As part of its efforts, the bloc has repeatedly introduced its Chat Control legislation, aimed at weakening the encryption that protects messaging services and force providers to provide a client-side backdoor for law enforcement.

Just don't.

Not sure who you're shilling for but just fuck right off with that nonsense

Europe currently is the best place for privacy. It's far from perfect, but it's a safe haven in comparison to any other place on this earth and you're pretending it's the next China. Go away with your disingenuous lying posts

    It didn't pass. Its just, they keep trying to push for it, but thankfully some countries are still shutting it down.

    Politicians, parties and even countries should be penalized for repeatedly bringing it up just to be shut down. It‘s a waste of time and waste of money. Things like that shouldn‘t be voted on for at least another 4 years once shut down. And no, just changing the wording doesn‘t make a proposal unique. A big brother law is still a big brother law.

    Also politicians should just permanently be ineligible as office holders if they bring up crypto war topics again. Like adding backdoors to cryptography "just for the good guys". People that stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the laws of nature just don't deserve the right to be voted into office.

    Started reading the Kademlia paper, then tried writing a minimal realization in a file named "min.tcl", it got big with something like e-news and contact directory, then "clean.tcl", it got messy and grew something like a chat and a buddy list, then the new revision was called "dirty.tcl" and now I'm fixing what turned into horrible mess since it initially worked.

    Not that I'm going to share a terribly messy one 2360 line tcl/tk script.

    Just - how is this even happening, there are plenty of people smarter, there could have been a compelling standard, dozens of usable applications, herds of apologists and widespread usage of something that doesn't take, say, 4 competent people more time and effort than this exercise took me.

    The EU is about totalitarian control. Every EU country, under the predisposition, should submit to the EU as to create a single country under one control. Totalitarianism is the way they unify Europe into a single bloc. The problem for the EU is that it has to deal with nationalism, and the many nation-states. The nation-state is the major stumbling block to EU ambitions. The EU wants to be like the United States of America as a single country. Brexit is part of this failure to subjugate nation-states.
