Patrick Breyer, a staunch defender of digital rights, laments the Pirate Party’s exit from the EU Parliament as a blow to online privacy.
There are more parties who defend internet privacy then just the pirate party. Won’t matter much tho with the current rightwing majority.
Is the incoming majority particularly anti-piracy? I thought they were more fixated on leaving the EU, gutting the “woke” public sector, and rounding up all the immigrants for deportation.
Just to make things clear, the pirate party isn’t directly related to piracy. There are ongoing efforts to render end-to-end encryption illegal in Europe as we speak. Dark times are coming
There are ongoing efforts to render end-to-end encryption illegal in Europe as we speak.
I can’t imagine how you stop all end to end encryption across a continent while you’re exiting the continent-wide governing body.
Who’s exiting? They will just ban any non-compliant messaging app
They whom? Is every country going to have it’s own national firewall, complete with highly sophisticated SMS-only encryption detecting service?
