Knowing some of the fucks in the EU parliament it certainly won't stop them from trying. It is very reassuring to know that the courts are aware of what fuckery some of the politicians are trying to pull and are actively moving to prevent the abuse from happening.
I don't think the politicians who advocate for weakening of encryption see it as fuckery, but rather that they are "preventing terrorism", "stopping criminal networks" and, of course, "working to prevent child sex abuse". And so do the people who support them.
yeah, and they're all wrong
Right, right. Sure.
And I was born yesterday.
Those are the arguments they use. Damn few, if any, actually believe those arguments.
Do you mind sharing what you believe they think they're doing then?
The parliament has spoken against "chat control" as well AFAIK. The Commission, however, is probably still trying to find a way to eliminate privacy in whichever way they can.
