🚨Recent POLITICO Europe leak revealed that US and EU officials have agreed to cooperate on measures to turn public opinion against #encryption.
Experts' statements by EDRi and Global Encryption Coalition have called out against this plan:

@edri To those of us that have joined the fight against the immoral and illegal #ChatControl proposal, this comes as little surprise. But having it laid out so clearly is still chilling.
We need #encryption to stay safe. Consider that the US still restricts exports of encryption #technology. This means two things: they clearly understand the benefits for themselves. And they now want to put the citizens on the same level as "rogue nations": to spy on at will.
@interpeer @edri Precisely!
That's why #cyberfacism from #INDEVT to #PRISM and from "#ChatControl" to #ITAR / #USML & #WassenaarArrangement are being pushed.
All off these are as completely postfactual bs and will only be flexed against law-abiding citizens - just like gun legislation in the Post-#Luty & Post-#FGC9 era we live in!
