- 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.
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.
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!
I think they meant inside
how are the authorities supposed to know you’re not doing something naughty in there?
Humans are actually supposed to do naughty things. Otherwise they’d be worried about demography
One of these guys went on to be a very wholesome beloved actor.
And the other…I assume is still alive.
The other one is Keanu something. He was in a terrible film about a man falling down some stairs, I think.
Good!
Cool let’s add a backdoor to all routers and gateways, no way it would be exploited by our enemies
More backdoors?
This time deliberate!
Or exploited by the government

Yeah. He said “our enemies”. We’re saying the same thing.
I think post above may have that one covered off already
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.
Oh no… Anyway
It’s almost as if police need to get a warrant to wiretap people, and can’t just do illegal wiretaps on unencrypted data. I can see why the EU may want to consider implementing processes for cross-border wiretaps, though.
Even if law enforcement can get a warrant, unless there’s a backdoor in the encryption then the data stays private. That’s the whole point of encryption.
The fundamental problem is law enforcement feeling entitled to snoop on private communications with a warrant vs the inherent security flaw with making a backdoor in encrypted communications. The backdoor will eventually get exploited, either by reverse engineering/tinkering or someone leaking keys, and then encryption becomes useless. The only way encryption works is if the data can only be decrypted by one key.
Anyone else remember when TSA published a picture of the master key set for TSA approved luggage locks and people had modeled and printed replicas within hours?
That’s also true. Wiretapping internet communications was more valuable pre-2010s when things weren’t encrypted. It is good that things are encrypted now. There’s still some metadata that can be pulled now from ISPs, such as IP addresses, SNI, and unencrypted DNS, but cops are better off subpoenaing Facebook and Google than trying to wiretap.
AWWWWW, POOR FASCISTS CAN’T HACK OUR DEVICES
Because you know that’s what it’s really about, not “lawful interception”. Fuck them.
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
I don’t feel that intercepting traffic should ever be considered lawful.
If you need evidence, get a warrant, and take the equipment.
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
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.
Good! The government has no business in peoples’ homes.
Hold on while I dig out the world’s smallest violin for them.
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

Good. Fk off governments.
