Slashdot

I just read through the summary translated into English.

It seems they are proposing

1: The introduction of a digital identity to be used for public as well as private services on the Internet.

2: That automatic security updates are encouraged (this is slightly different to what the original poster mentioned).

3: Compulsory PC inspection "to develop and introduce a PC inspection which will in future be required when using public services on the Internet" (yep, this is the scary one)

4: Compulsory mail filtering

5: Security rating for software

6: Blocking of websites that are without doubt works as an active part of the IT crime

7: That the use of online data storage be promotes and that "public authorities give the rights, that include data stored on third-party servers, a critical view".

As to proposal 1, whatever they do if it's adopted by bank and financial service companies it will be hacked in under a fortnight.

As to proposal 2, encourage all you want but companies will only do what makes financial sense.

As to proposal 3, show me your warrant/court order - I think Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights could come into play here.

As to proposal 4, again I'm pretty sure Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights could come into play here.

As to proposal 5, no comment

As to proposal 6, It's easy enough to use a dns sever other than your ISP's if you want to see what your missing.

As to proposal 7, A persons data should have the same rights and legal protections wherever they choose to store it but in many countries this is not the case so yes a review is probably in order.
