I am looking for Members of Green Parties in EU member states (EGP) to connect about topics like #Chatcontrol#DataRetention#Encryption and all that’s related to these topics in regard to privacy.
We can only stop this if we work together.
So, anyone from Europe who wants to join a small group of Greens from Germany who try to stop all this?
🆕 blog! “It is 1939 and you want to use public-key cryptography”
Imagine, just for a moment, that a mathematical breakthrough had occurred on the eve of the second World War. Perhaps Turing or Rejewski or Driscoll realised that prime number theory held the key to unbreakable encryption. This blog post attempts to answer the question "could public-key …

No-AI and solid end-to-end encryption is the new tech hype.
If you don't invest heavily in solid end-to-end encryption, privacy-protective and No-AI features, you will be left behind. People might even laugh at you.
Tell everyone.
I'm sure you know about encryption, but what about steganography?
Steganography is like encryption's subversive little sister. Encryption announces up front, "I have a secret! I bet you can't get to it!" Steganography's jacket has the secret emblazoned on it in a way that only those "in the know" will recognize, as she looks you in the eye and says, "What secret? What are you talking about?"
Steganography is the people's encryption. Instead of relying on fancy, hard math problems to keep a secret, it works by hiding something in plain sight and convincing you there's nothing to even look for. It's the sort of thing two friends can cook up together in an afternoon to pass secret messages and foil the man. The more special purpose and obscure, the better.
And yes, you can use steganography and encryption together.

“The EU initiative Going Dark has now been launched by the EU Commission. They call it ProtectEU. It’s a rebranding of Chat Control. New name. Same old propaganda.”.
Europe plans to set up for 2030 mass surveillance. The bigots, the imbeciles and the fascists have infiltrated the institutions. They're no better than the rest of the freaks. Time to get rid of the nomenklatura.

🇪🇺 The EU wants to decrypt your private data by 2030 • Techradar
｢ The EU Commission presented a Roadmap on how it intends to ensure that law enforcement has effective and lawful access to citizens' data
Politicians seek to establish a precedent for the decryption of private data
The Roadmap is part of the ProtectEU strategy, first unveiled in April 2025 ｣

｢ Specifically, organized crime members in Catalonia use GrapheneOS, a privacy and security-focused operating system that keeps your data out of Google’s reach. Criminals and gang members in Spain prefer using GrapheneOS on Pixel phones, and there’s a good reason for it. GrapheneOS implements full disk and metadata encryption, a security feature exploited by miscreants. But it works best on Pixels ｣

Magical backdoor only for "the good guys" is a complete fantasy 🔑✨
Let's say the strategy is akin to creating a MagicalKey that unlocks every door (a magical key because thinking encryption backdoors would only be used by "the good guys" is a great example of magical thinking).
Imagine only 1000 police officers have MagicalKeys.
Overtime, let's say only 1% of the police officers accidentally lose their MagicalKey. Now 10 MagicalKeys are lost in the wild and could be used by anyone else, for any purposes, including crime.
Then, let's say only 0.1% of police officers get corrupted by a crime gang. That's just one right? This corrupted "good guy" lets the gang create a double of the MagicalKey. Which crime gang wouldn't want a key that can magically open any door?
Now, the gang creates doubles of the MagicalKey they have. They use it subtly at first to avoid detection. They make sure they never leave traces behind, so victims have no idea their door got unlocked.
During this time, they steal your data, they sell it, they use it to impersonate you, they use it to harm you and your loved ones.
Then, another criminal figures out on their own how to emulate a MagicalKey without even having access to one.
The criminal creates a reproducible mold for this Emulated-MagicalKey and sells it to other criminals on the criminal market. Now, the MagicalKey™️ is available to any criminals looking for it.
Restrictions on the backdoor are off. Your personal data is up for grabs.
This is what is going to happen if backdoors are implemented in end-to-end encryption. But don't worry they say, "it's only for the good guys!".
At least, the criminals' data will also be up for grabs, right?
Nope! The criminals knew about this, so they just started using different channels that weren't impacted.
Criminals will have their privacy intact, they don't care about using illegal tools, but your legal privacy protections will be gone.
Backdoored end-to-end encryption isn't end-to-end anymore, it's just open-ended encryption. This offers pretty much no protection at all.

Time to fight, mobilise everybody you know, to stop the creation of backdoors in E2E encryption.
