Another EU mass surveillance attempt. Will kill privacy on web. Must not pass.
“[A]ll web browsers distributed in Europe will be required to trust the certificate authorities and cryptographic keys selected by EU governments.
These changes radically expand the capability of EU governments to surveil their citizens by ensuring cryptographic keys under government control can be used to intercept encrypted web traffic across the EU.”
@aral interesting how all of a sudden cryptography is not the enemy anymore. Looking at you, #chatcontrol
@grob Oh, it’s always the enemy. This is just one way of bypassing it. Client-side scanning is another. Signalling capture is a third (“let’s add another end to the end-to-end without telling anyone”). As far as I can see, they’re still very much interested in trying their luck with all these approaches. (When they’re not busy trying to outlaw mathematics, that is.)
