You are doing something very important here. Many people forget that the guys running the show at the NSA are, in all probability, at least as savvy as any one of us. For this reason, it is always a good starting point to ask oneself "

Not for long. As a continental European, I'd be quite surprised if the UK voted to stay in the EU in the 2017 referendum. There is just so much hatred for the EU coming out of the UK that by now, its leaving almost seems a forgone conc

If I, as a consumer from continental Europe, can't be subject to what is essentially a rippoff by UK online shops any more, then it is a win. It even makes it easier for UK online shops to be compliant with consumer protection laws wit

Oy. That was legal? It seems that I have been cross-border shopping a bit too carelessly. I know that the English Newspapers will manage to put an anti-EU spin on this, but cross-border e-commerce has to become easier. From regulation to sh

Uhm. Just because you didn't believe it doesn't mean that it wasn't known. The CCC was talking about this stuff years ago, some of it conjecture, some of it information from old sources/anonymous sources and the like. No

In all fairness, people like me who are not security researchers cannot assess whether or not such a change is problematic. The only reasonable thing we can do is to trust the audit. Post-audit changes, from a pracitcal point of view, mean

I'm in no way defending Karel De Gucht, believe me. The situation you describe raises some questions, though. If he is this unpopular and disliked in Belgium, how on earth did he manage to become Belgium's representative in the Co

I see no reason to distrust the whole of the EU just because they don't reject Karel De Gucht. After all, if Belgium stands behind him, the EU can't do much. If that isn't satisfying for you, I recommend distrusting the EU Co

If a treaty of this extent is negotiated in secret and then made public for ratification it _can_ _only_ _fail_ to be accepted. (At least if the democratically elected EU parliament is involved in the acceptance process) This thing changes

As a German, I must disagree. It might seem that the situation with the German intelligence services is as bad as, for instance in France, but on closer observation, this is not true. There are multiple reasons: 1. Our intelligence agencies
