🚨 The EU's controversial "Chat Control" proposal is back.

EU governments are reportedly trying to revive rules that could allow private messages to be scanned for child sexual abuse material, reigniting the debate over encryption, privacy, and mass surveillance. The proposal remains highly controversial and has not become law.

🚨 The EU's #ChatControl proposal is back.

This isn't just another privacy debate.

The proposal could affect:
🔹 End-to-end encryption
🔹 Private messaging
🔹 Client-side scanning
🔹 Age verification
🔹 Digital privacy across Europe

Supporters say it's about protecting children from CSAM. Critics argue it could create a precedent for scanning everyone's private communications before they're encrypted.

I spent hours researching the legislation, the timeline, the technical implications, and what actually happens next.

On the Fediverse, it is common to come across discourse on the critical importance of “privacy” for “democracy” and for “human rights”. How the liberal notion of privacy arose is rarely, if ever, interrogated. The liberal advocates of privacy do not even register the dialectic of privacy and surveillance in a capitalist system.

Given this context, I think the following passages from the second edition of Christian Fuchs’s book, “Social Media: A Critical Introduction”, are worth sharing.

From page 187:

The problem of secret bank accounts/transactions and the intransparency of richness and company profits is not only that financial privacy can support tax evasion, black money and money laundering, but also that it hides wealth gaps. Financial privacy reflects the classical liberal account of privacy. So, for example, John Stuart Mill formulated a right of the propertied class to economic privacy as “the owner’s privacy against invasion” (Mill 1965, 232). Economic privacy (the right to keep information about income, profits or bank transactions secret) protects the rich, companies and the wealthy. The anonymity of wealth, high incomes and profits makes income and wealth gaps between the rich and the poor invisible and thereby ideologically helps legitimizing and upholding these gaps. It can therefore be considered an ideological mechanism that helps to reproduce and deepen inequality.

From page 189:

Capitalism is grounded in the idea that the private sphere should be separated from the public sphere and should not be accessible by the public, and that therefore autonomy and anonymity of the individual are needed in the private sphere. The rise of the idea of privacy in modern society is connected to the rise of the central ideal of the freedom of private ownership. Private ownership is the idea that humans have the right to as much wealth as they want, as long as it is inherited or acquired through individual achievements. There is an antagonism between private ownership and social equity in modern society. Many contemporary societies treat how much and what exactly a person owns as an aspect of privacy. Keeping ownership structures secret is a precautionary measure against the public questioning of or the political and individual attack against private ownership.

Capitalism requires anonymity and privacy in order to function. But full privacy is also not possible in modern society because strangers enter social relations that require trust or enable exchange. Building trust requires knowing certain data about other persons, especially in capitalist market relations. It is therefore checked with the help of surveillance procedures whether or not a stranger can be trusted. This means that companies try to find out as much as possible about job applicants, workers, consumers and competitors and that various forms of monitoring and espionage are common means for doing so. Corporations have the aim of accumulating ever more capital. That is why they have an interest in knowing as much as possible about their workers (in order to control them) and the interests, tastes and behaviours of their customers. This results in the surveillance of workers/employees and consumers.

The ideals of modernity (such as the freedom of ownership) also produce phenomena such as income and wealth inequality, poverty, unemployment, precarious living and working conditions, crime and so on. The establishment of trust, socio-economic differences and corporate interests are three qualities of modernity that necessitate surveillance. Therefore, on the one hand modernity advances the ideal of a right to privacy, but on the other hand it must continuously advance surveillance that threatens to undermine privacy rights. An antagonism between privacy ideals and surveillance is therefore constitutive of capitalism.

Law enforcement agencies do not need to jeopardize the digital safety of billions of users to investigate crime effectively.

Breaking #encryption introduces systemic vulnerabilities that criminals and hostile states will exploit, making the Internet less safe for everyone.

RE: https://ieji.de/@GalacticGoddess/116805746344900569

Update: It also looks like members of the Senate are trying to put together their own packages as well:

-One package would bundle Senate KOSA, the NO FAKES Act, and the App Store Accountability Act together in a compromise with big tech regarding GenAI regulation

-Another is Hawley and Durbin trying to slip the DEFIANCE Act and STOP CSAM Act into a must pass bill (NDAA). They've tried this several times before but failed. Still it has a possibility of succeeding.

Call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!

RED ALERT! The KIDS Act (H.R.7757) is being teed up for a vote in the House next week! This bill is an omnibus style package which includes horrible bills like the Kids Online Safety Act and the SCREEN Act! Call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!

Reading the latest version of the bill and it seems like House is sticking with their version of KOSA. This will set up a showdown between the House and the Senate as both chambers have dug in their heels regarding their version of KOSA. I doubt either chamber will fully get their way.

LastPass breached again. Today. Via a third-party supplier.

This is not a one-off. It’s the architecture. Every centralized service, password manager, messenger, or platform is a target because it holds data worth stealing.

SecurityWeek’s headline today: “Attackers are no longer breaking in ; they’re logging in.”

No account means nothing to log into.

Zerion 2.0.5 is live on Google Play.

A serverless messenger has a hard problem: no server holds your account, so how do you move to a new phone?

Zerion's answer: back up your whole account to an encrypted file (Argon2id + AES-256-GCM), or pass it straight to your new phone over Tor with a safety-number check. Only you ever hold the key.

No phone number. No metadata. Post-quantum encryption on every message, all over Tor.

Following user outcry, #AMD reinstates #memory #encryption in consumer CPUs

Consumer AMD CPUs will once again offer encryption protections against physical attacks after facing user backlash for silently removing the feature.

As Ars reported last week, AMD stripped the protection, known as #TSME , from consumer #Ryzen processors. Short for Transparent Secure Memory Encryption, TSME encrypts the entire contents stored in memory, making the data useless to adversaries performing cold boot attacks and similar intrusions requiring physical access.

" Governments have tried to use export controls to limit the proliferation of what they see as dangerous cyber technology for decades, but their track record has been middling at best.

The U.S. government was behind what is perhaps history’s most spectacular failure of this approach in the early to mid-1990s. At the time, computer scientists were developing encryption technologies to secure data as it traveled over the internet. One of those encryption products was called Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP, a popular software that could encrypt data and make it virtually impossible to unscramble even if intercepted as it traveled to its intended recipient over the internet.

The U.S. government initially saw PGP as a dangerous weapon, fearing it would prevent its intelligence agencies from snooping on emails as they crossed their wires. To stop the distribution of PGP, the U.S. Customs Service opened a criminal investigation against PGP’s creator Phil Zimmermann for allegedly violating arms export controls. He fought back by publishing PGP’s source code as a printed book, igniting what is known today as the “Crypto Wars.”

Zimmermann later won a key battle when the investigation was closed, paving the way for crucial end-to-end encryption algorithms such as the one used by billions of Signal and WhatsApp users."
