🎉 The word is out! 🎉 The European Parliament just made a big move for internet safety! They've approved the eIDAS revision and clarified some rules (article 45 and QWACs) to better protect EU citizens online. Read more about it here #eIDAS #websecurity

Here's @bpreneel1's take on the @Europarl_EN vote, one of the cybersecurity experts behind an open letter warning against Art. 45. The Commission statement "mitigates the risk of undermining the security of web ecosystem" but the "devil will be in the detail" aka implementation.

Once you start thinking about the internet as a global space, then you will create cybersecurity policies that set the floor and not the ceiling. Food for thought from @nappy_techie following last week's #eIDAS vote!

This is MEP @karmel80, one of the biggest champions of web security in the European Parliament, speaking after the vote on #eIDAS. “The Parliament will make sure that the Commission keeps a promise”👊

🎉 Big news! 🎉 The European Parliament just passed the eIDAS revision and a Commission statement, clarifying article 45 and QWACs. Commissioner Breton stressed that web browsers won't face security policy restrictions, ensuring online security. #eIDAS
