| The same Dutch who voted on the eAIDS... ahem, sorry, eIDAS and ADDW car spyware? I'm not particularly excited about our new benevolent OS. |

| eIDAS is federated login between countries in EU. What is wrong with that? |
| |
| ▲ | Yizahi a day ago | parent | next [-] | | It's a mechanism to legally force web browser vendors to install government issues root certificates (which they already did btw). And EU pinky-promises that not a single independent EU member won't use them to do MITM attacks on their political opposition and journalists. Like Orban 2.0 or Fico won't use Hungarian or Slovak root cert for nefarious purposes, no-no-no. It's only to protect the children, see, and definitely not to help murder journalists investigating drug smuggling cover-up. :) | | |
| ▲ | mariusor a day ago | parent [-] | | I think we have pretty decent examples where browsers remove malicious root certificates if they have been so proven. Do you think the matters will be different if those belong to a country level root? | | |
| ▲ | Yizahi 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | And I think we have pretty decent examples of all kinds of initiatives where governments (or corporations) promise not abuse something which clearly can be abused, and then proceed to do just that. In the age of "cheques and bank balances" and continuous degradation of parliamentarism and judicial systems in multiple developed countries, I don't have much hope for "if the abuse will happen, we will fix it afterwards" promises. Rather, I expect it to be immediately normalized and then made worse. Yesterday we (IT) were talking how government can abuse information requests. Today we have government just sifting through almost everything unencrypted in real-time with zero shame. Tomorrow we will lose E2EE in most big countries and no one would "fix that" or roll back (it's already slowly happening in UK for example). |

| eidas is an EU thing and is like 15 years old, what is this even about |
| |
| ▲ | Yizahi a day ago | parent [-] | | eIDAS 2.0 is 2 years old. An intentional dark pattern to confuse people. | | |
| ▲ | mariusor a day ago | parent [-] | | Unlike your vague posting, which is meant to be illuminating. If you have a critique, please let us know what it is. | | |
| ▲ | Muromec a day ago | parent [-] | | The existence of government all in itself is triggering, because other people can do things to you based on their flawed understanding. Also the government is sometimes the literal nazis | | |
| ▲ | mariusor a day ago | parent [-] | | We're talking about a government of governments. Not entirely impossible to become "literal nazis" but somewhat difficult. | | |
| ▲ | Muromec a day ago | parent [-] | | That's even scarier, right. Imagine you are scared of clowns and then somebody introduces you to a concept of a clown king that even clowns are scared of |
