I'm not sure why people are up in arms about this one. It's technical standards. Maybe I'm not reading it correctly, and it is a long document, but the standard includes things like sections 9.6.5, about minimizing PII, and 9.6.6, about using volatile storage on exit nodes (I.e. RAM only so nothing is retained on disk). And lots of other good things like using a memory safe language and software should have security updates. Let me know if I'm missing something, but I found nothing in there about interaction with law enforcement agencies.

Weird how I don't feel safer then.

this new regulatory framework aims to keep your digital life safer

No, it fucking doesn't. This is bullshit. Here's the blatant evidence. None of these businesses have our best interests in mind, obviously:

This comprehensive standard was not drafted in a vacuum. Major industry players, like Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Airbus, and Google, alongside industry heavyweights NordVPN and Surfshark, have actively contributed to shaping these security parameters to ensure they are both operationally feasible and technically robust.___

Ah, the VPN apocalypse cometh. Thanks EU. Hope you downloaded enough, window's closing. Welcome to the de-anonymized (overtly legally, the spies always knew but it wasn't actionable) internet, hope it doesn't chill your free speech.

They're counting on that we're unconnected offline, when do we bring back IRL digital sharing?

Fuck.
