There really should be a law where the EU gets fined everytime they waste time bringing up the same proposal that has already been shut down multiple times.

You want to do what with two lost pigs?

I almost forgot the monthly "let's make encryption illegal" from the EU.

let's make encryption illegal*

*for the peasantry, of course.

They really love the idea of giving the political class an exception.

It's sad and against our supposed values. Who proposed this this time? Was it the same MEP?

This comes from the Commission, not Parliament.

My question is: even if EU manages to apply laws for backdooring encryption, wouldn't cybercriminals just use different tools? They may force Signal to backdoor its encryption, but what about Briar? Will they backdoor the Tor network? Will they ban it entirely? What about Matrix? They can't prevent offshore encrypted instances.

Bingo! It's simply surveillance of the masses.

She claimed that in "85 percent" of police cases, law enforcement couldn't access the data it needed. The proposal is to amend the existing Cybersecurity Act to allow these changes. You can watch the response below.

That is complete and utter bullshit. And everyone knows it.

As long as there is opensource, good luck with that. Remember the export-restricted pgp?
