by Desiree Miloshevic 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

Dear colleagues and members We have received a lot of interest from the community regarding our January open call to form a Small Task Team. The STT will work on a Coop WG community response to then pending EC consultation on the future of digital infrastructure in Europe. The European Commission consultation has been published last week: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/consultations/future-electronic-co… <https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/consultations/future-electronic-co…> While this it is in no way a small task, we would like to thank the following RIPE community volunteers for stepping forward: Carsten Schiefner Alex de Joode Patrik Fältström Frode Sørensen Thomas Lohninger Konstantinos Komaitis Christian de Larrinaga Bastiaan Goslings, from RIPE NCC, will be providing necessary staff support for the Small Task Team work to be organised. We plan to share our draft response prior to its submission and we hope to have time allocated at the RIPE86 meeting Coop WG to discuss it further. Please send any suggestions of comments you may have to this list. Desiree, Julf and Achilleas — RIPE Coop WG Co-Chairs

EU's Chat Control 2.0: a feedback from RIPE?
by Töma Gavrichenkov 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

Peace, A new legislation proposal, dubbed Chat Control 2.0 but formally a "Proposal for a Regulation laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse”, is now being discussed in the European Parliament. Under the conditions of Chat Control 2.0, messaging platform providers would be required, with no option to abstain, to search data on every customer's phone, including private peer-to-peer chats and e-mails, and send potentially law-breaking (as determined by vague algorithms) pieces of data to authorities for examination. The proposal is explained in more detail here: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/ This is marginally relevant to specifically the Internet provider community, but is largely relevant to the tech community in the EU, because this initiative could be seen by many (including myself) as an attempt on mass surveillance which is violating the fundamental privacy rights of the EU citizens. My question to the coop-wg in that case would be, does the working group see merit in providing feedback on this proposal to the members of parliament, from the tech community standpoint? -- Töma
