Additionally, the Commission envisions expanding Europol’s role, effectively transforming it into a European equivalent of the FBI, with enhanced operational capabilities.
Granting Europol the ability to access encrypted data can only mean one thing: Brussels is proposing some form of government-mandated backdoor for communication platforms protected by end-to-end encryption.
ANY backdoor WILL get exploited. Just a matter of time.
This is so fucking stupid. Major crime organizations and governments can easily afford non-commercial encrypted communications. This will only be used to spy on citizens.
Exactly. Introducing vulnerabilities to everyone means that foreign powers will be able to use it to spy on EU citizens as well. Fucking bananas.
Don’t worry fellas, we promise only good guys will use the back door. The bad guys promised not to use it
Are they not learning from the U.S.??
Your government can, and will, eventually turn against you. Under no circumstances should more power be given to it to compromise your privacy.
Data from now will be used against you or your children 30, 50, 80 years from now by another fascist government. Don’t let that happen at an even broader scale
Are they not learning from the U.S.??
that’s exactly what they are doing
