      And yet democracy has been managing for many decades.

      >“When we have a search warrant and we are in front of a house and the door is locked, and you know that the criminal is inside of the house, the population will not accept that you cannot enter.”

      She wants to be able to enter anyone’s house, at any time, with no warrant though.

      Then openly admit that you’re a fascist state. Without it you won’t be able to force this.

    3. No it doesn’t. You would just like to be able to violate our privacy without a court order. „It’s for your own safety“ the oldest scaremongering tactics governments have been using for at least decades now.

      So, what will happen when an anti-democratic party comes to power?

      The worst of both worlds lol. Autocracy like China, but without the benefit of safety like their cities.

    6. Ah yes.

      „Enforce democracy“ – love it 😀

      Edit: It just dawned on me this phrase sounds straight out of „Peacemaker“. You really cannot make this sh*t up…

      Focus on TAXING said tech giants to start with before interfering with everyone and opening pandora’s box for the next dictator to exploit.

    9. ViruliferousBadger on

      How about we democratically enforce these guys out of office in the next elections? 😛

      Democracy is knowing what government workers, institutions and politicians are doing and thus knowing who they have contact with. Not the general populace.

    11. Okay, I’ll agree… if you make all convos of politicians, company bosses, lawyers & bankers available for us to check that democracy is enforced at all levels that actually matter.

      What? It would endanger democracy? Oh, really?

      No thank you, my messages are my privacy. What do they want to read about, the shopping lists my wife sends me?

    13. Fun-Ad-6948 on

      No it isn’t letters and telecommunications can’t be opened in the Netherlands according our constitution, it’s called briefgeheim and was implemented in the constitution in 1848.

    14. I’d be happier if social media companies were forced to reveal their algorithms.

    15. Lopsided-Affect-9649 on

      What a great moment in time to be pushing through a highly unpopular policy.

      So that’ll be a no to proper immigration controls, a no to sufficient action on climate change and yes to being able to read peoples private messages.

      If you really want to fight crime, legalise drugs.

      So democracy needs mass surveillance? Do these people listen to themselves?

      I for one will go out of my way to communicate with pidgeons from now on if this bs passes. Sue me.

    17. How comes? democracy has been running for quite long before the arrival of these dinosaurs..

    18. „Enforce democracy“? Democracy isn’t something you impose on people, it’s something they choose and participate in. You don’t enforce democracy, you enable it by protecting rights and privacy. Strip that away, and what’s left isn’t democracy at all. Please get rid of this chief, she isn’t for democracy, she’s for autocracy.

      Furthermore, her example about why people shouldn’t expect anonymity is deeply flawed:

      *“When we have a search warrant and we are in front of a house and the door is locked, and you know that the criminal is inside of the house, the population will not accept that you cannot enter.”*

      Which is very true, but that analogy actually supports the opposite point. Yes, you can break into the house, but only **after** obtaining a search warrant. And crucially, the door is still **locked** you don’t magically get a universal key. You still have to **physically break it down**.

      The same applies to encryption. Even with legal authority, if a phone is encrypted, law enforcement doesn’t get a master key to unlock it, they still have to **break** the encryption.

      is social media encrypted? No & nobody is doing a gdmf thing about the lies & misinformation being spread through that so H T F breaching encryption on messaging is gonna make any difference is beyond me

    21. Is she crazy?!?

      >She drew an analogy between digital encryption and a locked door during a physical police search.

      >”When we have a search warrant and *we are in front of a house and the door is locked, and you know that the criminal is inside of the house, the population will not accept that you cannot enter*.”

      Is she comparing the unlocking of encryption to having houses without door locking? Does she expect population to be OK with leaving their houses, their personal life, unlocked and open to anyone and to her?

      I’m astonished

    22. ImaginaryCoolName on

      Politicians are not included of course in this „enforced democratic“

    23. Disillusioned_Pleb01 on

      You are killing the body in order to cure a cold, and you use words like democracy to give you virtue to do as you please without scrutiny.

    24. ScalySaucerSurfer on

      Anonymity is definitely a fundamental right. And we should not rely on tech giants: embrace Linux/OpenBSD, Tor, Monero etc. Avoid closed ecosystems like App Store/Play Store.

    25. Spiritual-Sundae4349 on

      Yes, and North Korea has the word „democratic“ in the country name.

    26. I can’t believe we are seriously considering mass surveillance. Disgusting.
