European Parliament votes to strengthen EU-wide cybersecurity rules

  1. As far as I can tell, this is a (very vague) report on the awful NIS2 directive? Likely very bad news – compromised encryption, all internet chat monitored in realtime by filtering, destruction of anonymity / reliable report of your real name and address to authorities (in service to old media companies), etc. – though I don’t know how much the text might have been watered down from the earlier fascist wet-dream yet. The EU may be well beyond saving hah.

    >The Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive is the first piece of EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity, and its specific aim was to achieve a high common level of cybersecurity across the Member States. While it increased the Member States’ cybersecurity capabilities, *its implementation proved difficult, resulting in fragmentation at different levels across the internal market*.

  3. In the first few moments of reading the title I thought it would be “…strengthen EU military” or “economy” or whatever. But it’s cybersecurity *rules*
