🇩🇪 Both the European Parliament and the German Armed Forces Bundeswehr use the US conference platform #Webex. In the #Taurus #wiretapping affair, this was fatal for many reasons:
🤦 End-to-end encryption #E2EE was not activated and is barely supported by Webex
🤦 Analog telephone dial-in from abroad is of course easy to intercept
🤦 Obviously no check of who was dialed in, spoofing easy
🤦 US providers can always be intercepted by the US (without #E2EE)
Now or never: We need a communication sovereignty offensive that makes open, self-operated, metadata-saving and securely #E2EE encrypted communication a normality! Mr Bundeskanzler, Ms EP President, take it from here please!
