[[EN]] "You Will Be Impacted –

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union."

– Double standards in an EU initiative to monitor private messaging chats (which obviously necessitates outlawing end-to-end encryption for consumer apps!) – quote: "EU politicians exempt themselves from this surveillance under 'professional secrecy' rules."

Contact your representatives and voice your grievances! They _should_ know how you feel – it's their job, let's not forget that.

This isn't an EU fight as such.
This is a global fight, no matter if you live in a democracy, or if that democracy is any good.

This isn't about children or sexual predators at all. Or terrorism, national interests or whatever reason they choose from the bundle next.

Global Encryption Day: Any backdoor would do more harm than good.

By demanding encryption backdoors, politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security.

US Senators Introduce 'Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act' — With Backdoor Mandate | News Bitcoin News

US lawmakers have introduced the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act to ensure law enforcement can access encrypted information. This bill is "a full-frontal nuclear assault on encryption in the United States," one expert says. It requires manufacturers of encrypted devices and operating systems to have the ability to decrypt data upon request, creating a backdoor requirement.
