Nel 2025, il 52% delle segnalazioni era legalmente irrilevante. Di conseguenza, 113.000 foto, video e chat private sono state esposte ingiustamente (+14%)—un nuovo record.
Chi viene effettivamente denunciato? Nei casi di "pornografia infantile", il 40% delle indagini ha preso di mira i bambini stessi (età 10-14)! Spesso sono loro a scattare le foto o a condividerle senza pensarci. Solo l'anno scorso, queste denunce dagli USA hanno colpito oltre 8.000 bambini in Germania.
Nei casi di "pornografia giovanile", il 53% delle indagini ha riguardato minori, criminalizzando >12.000 adolescenti. Il BKA rileva: L'esplorazione dell'identità sessuale avviene ora online, coinvolgendo regolarmente la creazione e la condivisione di file intimi di sé stessi o di coetanei (#Sexting).
Nota: la polizia persegue anche le raffigurazioni fittizie (come l'Hentai) e i contenuti generati dall'IA in base a queste leggi.
Nel frattempo, il tasso di risoluzione dei crimini da parte della polizia per la distribuzione online di pornografia illegale è già estremamente alto, raggiungendo l'87,1% nel 2025.L'esperienza dimostra che la #DataRetention obbligatoria non aumenta i tassi di risoluzione dei crimini. Le indagini sotto copertura mirate nelle reti di autori sono ciò che effettivamente cattura gli abusi e salva i bambini, non il #ChatControl indiscriminato su piattaforme commerciali USA non crittografate!
Conclusione: #ChatControl non protegge i bambini; li criminalizza in massa. Più della metà dei rapporti sono falsi allarmi, esponendo decine di migliaia di file e chat privati. Il sistema sta fallendo.

Experience shows that mandatory #DataRetention doesn't increase crime clearance rates. Targeted undercover investigations in perpetrator networks are what actually catch abusers and save kids—not indiscriminate #ChatControl on unencrypted commercial US platforms! 5/6

About a year ago we decided to stop tracking website visitors altogether, and completely remove Matomo Analytics.
During the gradual overhaul of our website, we discovered an unmerged Pull Request that updates our Privacy Policy that reflects this change.

Apple patches iOS flaw that retained deleted notification data
Apple fixed a security flaw in its iOS system that was storing deleted notifications, and released emergency updates on April 22, 2026, to address the issue. The out-of-band fixes, available in iOS and iPadOS updates, ensure that deleted notifications are now properly erased from your device.

Der Referentenentwurf zur IP-Adressspeicherung des Justizministeriums setzt auf Generalverdacht: Drei Monate anlasslose Überwachung für alle!
Dabei gibt es gar keine empirische Notwendigkeit für eine Vorratsdatenspeicherung, denn es geht längst ohne, und sonst gibt es grundrechtsschonende Alternativen.
Veraltete Behördenstrukturen dürfen kein Argument für Massenüberwachung sein.

"Germany’s government is preparing to give its foreign intelligence service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), far broader powers over online surveillance and hacking than it has ever had before.
A draft amendment to the BND Act, circulating by German media, would transform the agency’s reach by authorizing it to break into foreign digital systems, collect and store large portions of internet traffic, and analyze those communications retroactively.
At the core of this plan is Frankfurt’s DE-CIX internet exchange, one of the largest data junctions on the planet.
For thirty years, global traffic has passed through this node, and for just as long, the BND has quietly operated there under government supervision, scanning international data streams for intelligence clues.
Until now, this monitoring has been limited. The agency could capture metadata such as connection records, but not the full content of messages, and any data collected had to be reviewed and filtered quickly.
The proposed legal reform would overturn those restrictions.
The BND would be permitted to copy and retain not only metadata but also entire online conversations, including emails, chats, and other content, for up to six months."

"EU governments are pushing to widen data retention obligations for apps that citizens use every day – and the best VPN apps are among those targeted.
A new internal document dated November 27 (first published by Netzpolitik) provides important insights into the current thinking of the Danish Presidency of the EU Council. It shows that member states largely agree on the need for a new framework on data retention, presenting an important overview of lawmakers main position on the matter.
The topic has been debated since April, when the EU Commission first unveiled "ProtectEU," a strategy aiming to create a roadmap for "lawful and effective access to data for law enforcement." The Commission then presented the Roadmap in June, which outlined an intent to decrypt citizens' private data by 2030.
Crucially, the document reveals that EU governments see metadata – specifically traffic and location history – as the most vital tool for law enforcement.
Most member states argue that simply knowing who owns an account isn't enough. Instead, they want a new legal baseline where companies are forced to log exactly when and where a user was online, as well as the IP addresses they used to connect.
The document notes that member states are aware of the legal hurdles of gathering this data and emphasize that any new system must include robust safeguards and strict proportionality to satisfy the courts.
However, privacy experts and technologists have long warned that such 'safeguards' are not enough, arguing that you cannot weaken encryption or retain this data without fundamentally compromising user security.
Besides virtual private network (VPN) companies, other online services targeted include messaging apps, hosting providers, file sharing services, cloud storage apps, and other over-the-top (OTT) services."

“EU Revives Plan for Year-Long Data Retention Across Digital Services, Including Encrypted Apps … Officials insist they do not intend to compromise encryption or read private messages. What they want is the so-called metadata: who contacted whom, from where, at what time, and through which service.” – https://reclaimthenet.org/eu-revives-plan-for-year-long-data-retention (via @fkamiah17)
“As NSA General Counsel Stewart Baker has said, ‘metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebody’s life. If you have enough metadata, you don’t really need content.’ When I quoted Baker at a recent debate at Johns Hopkins University, my opponent, General Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA and the CIA, called Baker’s comment ‘absolutely correct,’ and raised him one, asserting, ‘We kill people based on metadata.’” – https://cyber-peace.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/We-Kill-People-Based-on-Metadata.pdf

The EU culture you are actually establishing:
- Mass surveillance ( #ChatControl, #dataretention, #omnibus )
- Threatening the access to free information, communication and journalism ( #ChatControl again)
- Society of digital control in the interest of big tech corporations and authoritarian institutions (#digitalidentity, #europol)
- Drowing people in the mediterranean and letting them suffer and die at EU borders (#Frontex)
- Reckless Militarism, authoritarianism, neonationalism and neoliberalism, normalisation of corruption and lobbyism in and by your postdemocratic institution.
Nope, that's definitely no culture or vision worth to fight for. Quite the opposite actually.

@daedalus
And it sounds like it’s not getting any better… with organisations which overcollect but can’t secure data continuing to do the same… That’s depressing. But as you say, if there are no consequences why bother to improve? 😐
In the meantime, the most secure data is that which is not collected. I know it’s preaching to the converted, but for orgs: if you don’t need it, don’t collect it; or don’t continue to hold it. 😐#reconnectingConsequencesToCauses #dataBreach #surveillance #dataCollection #dataRetention
