- Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol
- PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement’s ability to intercept and monitor communications
- Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.
Warning: non-transparent walls, window blinds and door locks prevent lawful interception and surveillance - how are the authorities supposed to know you’re not doing something naughty in there?
Clothing hides weapons! So do fat folds. Kill all the fat people and go naked for a crime free world in the new authoritarian bridge between Nazis and Stalinists for a wonderful Europe.
There are places a skinny naked person can hide things. What do we do about that?
Mandatory random cavity searches.
It’s the only way to keep society safe!
Kill them all. If your butt cheeks touch in the middle you get the antisemitic/Palestinian treatment. Would you like to die by rocket, bomb, on the hood of a car, as a joke, career suicide, anonymous mass grave, student failure with no future, self emulation, militant untrained police, starvation, Kremlin backed Right faction first world extremist regime mob of fucktards, or randomly one of the above? Heil Europe!

Humans are actually supposed to do naughty things. Otherwise they’d be worried about demography
For those who aren’t aware. This is talking about when cell phones roam into other networks, they now encrypt the traffic back to the home provider which means law enforcement struggle to tap it (legally or illegally).
PET is privacy enhancing technologies
AWWWWW, POOR FASCISTS CAN’T HACK OUR DEVICES
Because you know that’s what it’s really about, not “lawful interception”. Fuck them.
I don’t feel that intercepting traffic should ever be considered lawful.
If you need evidence, get a warrant, and take the equipment.
Many people sincerely believe rules are a big thing and such organizations don’t violate those regularly. Even in the EU. Even when nobody will know.
That’s how they used to do it, get a warrant, and wiretap landlines.
Except even back then the FBI spied on whoever they wanted, like Martin Luther King and the civil rights organizers. Always has been this way
Good
I fixed the bulleted.

Hold on while I dig out the world’s smallest violin for them.
LMAO, the only way you’re getting my OpenWRT router running FOSS U-Boot is by prying it from my cold, dead hands.
…and even then, good luck! Because I will have glued it to my cold, dead hands.

Cool let’s add a backdoor to all routers and gateways, no way it would be exploited by our enemies
Look at the phrasing too, they say it like they have the right to see our information and we’re (the citizens) breaking that untold social safety contract.
Transparency should go both ways, no encryption for the people, no encryption for the government z it’s only fair.
I think the ideal government has to be as transparent as possible so that the common people can control their government effectively.
Yes but what about the bribes?
🌚
Everyone asking for/demanding this IS the enemy.
Or exploited by the government
Yeah. He said “our enemies”. We’re saying the same thing.
Lol. Uh, good?
Came here to pose exactly this. While I support proper and ethical law enforcement, the Snowden leak clearly showed just how unethical my own government is willing to be to enforce laws. So whatever tools I have at my disposal to prevent unlawful search and seizure, I will use them.
lawful interception
Idk bout that. Usually you get a warrant for wiretapping and then you pay someone to install it. If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.
Let’s also acknowledge that if encryption is bad because it cannot be broken, that means encryption is pretty good at what it should do.
Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.
Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.
Uhhh ransomware?
Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.
Cracking Enigma was something that needed to been done.
Kinda drives home another point too. Breaking someone else’s encryption is something you do to enemies. If you’re trying to break my encryption communication or installing a backdoor, you’re an enemy, simple as that.
My eternal thanks to FOSS, and open encryption standards.
Alright I’ll give you that
If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.
They’ve been trying to change that law multiple times for over a decade.
Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.
DeCSS.
I read this the other day… the issue they face is on the warrant side, cross border investigations have a 120 day lead time. So instead of actually integrating police and making sure time sensitive investigations get treated as such… They whine about PET.
EuroPol seems to be something like the FBI… who operate across all US states. But in the EU the countries are still very separate and require such ridiculous things as proof and due process. And that’s fine… It just needs to be sped up.
Europol is merely a clearing house, standards process and coordinating agency for how national police forces work together across the EU states. It has very, very little power. Unfortunately.
based on this article, i would say it’s fortunate that they have very little power
You’re assuming the national services are better, I suppose. In my experience it’s been the EU who has struck a better balance between privacy and investigative powers than the crap they’re pushing for nationally.
Good! The government has no business in peoples’ homes.
Good. Fk off governments.
I get that that’s bad and that shouldn’t be.
But there just have been too many cases of unlawful interception (NSA and Criminal). So I personally don’t think we should move back away from encryption
