Historic agreement on chat control proposal: European Parliament wants to remove chat control and safeguard secure encryption.

To me this means:

  • They couldn’t figure out how to do it, or

  • It was too expensive to implement, and

  • They’ll just get the NSA to share the data with them at a fraction of the cost

  • They will focus on eIDAS now

You forgot one:

  • They’ll quietly re-introduce it in another 6-18 months.

Ha, yes. I was thinking about that after I posted the comment.

Yeah, they wanted to do something very, very impossible and easily to skip… XD

How is it impossible? Just proxy all the SSL connections, use MITM certificates and break/inspect the data, capturing it to your own PCAP Servers.

EDIT: There’s more to it than that, but these are some of the fundamentals.

Nah, better to I2P or Tor: they don’t need certs at all.

The people who care will.
