... the only alternative left for law enforcement is to issue a European Investigation Order (EIO), but responses for these can take up to 120 days, which isn't ideal when you want to catch a drug dealer who's only in the country for a weekend. "A solution to the situation described above is urgently necessary."...
Off course they target encryption. Look I understand that it is a drag to actually fix the system.. but they should target the 120 day slog of following procedure.
Nah.. never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by incompetence.
And I sort of get where law enforcement is coming from. I just disagree with their solution.
Now they can just do it easy. If they have to go through another country they might even have to provide a reason that will hold up to scrutiny... Think of the consequences that might have!
The point is to reduce bandwidth... analog uses 100 percent of the bandwidth all the time when transmitting, a digital signal can send information in packets, and allow more streams on one frequency.
Some flawed statistics never stopped government policy. :)
It's Switzerland, the country of high costs and higher wages, stolen nazi gold and laundering the money for the worlds most heinous people. They are rich.
And according to the Swiss themselves there is 0.53 cars per person.. so "has access too" probably key in the scentence.
Swiss radio listeners will soon have to toss out their old sets, as the country plans to end analog FM broadcasting on December 31, 2024, in favor of a total conversion to digital.
The move has been a long time coming in Switzerland, which has largely already transitioned to Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB+, an evolution of standard DAB that was designed to address early issues).
That put Switzerland second to Norway in DAB+ penetration prior to enforcement of the EU's Electronic Communications Code, which mandated digital radio receivers be included in all new vehicles as of 2020.
While some countries in the EU and beyond have readily embraced DAB and the phaseout of analog radio, not everyone is as excited as the Swiss or Norwegians about the transition.
Several of those rollouts were abandoned due to lack of interest, low availability of DAB+ receivers and the rise in satellite and internet-based radio broadcasts.
Basic feature phones that lack internet access are common in India, which relies on emergency radio broadcasts more heavily than nations with broader mobile data network coverage.

I don't see why it wouldn't apply. Their argument that selling user data to target ads is the only way they can be profitable is literally the same as Facebook's.
I guess it depends on whether it only applies to "large platforms" as the wording of this article suggests. Otherwise it should definitely affect every site with a similar option.
