EU High Level Group (established by EU commission) recommends forcing all devices in the EU to be sold with ”integrated Law Enforcement access” and sanctioning non-EU approved messaging services
"We should sanction non-approved messaging services because they are open to abuse by foreign governments." Sure. What about USA putting backdoors into things and the backdoors being used by said foreign governmemts? What a terrible argument.
The same argument of “lawful acces to data while ensuring the rights to privacy and security” keeps popping up. I just can’t fit into my head how one can ensure my right to privacy while actively enabeling the undermining of said right. Have none of the “experts” taken Cybersecurity 101 or read just [one article detailing why it is impossible to “just let the good guys decrypt the bad guys’ encrypted data”] (https://mullvad.net/en/chatcontrol/stop-chatcontrol). Maybe I’m just missing something.
This commission is just making the far-right’s panties wet. This non-sense, delaying and watering down many environmental policies. The inhuman anti-immigration stuff. It is saddening really.
