Your mass surveillance agenda is in a bad place if even liberal economic think tanks are calling it out.
„Police authorities and governments are calling for digital backdoors for investigative purposes - and the EU Commission is listening. The Centre for European Policy (cep) warns against a weakening of digital #encryption. The damage to cyber security, fundamental rights and trust in digital infrastructures would be enormous.“

@pneutig the EU Commission is not only "listening" it is proposing and propagating it.
@chiefbongo Personally I think of it as an echo chamber, in which surveillance proponents within each institution reference the others to legitimise for why they keep proposing their attacks on encryption.
@pneutig I agree with you. However, I’m concerned about the personal connections and engagements between certain Commissioners, former Commissioners, and politicians with Thorn and other organisations. They have crossed the line imo.
