Well, honestly?

Since these certificates are not banned nor up for debate, the NSA probably already have a way to get all the data through another loop hole.

Yes, it protects against "attacks" from outside, but it's naive to expect they dont have another way in which goes beyond LetsEncrypt.

Is anyone wonders why it's a problem it's under US juristriction:

Look up the US Cloud Act. It's everything the media told you China was, but in the hands of an orange dictator.

It's funny how many rules there's made by the party who always talk about freedom.

It doesnt work like that in Denmark. You can get this without being a Danish citizen with a Danish passport.

You can also get this ID as a child with your parents consent.

That's a fair point.

My argument only applied to the age verification in the Danish app, which doesnt share the ID to any server.

The point is that you get a verification by logging in with another 2FA app, whos only job is to verify with the government server, that you are indeed a Danish citizen with official documentation.

Then the other app recieves that token that only contains an age group with a true flag. This token is then shared with the private companies.

As a stand alone solution to age verification that everyone needs to use, this is pretty well thought out.

If a Linux phone then comes around that everyone would buy, you could do it better, yes.

It's always interesting to me when I hear people who distrusts governments more than private companies.

Maybe because I'm from Denmark, but it sounds so backwards.

If I were from the US tho, I would think the same. Or like "i'm fucked regardless"

Depends from country to country.

Denmark for example have issued an age verification app, where no data other than "Allowed/Declined" is leaving the app.

No specific age, no name, no data.

The token is issued by the government.

Always expect what China might do, the US (NSA) does more.

Chat Control didnt pass - they didnt even vote because they were afraid the result would be embarassing.

And we got told so many times, that EU now wants Chat Control. But it was a big fat lie.

EU is a democracy with different opinions, and when a small group of facists tries to read your chats, it does not represent the EU opinion.

But the whole media got you thinking so. Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.

I quoted the article here with the news:

In a major breakthrough for the digital rights movement, the German government has refused to back the EU’s controversial Chat Control regulation yesterday after facing massive public pressure.

The government did not take a position on the proposal.

This blocks the required majority in the EU Council, derailing the plan to pass the surveillance law next week.

 

For me it would probably be Canada. Seems like we share alot of values with them, and we could do more trading than we do today.

Especially if they also will have tensions with the US, it would be a win win.

But what do you guys think? Northern Africa would be an obvious choice in the future, but I don't know if they're ready.

PS. This is not a post talking about leave the US entirely. Ofc not. It would just be better for us to work with others and expand our worldview a little.
