- Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol
- PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement’s ability to intercept and monitor communications
- Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.
My main man, you deserve the wall for even attempting that shit, now you’re gonna complain we’re making it hard?
We should give them universal admin privileges.

Well this seems like a guy I can trust!
One of these guys went on to be a very wholesome beloved actor.
And the other…I assume is still alive.
The other one is Keanu something. He was in a terrible film about a man falling down some stairs, I think.
Lol. Uh, good?
Came here to pose exactly this. While I support proper and ethical law enforcement, the Snowden leak clearly showed just how unethical my own government is willing to be to enforce laws. So whatever tools I have at my disposal to prevent unlawful search and seizure, I will use them.
man, I do my homelab for hobby and better performance. this is bonus.
disclaimer: didn’t read the article past the paywall fade out. and I’m too lazy to circumvent
Home routing in this case refers to IP tunneling when roaming.
you mean like ipsec or vpn? I have been playing with that too for connecting my brother’s computers to my self host services.

Oh no… Anyway
I fixed the bulleted.

PET technologies does exactly what it’s intended to do–protect the innocent civilian from the prying eyes of the not innocent bodies that are hellbent on eroding privacy and security

Good. ‘Lawful’ interception is total nonsense. They’d have a camera up everyone’s ass if they could.
As it is our TVs bloody listen to us…1984 is here.
That’s going to be a recurring theme. Law enforcement starts scanning one thing, businesses, criminals and citizens start using something else. They’ll have to forbid everything that’s not open, but by then legal businesses stop using the net because all their secrets get stolen.
PET? Not the bottle i guess.
Privacy Enhancing Technologies. Some obvious things giving anonymity and plausible deniability but also zero-knowledge proofs and such.
Privacy Enhancing Technologies. A blanket term for anything protecting your identity (Onion, VPN, etc.) I feel like the people asking for this either have a very limited technical understanding of it or completely different motives. You can’t ban encryption. What they could do is ban VPN services from officially operating or certain protocols but that would mostly hit your regular user.
So pet-enabled routers = routers with built in vpn support?
PET technologies = Privacy Enhancing Technologies technologies
Think of the children!
Good. Fk off governments.
Good! The government has no business in peoples’ homes.
It’s almost as if police need to get a warrant to wiretap people, and can’t just do illegal wiretaps on unencrypted data. I can see why the EU may want to consider implementing processes for cross-border wiretaps, though.
Even if law enforcement can get a warrant, unless there’s a backdoor in the encryption then the data stays private. That’s the whole point of encryption.
The fundamental problem is law enforcement feeling entitled to snoop on private communications with a warrant vs the inherent security flaw with making a backdoor in encrypted communications. The backdoor will eventually get exploited, either by reverse engineering/tinkering or someone leaking keys, and then encryption becomes useless. The only way encryption works is if the data can only be decrypted by one key.
Anyone else remember when TSA published a picture of the master key set for TSA approved luggage locks and people had modeled and printed replicas within hours?
That’s also true. Wiretapping internet communications was more valuable pre-2010s when things weren’t encrypted. It is good that things are encrypted now. There’s still some metadata that can be pulled now from ISPs, such as IP addresses, SNI, and unencrypted DNS, but cops are better off subpoenaing Facebook and Google than trying to wiretap.
