  • I have: here’s the relevant paragraph from the directive:

    Amendment 186 Proposal for a directive Article 3 – paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Disseminating pornographic content online without putting in place robust and effective age verification tools to effectively prevent children from accessing pornographic content online shall be punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 1 year.

    Pinky promise is explicitely not allowed.

    And you’re doing the exact thing: blaming the specific implementation 🙂 It’s so sad that that still tricks people. Is this your first time learning how a EU directive works?


  • No, it’s saying that exact thing: online users of porn must be deanonymised on penalty of prison. To stop child abuse because that’s related somehow?

    It’s just that the countries themselves must choose the particulates: who will do the deanonymisation, in what way, what will enforcement look like, etc.

    That’s what they mean with “the final shape of the law hasn’t been determined yet”.

    Every EU directive works that way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union)

    A directive is a legal act of the European Union[1] that requires member states to achieve particular goals without dictating how the member states achieve those goals

    In this case: the de-anonymisation must happen. Up to the respective countries to do the dirty work.

    When people, rightfully, get angry the local politician will say “we had to because EU”. And the EU will say “well we didn’t say it had to be in that way, it’s your local politician that did that.”


  • That’s simply how any EU directive works: EU decides what must happen, and it’s up to the individual countries to put it into their respective laws.

    That way people get angry at their federal government instead. Who can point their finger higher up. Who can then point to the countries specific implementation in their turn. It’s a neat trick. Nobody’s responsible for anything.

    the law works against its intentions

    When has that ever stopped a puritan?















  • At one of my clients, who wants everything on-prem, I use gitlab CI with ansible. It took 3 days to setup, and requires thinkering. But all in all, I like the versitility, consistency and transparency of this approach.

    If I’d start over again, I’d use pyinfra instead of ansible, but that’s a minor difference.
