Greens/EFA Group in the European Parliament to use Debian for email encryption
Rebecca Harms [11], co-president of the Greens/EFA Group in the European Parliament, announced a project to use trustworthy encryption [12] in cooperation and dialogue with European Parliament IT services and Debian. Recognising that we "live in a digital environment polluted by pervasive surveillance", she sees encrypted software as a small first step to ensure nobody but the intended recipent of an email can read it. Greens/EFA will use a selection of Free Software from Debian running on regular consumer laptops. "As Greens in the European Parliament we are very pleased that we are supported by Debian [...], a community of programmers and developers abiding to a social contract [13] to share and maintain their common resource which they call Free Software", she said.
