Endward23 , to Privacy in National Court orders blocking of Telegram in Spain

That are good reasons.

Endward23 , to Privacy in EU moving towards total monetary surveillance and banning all anonymous payments

But fighting corruption is not a goal I'm ready to pay any prize for.

Endward23 , to Privacy in National Court orders blocking of Telegram in Spain

I’m conflicted: on one hand, fuck telegram

Why this?

Endward23 , to Privacy in National Court orders blocking of Telegram in Spain

So much for free markets, democracy and freedom of speech.

I don't know whether Spain cares a lot about "free market" at the moment.

Even if I get your point and would even make a similiar point in a privat conversation, there is still a problem. The problem, if and how the Freedom of Speech implies that you can use a certain service you choice. If this implication were true, would it not mean that the provider of the named service has a duty to provide you a access, too?

Yes, they blocked it because of copyright infringement but let’s face it, piracy should be viewed as a market option for people to get their content,

There are messenger out there, which are more privacy as Telegram. Eg. Signal, Threemea, mostly services based on XMPP and Matrix.

Endward23 , to Privacy in European Court of Human Rights Confirms: Weakening Encryption Violates Fundamental Rights

I understand your point.
Yes, its nothing new. We have seen limitetion of the freedom of expression in different times and ages.

If you believe my statement to be implausible without video evidence

Sorry, I missed it. I thought you speak about some correspondence between a company and authorities.

Nebenbei, dass die Regierung diese Anschauung vertritt glaube ich dir gern.
Darüber müsste man eigentlich einen längeren Text schreiben, aber den liest am Ende eh niemand.

i’d like to invite you to meet our former minister of defence in the current government, Lambrecht, who
resigned after referring to the war in Ukraine as an opportunity to have met many nice people in
a social media video.

I remember that part a bit different.
The speech or address was poorly orated but, as far as I remember, his was a usual rhetorical technice to bring something positive after a negative part. The speech as a whole was a kind of summary of the year.

Endward23 , to Privacy in European Court of Human Rights Confirms: Weakening Encryption Violates Fundamental Rights

Same with freedom.

What about freedom?

Endward23 , to Privacy in European Court of Human Rights Confirms: Weakening Encryption Violates Fundamental Rights

After all we are not like Russia, China or Saudi Arabia, so those people have nothing to fear…

Oh sure. Your anecode is a very impressive symbol for the state of some discussions here.
Maybe, even a bit too good to be strict true.

Could I ask, where and how do you communicate with the German gouverment?

Endward23 , to Privacy in European Court of Human Rights Confirms: Weakening Encryption Violates Fundamental Rights

I'm a bit pessimistic about that point.
It seems that the main reason why the Internet was less regulated than, lets say, the TV market was the lack of awareness of the old authorities and policymakers.
At the latest with the victory of Donald Trump, things have changed.
Now the ruling class is beginning to believe in the world-changing power of the flow of (mis)information on the Internet.

Its important to note that it doesn't matter how you think about this changes in terms of ethics or politics.
The mayor event was the change of mind in regards to the internet as such. Before, the internet was seen as something new, yet not understond and/or a place were young people does childish pranks.
The innocence is over, at least in their eyes.Unimportant is the question whether you believe the the world-changing power of the internet yourself. Maybe, the idea is even false and the internet isn't that important. But you have the regulation of it on the political agenda. It takes years to come to a better knowleade. Sometimes, even ages.

I wonder how long this ruling will hold if the EU commision comes around with their own chat control.
Before somebody write it: I know that the EU and the Human Rights Court are different institution and doesn't have much to do with each another.

The Russian state has already left the European agreement, which was the frame in which the court works.

At least, it should be interesting to check the judgment out. Some aspects are really interesting. As it seems, the european court may development a ruling like Bernstein v. United States.
That could be interesting since the european continent lackes such a regulation as far as I know.

Endward23 , to Privacy in u mad, state?

“I do this for good reasons, trust me” is not a valid argument.

Yes.
The problem is, when one country has had a intelligence agency and the other has not, the one with the agency has a advantage. At least, under the same conditions.

I see the tension between a republican (res publica, "thing of the public") State and the existence of such secrets.
The question is if a state without this could exist under the current circumstances. There are a lot room for doubts here, I fear.

Endward23 , to Privacy in u mad, state?

Not all of us lived in America.

Endward23 , to Privacy in u mad, state?

I never say that. Thats a straw man-argument.

Endward23 , to Privacy in u mad, state?

Sorry, but the cases are too different.
The secrets of the government serve a completely different purpose than those of the citizens.

Endward23 OP , to Privacy in What happen to The Remailer

Thank you for your long answer. Even if it doesn't contain the answer I looking for.

nd even if your mixmaster or tor traffic is really anonymized (which is dubious), the fact you are using such services at all probably flags you for attention.

I think so, too.
But in my imagination, one who uses tor or a remailer is just a short flash on the radar. If it doesn't follow more, they would not investigate further.
Since 90% or so of all tor users doesn't do anything bad. Even agencies doesn't like wasting of time and resources.

If you just want to exchange email with
your friend when you are both on the down low,
you might be best off just both enrolling gmail accounts.

With Google, I think, it will nearly 100% sure that it is tracked somehow.
If both sides have no problem with this, its fine.

Plus, a lot of attention in the crypto nerd world shifted over to things like bitcoin.

Never considered this angle.
Thanks for this.

I have heard there was a recent development
in single server PIR (private
information retrieval).

I remember, I have read, over 5 years ago, a PDF-File from a German university about this.
It was a so called "blinded read"-method.

I have a vagly idea how this can work but I lack the mathematical knowleade to explain it further.
