    I’m so sick of being stressed about the same thing over and over again. There needs to be a large scale investigation on the people that keeps trying to push this. I’m shocked there isn’t a constant media outrage to match these attacks. And I don’t hear anybody talking of codifying encryption integrity neither. It’s always just privacy experts discovering such attacks at the last minute seemingly by chance and trying to rally people against it in time. Does nobody in positions of power who care to stop these?

      The media is generally owned by very wealthy people and, as a result, reports in ways that benefit the rich and powerful. Centralization of media is very bad for democracy.

      Media targets the average citizen. Average citizens won’t easily understand the ramifications, so the media writes on clickable stories instead.

        Media could just oversimplify it: „the EU wants to know what porn you watch“, „this law allows your country to grab all your passwords“.

    New legislative articles, introduced in recent closed-door meetings and not yet public, envision that all web browsers distributed in Europe will be required to trust the certificate authorities and cryptographic keys selected by EU governments.

    Should be pretty easy to tell these government bodies to go fuck themselves and only host in countries that aren’t bound by the stupid law.

    FOSS can and will save us from this bullshit by just not shipping with these clearly compromised cert authorities.
