Under the pretext of fight against terrorism, the groups of the European Parliament wants to give the police the power to censor the Internet and even individual accounts with social media providers at will. This is not only a stark attempt to justify large reductions in freedom with the slogan of "terrorism", it also flies in the face of the most basic anti-censorship principles. Directive (a kind of European federal law) is not yet complete, but begins to take shape, and it is horrifying to search.
HAX in Brussels sounds great alarm bell as the greatest power in the European Parliament, the European People's Party, has thrown its guidelines for what they want to see in this Directive terrorism, and it is horrifying:
"would mean limiting the internet reach the ISIS and other extremist groups on our social media networks for total ban would be impossible for it. is quite difficult to know who is an extremist recruiter and who are not on Facebook and Twitter, but we can certainly restrict and delete their Facebook pages and bar their accounts. (...)
It was agreed that Europol is to get more power to handle the rigging of the terrorist threat online. new specialized units controlled by a European supervisor and a group of Joint Parliamentary review, will be set up that will be able to communicate with social network providers (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) directly to request pages and managed by ISIS accounts are closed as quickly as possible. "
It should be noted here that not only the common goals of censorship are mentioned, but there is also discussion on controlling direct policy on social network providers, even when it is located outside the European Union.
and of course, the Internet interprets censorship as damage to the network and routes around it. as we have seen in the case of Cookie law, total incompetence coupled with good intentions is not only harmless in the regulation of the Internet, it is actually dangerous . There will always be insignificant means to escape the mandatory censorship and those targeted - "terrorists" - all already know
Thus, the idea of censorship falls flat on his face immediately that it is very inefficient, and therefore, should not be allowed to proceed. someone with a brain had watched with a healthy mind. But it is the analog legislators we are talking about. Excluding infants. People who receive their printed e-mails to them by their secretaries, and therefore think they understand the net. (Yes, really.)
Joe McNamee of the European Digital Rights Initiative also seems the big alarm bell in the room next year, are complaining of Directive terrorism.
Privacy is still your responsibility.
