Danska, ki predseduje Svetu Evropske unije, je v zadnjih mesecih na skupno mizo prinesla zakon, ki bi veljal v državah članicah Evropske unije, poimenovan Chat Control. Gre za nadzor zasebnega klepeta, ki med uporabniki poteka prek različnih aplikacij (WhatsApp, Signal, Messenger …), tudi tistih, ki danes veljajo kot šifrirane, torej zaklenjene. Zagovorniki zakona pravijo, da bi z zakonsko podlago in stalnim vpogledom v vse vrste komunikacije med državljani Evropske unije lažje našli in ujeli kriminalce in teroriste, nasprotniki, med njimi tudi celotna strokovna javnost, pravi, da je zakon zelo slaba ideja brez pravih argumentov.Slovenija je proti zakonu in se pridružuje Avstriji, Slovaški, Češki, Poljski, Nemčiji, Nizozemski, Finski in Estoniji. Neodločene so Belgija, Italija, Romunija, Grčija in Latvija. Chat Control podpirajo Irska, Portugalska, Španija, Francija, Hrvaška, Madžarska, Bolgarija, Danska, Švedska in Litva. Glasovanje v Svetu Evropske unije je z oktobra prestavljeno na december.Na pomembnost varnosti in zasebnosti na spletu, ki je v Evropi pogosto zgled drugim državam in ga zato moramo ščititi, opozarja vodja SiCerta Gorazd Božič. V epizodi sodelujejo tudi ameriški tehnološki novinarji: Dan Moren (Six Colors), Jacob Kastrenakes (The Verge) in John Siracusa (ATP.fm).

We always knew Daniel Dae Kim would accomplish something after “Crusade!” (Kids, ask your “Babylon 5”-loving parents.) Our panel looks back over the three-month phenomenon that has been Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” and gives you reasons to watch it if you’re dispositionally averse to KPop, youth-friendly animation, or popular things.
