The EU initiative Going Dark has now been launched by the EU Commission. They call it ProtectEU.

It’s a rebranding of Chat Control. New name. Same old propaganda.

The EU Commission’s goal is to “access encrypted data in a lawful manner, safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.”

ENIGMATICO

@mullvadnet Can the EU explain to me how is this going to help law enforcement, exactly? Because if Im a terrorist and I am planing an attack, I can easily send a message without anyone noticing by simply sending a seemingly inoffensive message using specific keywords that only the people I'd be working with knows. And I dont need E2EE for this. Not to mention, PGP, LUKS, etc, are a thing. I can simply sign a text file or something with PGP, or create a loop file as a device and make a LUKS container on it, and share the file.

So I ask again, what good is this thing going to do?
