Another month, another attempt: Even though Hungary had to cancel the latest EU Council's vote on the Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) Regulation in June 2024 because there was no majority among member states, it tried again this Wednesday - without success. The tipping point was that the Dutch secret service clearly issued their opinion on the enormous threat to everybody's security should end-to-end encryption be weakened. Encryption is paramount for the digital resilience in Europe.

A secret service that protects its own people instead of taking every opportunity to spy on them. remarkable.

Your cattle is not your friend's cattle. They don't want their population under surveillance from potentially hostile parties. Regardless of how they treat their own surveillance.

Secret services are not wizards in business of giving out cookies and gifts, but when they are at least functional, they should act in this exact way.

Unlike some other secret services sharing their means of surveillance with Israel, the Commonwealth, possibly Turkey, possibly Arab monarchies and who not. Such a small thing between friends, right.
