EU vs E2E: Überwachung geplant

EU-Kommission: Mit Hashabgleich und TPM gegen Ende-zu-EndeVerschlüsselung – Experten zeigen im Auftrag der EU-Kommission Ansätze auf, um Material zu sexuellem Kindesmissbrauch in durchgängig verschlüsselter Kommunikation aufzudecken. … Das Prüfsummen- und Abgleichverfahren sollte laut den Experten daher schon auf dem Endgerät des Absenders greifen, bevor die Kommunikation kryptographisch abgeschirmt wird. … Zuerst solle die ‚freiwillige‘ Rasterung aller Nachrichten durchgedrückt werden, kommentiert der EU-Abgeordnete Patrick Breyer. Nächstes Jahr wolle die Kommission dann ‚die Durchleuchtung verpflichtend machen‘. Um dies zu stoppen, sei eine ’neue #Zensursula-Kampagne‘ nötig. Kritiker geben ferner zu bedenken, dass eine für den Bereich Kindesmissbrauch eingeführte Lösung leicht etwa auf den Kampf gegen Urheberrechtsverletzungen oder missliebige Propaganda erweiterbar sei.“

Mastercard und Kryptowährungen
