encryption? From the article, it seems that they stand also against device scanning.

mayoi@sh.itjust.works on 10 Nov 2023 14:26 collapse

“This” refers to any other type of encryption. Such as encrypting individual files.

a local storage

That’s would cut down on the trafficks. Much bit. Many wow.
