  • Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol
  • PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement’s ability to intercept and monitor communications
  • Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.

    We’re back to “privacy is a good thing even if it enables ‘criminals’”? Yesterday there was rather a lot of negativity towards GNU Taler and other means of transferring money privately because it enabled tax evasion and such.

      Gnu taler doesn’t enable tax evasion if I am not mistaken. Vendors income is public I think.

              Not let the government have 100% viewability of every financial transaction you ever made

              That’s explicitly not the case with gnu taler though.

              Edit: I checked their website https://taler.net/en/features.html and I don’t even know if sending person to person is possible. So you might have a point. I would never advocate to get rid of cash though, cash is good. Maybe in a distant future once we really have a digital equivalent working reliably.
