alecm1995: Story Claims PGP Used to Cloak Net Pedophiles | CNET | banning VPNs would be like pissing against the wind…<a href="https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/story-claims-pgp-used-to-cloak-net-pedophiles/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Sound familiar?</a><blockquote>According to the story, pedophiles and child pornographers are using PGP to contact each other and transact business. At an Interpol conference on crime against children in London yesterday, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-drew-obe-qpm-a8627767?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Detective Chief Inspector Bryan Dres</a> (sic) of the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) said use of PGP among pornographers has greatly increased over the last two years because it is available to anyone on the Net.</blockquote> We’ve all been around this loop several times, which is why I am absolutely furious. All you need to do to set up a VPN of your own is to get a tiny instance in an American AWS data centre and fire up Wireguard or OpenVPN on it. It’s trivial. You don’t need to pay anybody other than a few quid per month to Amazon USA. Civil society across the world has spent so much time on the techlash for the past 10 years, literally working to convince people that they are victims at the mercy of big technology companies, that we all appear to have forgotten we are actually individuals who can do shit on our own and that circumventing this is all simply an exercise in running your own software and sharing it with your mates. Lacking anyone to teach them different of course the governments have followed this (attractive) line of thinking and decided that all they have to do is screw billionaires to the wall in order to achieve dominance and mastery of the internet; some of us know that they are wrong, but everything civil society are saying at the moment (“what we need is better regulation!”) reinforces their “the internet is a bunch of services run by corporations” worldview.There are two potential trajectories here: the government is going to have to lose face, or else they are going to have to crack down on access to open source software in order to deliver their goals.Which do you think they are going to prefer?Of course the preferred solution from Ofcom will be to seek funding to become the VPN regulator who will determine whether a given VPN instance is legitimate or illegitimate. This builds all of brand, power and empire.And then we all go around in like ants in a death circle again.<a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/aws" target="_blank">#aws</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/censorship" target="_blank">#censorship</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/end-to-end-encryption" target="_blank">#endToEndEncryption</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/ofcom" target="_blank">#ofcom</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/online-safety" target="_blank">#onlineSafety</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/online-safety-act" target="_blank">#onlineSafetyAct</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/pgp" target="_blank">#pgp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/vpn" target="_blank">#VPN</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://alecmuffett.com/article/tag/wire-guard" target="_blank">#wireGuard</a>
