The EU's latest mass-surveillance initiative Going Dark is taking aim at the Lightning Network, 'mixers' and self-custody in its latest encryption report, but still lacks fundamental data to back up its claims that more surveillance does equal more security.

The EU's apparent regulatory strategy of "we'll just say things and hope no one notices" now seems to continue to manifest in its evaluation of financial privacy services.

Interesting. Did any of the members of government you spoke with in the EU say anything about this, nostr:npub13ajk3hhvqys2ev4y68jwxywgs8fsdsuk4y5gkzs874jdyrccvf5qak2yd9?

Yes, not much encouragingโ€ฆ that is why Im trying to wake up and organize bitcoiners in defense of privacy of communication and payment instruments, bitcoin mining in the EU. We might be to late to act if nothing changes and everyone believes that for some reason bitcoin must prevail, while under attack will be people who develop, investing, mining or using #bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a human right, community which develops, investing, maintaining system and use it/helps to scale. You need conditions for that, they are present in democracies and then can be spread as a tool to resist dictatorships.

Fuck this dystopia.

Great article.

"going dark"... trial balloon for cyber threat narrative. When the masses get too restless, they *will* pull the switch. maybe it will only last a few days, a week but the capitulation will occur rapidly as our "connected addicted society" can't order McDonald's or smokes to their pod.

good news for Bitcoiners... time chain will keep ticking, we'll resync when they turn the internet on again and we will have our own trial balloon of how better to harden the backbone for the next attack.

When encryption is illegal, everyone must break the law on purpose to show them that they have no right and they have no authority. Do whatever you must, whether it be downloading "illegal" software to use encryption or importing "illegal" hardware to use encryption. Whatever it takes. remember the first step of the ooda loop is to observe. break that and the rest becomes useless

These a mother a fuckers is a out a control

They never cared about data.

Why don't they just all their efforts 'privacy illegalization laws'?

They don't even hide the fact that no law needs to have been broken. They just want to control people that have not broken the law - suspects (that have not been found to have committed crime).

'custodial wallets... create opportunities... to seize crypto assets that are SUSPECTED [emphasis mine] to be of criminal nature."

Imagine in Russia and China huh

How exactly are they going to accomplish that. The honor system?

They "spy on your neighbors for brownie points" system.

Worked with Covid.

Bitcoiners do not mind, storing everything on a public transparent ledger since 2009.
