• Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol
  • PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement’s ability to intercept and monitor communications
  • Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.

    lawful interception

    Idk bout that. Usually you get a warrant for wiretapping and then you pay someone to install it. If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.

    Let’s also acknowledge that if encryption is bad because it cannot be broken, that means encryption is pretty good at what it should do.

    Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.

      I read this the other day… the issue they face is on the warrant side, cross border investigations have a 120 day lead time. So instead of actually integrating police and making sure time sensitive investigations get treated as such… They whine about PET.

      EuroPol seems to be something like the FBI… who operate across all US states. But in the EU the countries are still very separate and require such ridiculous things as proof and due process. And that’s fine… It just needs to be sped up.

    Oh my! Encryption makes it harder to snoop uninvited into things that should not concern them in the first place! Shocking!

    For those who aren’t aware. This is talking about when cell phones roam into other networks, they now encrypt the traffic back to the home provider which means law enforcement struggle to tap it (legally or illegally).

    LMAO, the only way you’re getting my OpenWRT router running FOSS U-Boot is by prying it from my cold, dead hands.

    Good. ‘Lawful’ interception is total nonsense. They’d have a camera up everyone’s ass if they could.

    As it is our TVs bloody listen to us…1984 is here.

    That’s going to be a recurring theme. Law enforcement starts scanning one thing, businesses, criminals and citizens start using something else. They’ll have to forbid everything that’s not open, but by then legal businesses stop using the net because all their secrets get stolen.
