After Sunday‘s European elections, the EU is planning to reintroduce indiscriminate communications data retention without suspicion and force manufacturers to allow law enforcement access to digital devices such as smartphones and cars.

Specifically, according to the 42-point surveillance plan, manufacturers are to be legally obliged to make digital devices such as smartphones, smart homes, IoT devices, and cars monitorable at all times (“access by design”). Messenger services that were previously securely encrypted are to be forced to allow for interception.

The secure encryption of metadata and subscriber data is to be prohibited. Where requested by the police, GPS location tracking should be activated by service providers (“tracking switch”).

The EU Commission has already contributed specific proposals to the surveillance plan, according to two presentations obtained by the Pirates.

Make sure to vote in the upcoming elections!

About UvdL - one can also google about her and Azerbaijan, her and Russia, her and defense ministry.

Censorship is consistent with her other undertakings, but is not morally the worst of them.

I'd argue the Azerbaijan part is more notable and disgusting.

But then that's an extension of the same. There's a faction in Edro strongly intermingled with Azerbaijan, and it seems to be gaining power over time.
