10/ I added an english draft version on Zenodo to provide easier access for non-German speaking interested people.

Zenodo»Going Dark«. Data tracking and data access at European levelIt sounds as if Brussels wants to become a cyberpunk metropolis: an expert group that is not allowed to be called that so that you can't know who its members are. Data access to devices, services and infrastructures whenever the »security« deems it necessary. Influence on industry standards so that this is always possible in real time. If not, it is regrettable that vulnerabilities will have to be exploited and penalties imposed on those who do not »co-operate«. What even the name - Going Dark - makes it look like the scorched no-man's land between Neuromancer and V for Vendetta, has an administrative designation: »High-Level Group on Access to Data for Effective Law Enforcement«. The far-reaching proposals of this EU working group were rated as „impressive and forward-looking“ by the Hungarian government and are to become the focus of the current Council Presidency. And always at the centre of this development, in past and present: scientific infrastructures. This text is a machine-based translation of the weblog article »Going Dark. Datentracking und Datenzugriff auf europäischer Ebene« in order to provide easier access for non-German speaking interested parties, also the german language quotes were therefore transferred. Consider this version a »post-print derivative« and please refer to the original in case of references or citations: Siems, Renke (2024): „Going Dark“.
