Cryptic messages: Facilitating crime to protect from crime...

The EU Commission presents a roadmap towards ending internet security for its citizens by 2030


Link Here 9th July 2025
Full story: Internet Encryption in the EU...Encryption is legal for the moment but the authorites are seeking to end this
The EU Commission presented a Roadmap on how it intends to ensure that law enforcement has access to citizens' data. EU politicians are seeking capabilities to decrypt private data by 2030.

The Roadmap is part of the ProtectEU strategy, first unveiled in April 2025. It stems from the work of the High-Level Group (HLG) carried on under the so-called Going Dark initiative . The group was tasked, by the EU Council in June 2023, to develop a strategic plan on access to data for effective law enforcement.

Specifically, the group's final report, published in March 2025, referred to end-to-end encryption as the biggest technical challenge to the investigative work of law enforcement agencies, explicitly targeting the use of the best VPN services, encrypted messaging apps, and similar tools.

The EU plan focuses on six key areas:

  • Data retention. The EU Commission is expected to carry out an impact assessment with the aim of extending the EU's data retention obligations and reinforcing cooperation between service providers and authorities.
  • Interception. Lawmakers seek to explore measures aimed at improving cross-border cooperation for lawful interception of data by 2027.
  • Digital forensics. The goal here is to develop technical solutions that allow authorities to analyze and preserve digital evidence stored on electronic devices.
  • Decryption. Next year, the EU Commission is set to present a Technology Roadmap on encryption to identify and evaluate decrypting solutions. These technologies are expected to equip Europol officers from 2030.
  • Standardisation. The Commission is said to be committed to working alongside Europol, industry stakeholders, experts, and law enforcement practitioners to standardize the new approach to internal security.
  • AI solutions for law enforcement. Lawmakers also seek to promote the development and deployment of AI tools by 2028. These solutions will enable authorities to lawfully and effectively process large volumes of seized data.

Other articles suggest that the EU is thinking along the lines of key escrow where the authorities mandatorily demand a copy of people's encryptions keys

 

 

An ongoing censorship malaise...

Portman Group censors wine brand over 'chronic' being a reference to skunk


Link Here9th July 2025

A complaint against Chronic Cellars Space Doubt Zinfandel has been upheld by the alcohol industry's Complaints Panel.

The complaint was made as part of the Portman Groups independent proactive audit of the UK market, raised concerns that the term 'chronic' was associated with high-strength marijuana and that the name 'Space Doubt', was a play on words sounding similar to spaced out which had an association with drug taking.

The Panel also considered whether the name of the product, Space Doubt, alongside the name of the producer, Chronic Cellars, could be in breach of Code Rule 3.2(b)for creating an association with illegal behaviour.

The producer argued that the name Chronic was surfer lingo meaning the best and that the surfer slang reflected the founders passion for surfing and the idea of selecting the best grapes to create exceptional wines The producer also explained that the name Space Doubt was created to reflect the complexity and wonderment of the world, encouraging moments of contemplation with the double meaning reflecting on vineyard row spacing during replanting.

The Panel considered the meaning of the word chronic and noted that, whilst it had a number of meanings including persistent and the best, it could also refer to strong cannabis. Given the number of ways chronic could be interpreted, the Panel considered how the word was presented in the wider context of the rest of the packaging.

The Panel considered the front label, including the company name Chronic Cellars, a stylised image of a skeleton sitting on top of the Earth observing a planet and the brand name Space Doubt alongside it. The Panel noted that the packaging was absent of any reference to surfing to give context to the intended meaning of Chronic as explained by the producer. The Panel noted that the brand name Space Doubt sounded phonetically like spaced out, a phrase commonly used to infer impairment due to the effects of illicit drugs.

The Panel considered all of the elements of the packaging including the word chronic in the context of being spaced out and the positioning of the skeleton, which was sitting cross-legged in a relaxed pose staring into space, and concluded that whilst each element could have been acceptable in isolation, taken together they gave an overall impression of an association with illicit drugs. The Panel also considered that because the packaging created an association with illicit drugs and alluded to the effects of cannabis use, the product packaging also indirectly created an association with illegal behaviour. Accordingly, the complaint was upheld under Code Rules 3.2(c) and 3.2(b).

A decline in the number of strip joints and lap dancing clubs


Link Here9th July 2025
The Daily Mail is reporting that strip clubs are dying out. Only 103 premises still exist in England, Scotland and Wales, figures suggest. This is down from around 155 in 2022.

Nick Ede, one of the UK's experts on popular culture, told MailOnline: OnlyFans has totally killed the strip club. People are now tipping sex workers and strippers using their phones, rather than slipping a 10 pound note in a thong.

It's also a clear generational thing, too. Strip clubs were seen as sleazy venues, now they are seen as old and out of touch with today's lifestyles.

The statistics, obtained by MailOnline under Freedom of Information laws, also show how standalone sex shops are vanishing. Just 42 now exist, compared to 104 in 2010.

Birmingham is the strip club capital of the country, with 21 active establishments. Meanwhile, Cardiff, Birmingham and Wolverhampton all lay claim to having the most sex shops, with four apiece.
