The European Union is an antidemocratic corporate cartel.
Good thing it wasn't the EU that made the trains 👌
The EU is in a constant struggle for its direction. Discounting it as a lost cause only allows malicious actors free reign. On the one hand, EU regulators take on tech monopolies, like forcing Microsoft to un-bundle Windows and Edge/Bing. And european courts have repeatedly struck down legislation that would allow for indiscriminate data retention.
On the other hand, the EU politicians are currently trying to sneak through a law that would force browsers to accept state-issued root certificates, allowing them to spy on and alter any and all internet communication, basically upending the trust-based system that keeps the internet secure currently. This law is part of the eIDAS initiative.
And I'm sure that with the new, EU-driven right to repair initiative, the train manufacturer will be forced to back down soon too.
The right to repair proposal will sure have a list of exemptions, not to hurt the feelings of big commercial conglomerates.
Interesting, this needs some reading
Here is a link detailing the issues concerning root certificates in the eIDAS legislation, as it currently written and about to be voted on: https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/08/europe_eidas_browser/
