🚨 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.”https://last-chance-for-eidas.org#eu #privacy #surveillance #eidas

@aral Iirc, Iran does the same as well and The Netherlands has been doing so for a while as well.

@JohnDal Depends on how you have setup things and how they try to tap you.*Generally* won't be a big issue as they need to tap between the VPN server and the destination server.@aral

@finlaydag33k @aral eIDAS started nine years ago. I've had a Bulgarian cert for at least five years.Utility is limited by the refusal to distribute the certificates of less-powerful counties. We all have cryptographically-verifiable PKI, but Google wants us to use their app instead.

@finlaydag33k @aral I remember reading quite a few years back about how the Dutch Communications Ministry Agentschap Telecom (now the Rijksinspectie voor Digitale Infrastructuur) had started introducing this - (with surprisingly little comment about it across Europe)

@vfrmedia @finlaydag33k The Netherlands is scary in just how much Orwellian legislation/processes they can introduce without anyone batting an eyelid. They embraced body scanners by default at the airports*. They’re also going cash-free at an alarming rate. And few folks seem to be worried.(An uncomfortable eye opener for me was when I was processed by G4S at one end of my trip and by G4S at the other while traveling to the Netherlands from possibly the UK once.)

@aral Yea, I still pay a bunch in cash but indeed it's getting harder and harder to do so.Places where you can put cash into your bank account are also becoming increasingly rare.@vfrmedia

@finlaydag33k @vfrmedia There’s a reason in the prequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, one of the first things a fledgling Gilead does is to freeze the bank accounts of women – rendering them financially dependent on men from one day to the next.

@aral @finlaydag33k I can understand Dutch to about the level of a teenager/youth, and around 2012-4 read a lot of forums that young people in NL hung out on, and even on "alternative" subcultures like the electronic dance music scene I noticed a whole load of toxic attitudes about gender and race from young Dutch men (and these men will now be in their 30s and 40s, and possibly in positions of power) - and its the same problem here in the UK

@vfrmedia tbf, most toxic attitudes about gender and race have pretty much passed.All it is nowadays is some fairly isolated cases.The general population doesn't really bother much with it all.@aral

@finlaydag33k @aral That is good to know, what worried me is that I was on groups for subcultures that were previously (in 1980s/90s/00s) very inclusive so it seemed like NL (and UK) was sliding back. But I did notice even on the piratenhits/pirate radio scene (where folk are even older and from rural areas) they were becoming more diverse and inclusive (eg I've heard more female DJ's on the pirates recently)

@vfrmedia Yea, we've mostly opened up luckily.We kinda have a more "just don't bother me and we good" attitude towards a lot of shit.Most of the toxicity is found in places where religion still matters a lot, like Urk... Then again, you don't wanna be found dead in those places anyways.@aral

@finlaydag33k Urk was the first place that came to mind when I thought of "parts of NL best avoided!"culturally the part of England where I live is very similar to NL (even with the religious/conservative rural areas), just that "everything happens on the other side of the road" 😁 @aral

@aral Aral, this story is bullshit. It’s yet another of US companies to thwart a regulation that hurts their business, nothing more - I’ve explained it in details here:https://agora.echelon.pl/notice/AbOZJBmQBHLG8ySyZs

@aral Uh, no. This is some weird tinfoil hat nonsense. eiDAS isn't Clipper Chip, it PKI.This regulation would require that browsers recognize the certificates of EU government-issued IDs.It would allow me to use the same hardware token ID I use to file taxes and customs paper to verify my ID with banks, EU agencies, and other governments. It would allow us to use our IDs to sign PDFs, and widely enable passport verification.

@opendna Yep, we’re all tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists here, you really figured us out. Everyone at Mozilla too. They’re the worst! That’s why Google pays them half a billion dollars a year. Because – you guessed it (damn, you’re good) – Google are tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists too! Don’t let their trillion-dollar adtech business fool you, it’s tin foil hat all the way down. Ever wonder why you never see the inside of their propeller hats?… Now you know.Viktor Orbán approves this message.
