We need actual workable ideas, not empty statements. It is frustrating that this fight doesn't end. If you have real suggestions, I'd like to hear them.
- jhgb 5y agoWell I'm not aware of any such efforts in my country. I thought the comment above about "the current administration" was about Belgium.
- scrollaway 5y agoWhich country is that? You probably haven't dug deep. If you live anywhere in north america, the EEA, china, russia, india or australia, then I'm aware of such efforts and I don't exactly follow this closely. I just live in Belgium...
- jhgb 5y agoI'm Czech. I'm really not aware of any "efforts to ban encryption", and given our history with the StB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StB), local population really wouldn't react well to that. I just don't see any possible parliament composition willing to pass a law along any such lines.
- scrollaway 5y agoYou're affected by EU-wide encryption-related laws and discussions. The EU is less insane than the US on that front, but issues like this still appear once in a while, and have to regularly be defeated…
- jhgb 5y agoAs I said, the chances of anything like this being adopted on a national level are virtually zero. Good luck to any such directive coming from Brussels. Hell, I wonder if this couldn't trigger yet another constitutional amendment like the last one if it comes to that.
