data retention

by Vasil Kolev

As you should know, there’s a protest this Thursday related to the latest shit from the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the data retention. There are some serious stupidities in the whole thing (technically the problem is almost solvable, but there are things that can’t be caught, for example in some of the messengers you can’t catch who’s talking to whom). Also it’s not really clear who has to do this – at a discussion in the last few days I was told that the hostings are not affected, I’m not sure if marla is affected (most probably no), and I have no idea how do they see to make the whole thing work (for example, who’s going to explain what a “passive terminal” is…)

But I have one suggestion. Let’s finally enable the cryptography of everything we use. To run some TOR nodes and to use them. To run some more free machines in the network and to use those for email. To use jabber with SSL and similar things.
(and we’ll make life easier for the ISPs, they’ll have to retain less data this way :) )

(I started a tor server a few minutes ago, I’m thinking to run some more of them)
