The official Walloon Wallangues platform for learning different languages is being discontinued, meaning a great tool funded by taxes is being lost forever. This is why @fsfe.org's Public Money, Public Code campaign is so important. Release the source code! www.wallangues.be #belgium #wallonia #foss

What happened today? Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox. What happens next? The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in. What now? We raise our voices. Louder.

@vrtnws.be Ik vrees dat mr. Lassoen's kennis van cryptografie en moderne security outdated is.

"Encryptie kraken" is niet meer van deze tijd, zeker niet voor protocols die zo high-profile zijn als signal.
Staatsgeheimen op Signal: waarom gebruiken toppolitici in VS de berichtenapp? En hoe (on)veilig is dat?
