"The attack was probably carried out using a £30 jamming device bought over the internet. "
Did you mean that attacks of this sort can be carried out by jamming devices which are available for as little as £30 on the internet? If you did, maybe you could have said that - otherwise it looks like questionable hypothesis layered on questionable hypothesis.
As CoE recommendations are formally adopted by all 46 Ministers from the member states, the text would be very meaningful before a national court. It isn't some random group of bureaucrats sitting in a room somewhere, it is the member states, at ministerial level, signing up to the principles.
Where the hell does the Ja / Nein in the headline come from? The MEP in charge is Catalan and from the biggest political party in the Parliament. The MEP following the dossier for the second biggest party in the parliament is Greek.
Typical British prejudice Ja - related in any way to what is currently going on... nein.
...""The European Commission says no to roaming premiums, yes to net neutrality, yes to investment, yes to new jobs. Fixing the telecoms sector is no longer about this one sector but about supporting the sustainable development of all sectors," Kroes said.
Do you really want to take everything Kroes says as fact? Where's the analysis? Where are the alternative views? Where's the criticism of her half-baked NN proposals, for example?
"most fixed ISPs use the Internet Watch Foundation to block the worse of the worst, "
No, they "block" (solving unproven problems for unclear motives) *anything* that the IWF says may be illegal under UK law. Not "worst of the worst"... just anything the non-judicial IWF fears may be illegal.
Working group on*information exchange* and data protection. Coming from the policing side of the Council, these guys are traditionally... unfriendly to privacy concerns - information exchange and data protection are not easy bedfellows.. Their reaction is therefore not altogether surprising.
"It looks like Hague might be taking the arguments on board, kicking off the cyber-security conference with a speech railing against net censorship."
You don't understand... when THEY restrict access to content, it's bad censorship"... when WE restrict access to content, it's "good government". Small but crucial difference.
