    That’s going to be a recurring theme. Law enforcement starts scanning one thing, businesses, criminals and citizens start using something else. They’ll have to forbid everything that’s not open, but by then legal businesses stop using the net because all their secrets get stolen.

    Can I activate home routing and PET on my phone? Or do I need to get a special SIM card for that? I’m confused about how this works.

      Privacy Enhancing Technologies. A blanket term for anything protecting your identity (Onion, VPN, etc.) I feel like the people asking for this either have a very limited technical understanding of it or completely different motives. You can’t ban encryption. What they could do is ban VPN services from officially operating or certain protocols but that would mostly hit your regular user.

    • Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception spying on innocent civilians harder for Europol

    • PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering preventing law enforcement’s ability to intercept and monitor spy on the communications of innocent civilians

    • Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue of Europol not knowing how to do their jobs without resorting to Orwellian dystopian techniques

    • PET technologies does exactly what it’s intended to do–protect the innocent civilian from the prying eyes of the not innocent bodies that are hellbent on eroding privacy and security

    Good, privacy is why they are being used. The government has plenty of legal ways to invade a person’s privacy, perhaps they should consider using them.
