Crucially, the document reveals that EU governments see metadata – specifically traffic and location history – as the most vital tool for law enforcement.
Ah, yes. Store data at the risk of it being hacked or used by companies in order to protect the people from themselves.
The paragraph you quoted says he was Australian.
They will be pardoned.
We have won, but at what cost…
Article belongs to the trash
Why do you think so?
The use is explicitly optional for EU citizens or third-country nationals. The physical travel document must still be carried when crossing the border.
(bold added)
They always present it as optional, and then create a whole infrastructure around it that expects and forces you to have it.
Ban anything digital. Back to the paper age.
EU needs to stop listening to the giant companies and focus on the clean tech they are always delaying.
Thanks for sharing the article. It’s concerning how it, and other articles from the same website, present opinions as facts while claiming to be journalism. It’s important to critically evaluate sources like that.
At least the weather is very cool and stable in underground prepper bunkers.
I keep seeing people celebrating the victory without commenting the rest. It was a good victory indeed, but it is just the beginning. The party lost 8 seats relative to 2021 and Russia will keep trying to corrupt, sabotage, attack the country.
ELI15 Why are car companies in Europe so stuck with cars other than eletric? Shouldn’t eletric have better margins and include State/European incentives? And it is also cheaper in the long run for the consumer.

Well, yeah. They have no way to enforce this on non-commercial forms of communication, like many open source projects. So the outcome will be that they will have an initial result of catching a lot of small criminals, but all real dangerous criminals will use anything else and continue business as usual. As a collateral damage everyone else will be less private and secure, as most people will not bother to switch to alternatives.
It is good to see that countries are at least trying to keep up apearances. However, the problem is still there: money decides whether targets are met or not.
This graph is terrible for proving your point. Which browsers are … ?
This graphs says nothing of that.

Maybe the review is wrong. Maybe we should wait a year and see how the situation is again. /s
The article seems to focus on the fact that it’s hard to do “content moderation well at scale”. Wouldn’t such legislation discourage creation and growth of giant social media “platforms”, giving more space for more local, smaller communities?
We need to raise awareness because most people do not even know what is on the table. I have seen many reactions to Australia ban on social media and most people show support for it without considering the catch of ‘how do you implement this?’
