The EU seriously need to reconsider this, its a very dangerous move and not even technically possible.
If this continues, we will get a society like russia and china
The EU has become a power hungry tyrant. It’s a damn joke. Abolish the EU.
Backdoors in encryption is such a fuggn bad idea. People who have something to hide will use real encryption and the data of all the others could just be sold instead of pretending.
I know my takes are universally unliked here, but does anyone else need any more convincing that the EU/Europe/Continent/Continent-Russia/Eurozone/EEC is, at its very core, just a regulatory state established to tax and stifle innovation in the name of “safety”?
“Would make European security worse” is a vast understatement. “Weakening encryption” doesn’t really work like that – it’s either end-to-end encrypted, or it isn’t. If police are allowed to have access to encryption keys, then all it takes is one criminal becoming a police officer, and everyone’s data will be leaked to the criminals.
Those that want backdoors should be branded as putin’s useful idiots at best, actual agents, at worst. It’s obvious that any such implementation will be susceptible for state level actors, with russia proving time and time again being the one to engage into both state level hacking and private companies openly engaging into blackmail and cyber-terrorism.
Can we pls just accept that the internet is a virtual wild west and there are no laws?
Normies should just leave the internet alone.
This is a case of safety vs freedom where safety is getting too much support.
“chat control” “to protect our kids”, anybody? Signal already stated they will leave if this happens.
[“We will not walk back” – Signal would rather leave the UK and Sweden than remove encryption protections](https://www.techradar.com/computing/cyber-security/we-will-not-walk-back-signal-would-rather-leave-the-uk-and-sweden-than-remove-encryption-protections)
This is one of the many reasons I’m hesitant of the EU and something like a Federalized Europe.
Fucking nannystate.
Anything the average citizen can do to protest this?
I don’t like gubberment involving into peer to peer when it’s not a peer. Leave people alone to interact between them you have means of teaching them what’s right and what’s wrong in other ways.
Don’t even try, Europe. Even ignoring the privacy issues, that’s how you get criminal backdoors.
Simply just incompetent idiots.
Remember the US cell phone hack? Hackers exploited a similar backdoor. This is so recent that it blows my mind that they still want to push this. And it’s the EU, they will keep pushing until they get their way.

Who are these bastards that tries to push this crap all the time? people that try to undermine cyber security of a continent to catch some bad guys?
This idea is so bad even american politicians decided it’s not a good idea. And you can’t really be dumber and more stubborn than that.
talk about an own goal…
Of course its the comission. This is our national leaders who do this in the EU so they wont be blamed
They can’t comprehend that the key only you have to open all the doors can be copied by a nefarious actor without their knowledge and open all the doors to the thieves.
This is insane. If you want an ‘entry point’ to enforce the law on the Internet, we already have technology for that, it’s called a domain name.
We shall focus on the security risk brought in by the outsiders, instead of spying on our people.
That’s so stupid I don’t have words.
Force everyone to use encryption that has intentional vulnerabilities? Everyone will be on this day one. How long do you think until we get a CVE? Idiots.
