The second step, which we still need to evaluate because some companies want it, and others are more hesitant, is to allow Anatel to have access to the core routers to place a direct order on the router
I don’t think these people understand routers …
“To place a direct order on the router”?? wtf does that even mean?
They figure ports and IP addresses that link or distribute wares can be globally blocked and that will solve their problem.
It worked fine for Italy /s
How do they think that will work if the data is encrypted? We even have encrypted DNS now.
Simple. After they gain access to the routers and realize everything is encrypted then they’ll start throwing piles of money at politicians to outlaw encryption.
Politicians finally figured out that everything not encrypted or with a backdoor is the same as giving everything to Chinese or Russian spies in a silver platter. It’ll take very large piles of money now.
So the copyright industry will push again for back doors that they are given the keys to.
And let’s pretend for a second they can decrypt these packets. (Like let’s pretend they work with the CIA/NSA, who let’s say has some special key…) Even then, how are they going to determine that the sender and receiver do not have legit rights to own and/or transmit those bits? It’s fucking nuts.
This pops up every couple of years. It goes nowhere because it won’t work.
Let’s don’t… The internet is important to keep open for everybody, or we become just like China with their “Great Firewall”… Yea… No thanks. When you go this route (pun intended), there is no going back, every industry would like to enforce bans on everything.
