@EU_Commission despairs on erosion of trust in #EU #politicsThen launches the next trust-eroding dystopic #surveillance program.As Jean-Claude Juncker put it:> We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.I'm pro-European 🇪🇺 , care about #privacy and #HumanRights. My faith is severely tested.https://last-chance-for-eidas.org

@kravietz @Ruth_Mottram @EU_Commission Thank you for this information. I will look into it a bit deeper.

@kravietz @Ruth_Mottram @EU_Commission I passed your msg on to Patrick Breyer, MEP, who responded in a fork of this thread. Hope to receive his view on it, if he has time to respond.

@kravietz @Ruth_Mottram @EU_CommissionIn a comment on HN:> What this legislation proposes [..] is putting in the hands of the government the power to administer (part of) this CA infrastructure. As with many EU-related legislation, this forcefully transfers power from private (often American) entities to EU governments.Which would make sense. But counteracted with:> It makes these gov CA's unrejectable, along with providing a means of tracking your activity.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38109494

@echo_pbreyer On a fork of this thread I was just made aware of a counter narrative to the Mozilla plea..https://agora.echelon.pl/objects/7758887a-15f0-4d2d-8a94-6854a3db878b> The outcry about #eIDAS is highly manipulative and very much resembles the infamous #ACTA2 campaign, where a number of US-based companies unrolled a fake "grassroots protest" against an EU regulation that was hurting their business but protected rights of EU citizens.I wonder what your take on that is.@benjamingeer

@smallcircles @echo_pbreyer Allowing governments to intercept encrypted web traffic sounds like a real cause for concern to me, and is exactly what the EU parliament has been opposing in the negotiations about #ChatControl. The signatories of the open letter are scientists and researchers at major research institutions, not companies. #Chatkontrolle

@benjamingeer @smallcircles @echo_pbreyer Have you ever looked at what certificates are shipped with browsers? If the fear is that a hostile government will redirect traffic and ship a bogus SSL, that ship sailed a long time ago.eIDAS is about government-issued identification. Or more accurately, about enabling the use of government-issued ID as 2FA hardware tokens on websites.
