⚖️ When crime crosses borders, Eurojust makes sure justice can follow.

Strengthening Eurojust means stronger judicial cooperation across jurisdictions – closing the gaps criminals exploit and helping bring complex cross-border cases to justice.

Imagine this…

You send a private message to a friend. Just something personal.
But before it reaches them, it gets automatically scanned. Not because you did anything wrong, but because everyone is being checked.

That’s the direction proposals like #Chatcontrol and #ProtectEU are heading.

Privacy feels normal… until it’s gone.

What do you think about this new legislation?

Important point reiterated by @marcel_kolaja at #FOSDEM about the #ProtectEU #GoingDark attacks on encryption:

"There is no 'technical lawful access to end-to-end encrypted communication without breaking privacy and security. Period!"
#ClientSideScanning #ChatControl

"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."

I believe Europeans need to worry more about Chat Control / ProtectEU.

It is absolutely dystopian & can not be allowed to be implemented!

After all, it can't be any good if the politicians want to be exempt from it ;)
