My question is: even if EU manages to apply laws for backdooring encryption, wouldn’t cybercriminals just use different tools? They may force Signal to backdoor its encryption, but what about Briar? Will they backdoor the Tor network? Will they ban it entirely? What about Matrix? They can’t prevent offshore encrypted instances.
Signal said they will just pull out of any country that demands a back door.
Back doors don’t work. Just ask American telecom companies to talk about how easy it was to get Salt Typhoon out of their back door.
“the eu is becoming a bastion of privacy”
yeah my ass
There really should be a law where the EU gets fined everytime they waste time bringing up the same proposal that has already been shut down multiple times.
Not fined, just banned.
Porke nos los dos? (Or something, my Spanish is rusty)
You want to do what with two lost pigs?
I almost forgot the monthly “let’s make encryption illegal” from the EU.
It’s sad and against our supposed values. Who proposed this this time? Was it the same MEP?
let’s make encryption illegal*
*for the peasantry, of course.
They really love the idea of giving the political class an exception.
