Privacy

Rare case of a decent heise article with plenty of detail.

The hit rate of the systems is a minuscule 0.000002735 percent, while the error rate is up to 20 percent. This means that countless harmless private recordings are mistakenly flagged by the filters daily and reviewed by human examiners.

Yeah thats about what i would expect.

However, the Commission's calculation to push the Parliament into approval through a last-minute submission and artificially created time pressure did not pay off. The MEPs showed little inclination to abandon their previous stance. This involved not extending the provisional arrangement again, but instead finding a permanent regulation. This should exclusively permit targeted measures in cases of concrete suspicion.

Great to hear that the right people found their spines here.

However, the issue is not yet off the table. Despite the failure in committee, the European Parliament's plenary session is expected to address the dossier as early as next week.

Never any downtime with this shit :(
