> to protect The Netherlands against Russian and Chinese hackers
So it's a noble cause then? Or does it have privacy implications for innocent netizens? I thought these exchanges would have been tapped in some form way before this announcement?
- lionkor 3y agoI wanna be noble, too! Where's the form to sign up as a proxy for some war?
- sspiff 3y agoThe new law also lowers the bar for Dutch law enforcement to obtain records from these taps significantly, removing the necessity of a judge to rule whether the request is justified in the investigation. Surely no law enforcement would overreach when given tools like these, right? Right?
- davedx 3y agoYeah the Belastingdienst would never do anything naughty with powers like these. Let them in on it too!
- Notatheist 3y agoThey've already overreached in the past. https://nos.nl/artikel/2432715-inlichtingendiensten-moeten-grote-bak-data-burgers-verwijderen https://nos.nl/artikel/2432715-inlichtingendiensten-moeten-g... https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/tech/artikel/5294998/aftappen-aivd-mivd-tappen-inlichtingendiensten-privacy-internet https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/tech/artikel/5294998/aftappen-aivd-...
