Secret #EU law threatens #Internet security #massSurveillance
Last Chance to fix #eIDAS

"New legislative articles, introduced in recent closed-door meetings and not yet public, envision that all 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. Any EU member state has the ability to designate cryptographic keys for distribution in web browsers and browsers are forbidden from revoking trust in these keys without government permission.

#EU #Ireland #FacialRecognition #Biometrics #Surveillance: "In seeking legislation to allow the use of facial recognition technology (FRT) in policing, Ireland risks introducing a technology that scientific evidence has demonstrated is ineffective, inherently flawed, opaque and discriminatory. Rights and civil liberties advocates across the globe have formed coalitions to warn of its dangers. If Ireland goes ahead with this controversial technology, it is a matter of time before the country finds itself in another cautionary international headline." https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/03/20/were-headed-for-big-problems-if-gardai-get-facial-recognition-technology/

1/3 🚨 # Spyware can turn a phone into a real-time spying device. EU lawmakers and journalists are becoming targets of this #surveillance tech.

Just last month Brussels was rocked by a spyware scandal.

What will it take for the EU to finally act against #spyware?

"The future of proselytizing—and surveillance—has arrived. An app called Bless Every Home, which has been backed by some of the biggest names in evangelical circles, is mapping the personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and 'prayerwalking' rituals through their neighborhoods."

3/5 🚨 The #AIAct especially fails to protect people on the move and migrants.

In fact, it enables police and migration control to use harmful #surveillance tech against them.

It’s kind of ironic that the Police don’t like being filmed when they themselves are so keen on things like live facial recognition cameras and filming us https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68533904 #watchmen #police #surveillance

"More than four years after it was first introduced, the Online Safety Act (OSA) was passed by the U.K. Parliament in September 2023. The Act seeks to make the U.K. 'the safest place' in the world to be online and provides Ofcom, the country’s communications regulator, with the power to enforce this. EFF has opposed the Online Safety Act since it was first introduced. It will lead to a more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The Act empowers the U.K. government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but internet users worldwide." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/03/effs-submission-ofcoms-consultation-illegal-harms #EFF #OSA #OnlineSafetyAct #surveillance #censorship

"Few months ago I reported on a real case, when police used TG bot with personal info to deanon TG user. He was found, then fined for "discrediting the army" because of the comment under the post with a regional news. Eshniks (people from FSB department to combat extremism) attached a screenshot from a bot to the case materials."
