The vilification of computer literacy is changing gears yet again. In this article terrorism is the all to well known scapegoat. The EU is currently pushing for the criminalization of all encryption mechanisms under the umbrella of rampant pedophilia. At the same time there's a massive push to speed up the process for an EU-wide eID. Anyone heard of the chinese social credit system?
