I wonder how this meshes with GDPR as this seems like a huge violation of it. Law enforcement being able to dig into messages with a warrant is one thing, but delegating responsibilities to platforms to look for crime is quite another.
I find it interesting that "derogation" (my new word for the day) means both: * the act of officially stating that a law or rule no longer needs to be obeyed, and * the act of talking about or treating someone in a way that shows you do not respect him, her, or it, according to [0]. If the shoe fits, I guess? --- [0]: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/derog...
> special permission not to obey a rule, law, etc.:
Something I'm wondering is how this will affect Europe's ability to attract and retain top tier talent. Europe already seems to be losing to the US. Will this accelerate this brain drain or slow it? [0] [0] https://spectrum.ieee.org/at-work/tech-careers/the-global-br...
Warning - this is a work of fiction, or satire. Mods - perhaps you want to adjust the title.

2. it would probably be compatible with GDPR anyway. GDPR article 6, paragraph 1: "Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies [...] (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject"
Maybe brexit has it right - Europe isn't a good place to be a member of.
Of course that's not how they portray it, but doublespeak has been strong around Brexit and still is.
It never made much sense to Brexit if you were in the UK and favoured personal, family or human rights. Including rights like privacy and a protected private life, and freedom to make open source software (EU is against software patents, UK is not).
Do they want everyone to switch en masse to end-to-end encrypted communications? Because this is how you encourage that.

Sadly I believe this is legit. Here's a better* source https://www.politico.eu/article/european-parliament-platform... *This source at least explains the other side of the issue.
This is also a temporary legislation that will be in place until a long term legislation is in place.
Regardless of that I do think this legislation is bad.

Or do you really think that when for example DoH gains wider adoption all the countries using DNS based blocking will go "Oh well guess the techies got us".
