Europol is proposing solutions to avoid challenges posed by privacy-enhancing technologies in Home Routing that hinder law enforcement's ability to intercept communications during criminal investigations. Home Routing is a system in telecommunication services that allows customers to route traffic through their home network even when traveling abroad. When privacy-enhancing technologies are enabled in Home Routing, data is encrypted at the service level and subscribers' devices exchange session-based keys with the provider in the home network.
Europol published a position paper today highlighting its concerns around SMS home routing - the technology that allows telcos to continue offering their services when customers visit another country. According to the cops, they pointed out that when roaming, a suspect in a criminal case who's using a SIM from another country will have all of their mobile communications processed through their home network.

Instead, organizations must think about adopting a defense-in-depth approach to their security strategy - one that provides continuous insights into what's happening to their mobile devices, and an ability to detect and respond with AI-driven automation to protect sensitive data in the cloud no matter where it goes.
Concerns about the privacy of library reading material date back to the early 20th century, explained Dorothea Salo, academic librarian and library-school instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, to The Register. Library privacy became national news in 2005 when George Christian, then executive director of Library Connection, a Connecticut library consortium, received a National Security Letter from the FBI. The Feds, under the US Patriot Act, demanded library patron information without a warrant and imposed a lifetime gag order that forbade disclosure of the NSL. Christian and three colleagues, who became known as the Connecticut Four, refused to comply and a district court eventually found the gag order unconstitutional, prompting the government to drop its demand.
