Par chez nous ils testent l'autoroute "à flux libre". C'est un joli mot pour "encore plus fliquée et faut internet et une carte bancaire pour payer".
Vous avez donc 3 choix :
- Ne pas créer de compte et devoir penser à chaque trajet à payer sous 72h, sinon vous prenez une prune (qui n'existait pas avant, hein, puisque c'était quasiment impossible de passer sans payer)
- Créer un compte pour recevoir un mail à chaque passage de véhicule déclaré et payer en ligne ou...
- ...Rentrer votre carte bancaire pour payer automatiquement.

Mes critiques :
- Si quelqu'un usurpe vos plaques, dans le 3e cas vous payez pour l'usurpateur.
- Vous pouvez créer un compte et créer une alerte pour n'importe quel véhicule. Envie de surveiller les déplacements de votre voisin ? Ou de votre ex femme ? C'est open bar !

Vivement que cette "expérimentation" soit généralisée... 🙄🤬

My thoughts on EU Chat Control

I just don't think we are ready for what's coming, most people will be caught off guard when the real consequences of losing our privacy come: democracy and other rights will be affected in the near future, and when people realize this it will be too late (the "I've got nothing to hide" crowd is what I am referring to).

Insane timeline that we live in, I don't see a future where we get to maintain end-to-end encrypted communications unless we develop some sort of peer to peer mesh network that no single entity has control over (that is very complicated to make).

Centralized messaging apps (Signal included) while they can be privacy respecting, they are not immune to censorship or government bans.

And privacy is important, it is a fundamental right that we all should have, and guess what, you know who's not allowing their messages to be read and unencrypted? The people making this law!, politicians and other government officials are excluded from the message scanning... They get privacy!!

To add insult to injury, because the network effect is too strong (as in people don't like changing apps) we will be stuck with unsafe unencrypted messaging, even if an alternative emerges that is decentralized and encrypted somehow.

For now I see no solution for the general population, of course actual end-to-end encrypted chats will not go away, but they will be probably be made illegal somehow, criminals will definitely not care about any of this, so the law is pointless, it just is an excuse for the increasing government overreach on the EU.

Bijna een jaar geleden gaf @helma een presentatie over 'Chat Control' met de stand van zaken op dat moment @nluug najaarsconferentie:

Helaas is het Chat Controle voorstel net een zombie 🧟 & weer opgestaan. Ik ben me weer aan t inlezen via:

Is this a stupid question? It's been the whole point for twenty-something years. And they still manage to make it worse.

Crime app Citizen is now using AI to auto-generate alerts with no human review. Result: false info, license plates, even names published to 10M users. Errors risk safety and privacy, but “more dots on the map” won out over accuracy.

As is the case with every city hosting an international sporting event, Mexico City has now announced a shiny new mass surveillance project in time for next year's World Cup: "Ojos que te cuidan," "Eyes that care for you."

Just in case the name itself weren't panoptic enough, the coverage, the #CCTV photos!!!! by this sports tabloid are… is it in bad taste to say, chef's kiss*?
