[dk] Lovforslag giver #PET adgang til at opbygge store databaser om HELE befolkningen fra alle (u)mulige kilder. PET kan samkøre og bruge disse databaser til data-mining overvågning af HELE befolkningen for at finde ukendte målpersoner (den automatiserede mistanke-maskine). Peter Hummelgaards "svar" på kritikken: lovforslaget giver ikke PET øget adgang til at overvåge ENKELTpersoner

'Det er ikke øget overvågning', forsikrede minister - nu hagler kritikken ned over ham

Regeringen vil give efterretningstjeneste et super vidtgående værktøj, lyder advarslen.

International operation takes down another encrypted messaging service used by criminals – It is not the first time and will not be the last time that authorities are able to read criminals’ messages in real time | Europol

What Europol really means: all messages on the service have already been intercepted, without prior individualised suspicion, and analysed with Europol's AI data-mining tools, but please send an EIO/MLA request to make the investigation look legal..

While some analysts have compared #Cellebrite to the NSO Group, there is a distinction: NSO Group sells its wares to governments to spy clandestinely on journalists and other civilians while skirting legal protocol, while “Cellebrite works in the legitimate world of the police force, whose abilities are closely controlled,” Carmil [Cellebrite CEO] told Israeli media in 2020.

I am so relieved.. NOT. Fortunately, this BS claim is debunked by @Privacy International in the article.

The #AgeVerification future: Meta's AI says you are below 13, and there is nothing you can do.. 'On Tuesday, I loaded Instagram and learned Meta had disabled my account. The alleged reason was that I was under 13, the minimum age for joining the site. It gave me 30 days to appeal [..] asking me to upload a copy of my state ID. I decided to trust Meta’s promise it would be “stored securely and deleted within 30 days.” But after review, Meta insisted I was still underage.'

The Commission presented a proposal yesterday for Digital Travel Credentials

European Commission - European Commission

Commission proposes an EU Digital Travel application for easier and safer travel

Today, the European Commission adopted two proposals to digitalise passports and identity cards, also called ‘EU Digital Travel application\

With "digitalisation" the border check can be reduced from 30 to 8 seconds. BUT.. to save 22 seconds, people must - Install an eu-LISA app - Scan their passport (NFC) and do an annoying liveliness check - Send their passport data and #biometrics to a central server with all the privacy risks that entail - Manually enter additional travel route info Is that making our travel easier? (NO)

Red Barnet-psykolog: Vi står over for potentielt tilbageskridt i kampen mod deling af seksuelt overgrebsmateriale

Det er simpelthen FORKERT. Det fremgår tydeligt af betragtning 26a, at end-to-end krypterede kommunikationstjenester skal scanne private beskeder før de overføres krypteret til modtageren. Det er client-side scanning, som svækker sikkerheden lige så meget som andre bagdøre i #E2EE. Der er INTET NYT i seneste kompromistekst på dette punkt. #dkpol

The Europol press conference today announcing the takedown of the miniature encrypted communications service Ghost (1000 messages exchanged per day, a fraction of EncroChat), quickly turned into a lobbying exercise for the #EuGoingDark HLG: "[Private companies] must ensure that their platforms are not safe havens for criminals and should provide mechanisms for lawful data access under judicial oversight and in full respect of fundamental rights" (aka #E2EE backdoors)
