    The title is missing a second part: "after China, the US, Russia, the UK, etc.".

    I get that privacy is potentially in danger if chatcontrol passes (ie. it's not right now) and that to raise awareness is worthwhile, but misrepresenting one of the best places privacy-wise as "one of the greatest threats" is just dishonest.

    The EU is interesting because there is the GDPR that has good data privacy protection but then they keep bringing up chat control which completely undermines privacy

      "They" being some proponents starting with Ylva Johansson, but it's also true that they have never had a majority to actually make chat control happen. They keep trying, but "they" are not the EU as a whole.

        As part of its efforts, the bloc has repeatedly introduced its Chat Control legislation, aimed at weakening the encryption that protects messaging services and force providers to provide a client-side backdoor for law enforcement.

          Never probably, these are law proposals.

          They have never been voted in, as the majority of EU doesnt want them.

          So makes sure to vote in politicans that wont, so we can keep it that way.

            EU has the best privacy laws, only behind Switzerland.

            They will not be close to the greatest threat, but it will still be a step back.

            Also, these are proposals that has not been voted in ever before. So be sure to vote for politicians that wont, so we can keep it that way.

              None of those countries are trying to dismantle encryption entirely so no, I disagree.

                      That's OK. In this context theft is art.

                        Well, the UK sure is trying, and the US was also thinking about it (never got to law-making at least)

                          Through Sweden. If they want it, they can commit Swexit.

                            I'm sorry, what now?

                            There is no place on this earth with better privacy protection laws

                            Yeah, it's still far from perfect but to call ot the greatest threat is just disingenuous, it's a lie. It's shouting FIRE in a movie theater because someone smokes. Stop doing this shit

                              Accidental self-own admitting to everyone you haven’t been paying attention to the EU’s aggressive software backdoor agenda.

                              If you don’t have privacy from the government, you don’t have privacy.

                                Privacy from whom? Privacy from corporations means nothing if you have zero privacy from a neoliberal corporate government.

                                  No, those countries are not enshrining in law the requirement for backdoors to serve your own government, for which you’ll be required to comply.

                                    Because they support limited privacy from corporations, but zero privacy from government. The neoliberals don’t consider that a double standard.

                                      You always have to balance it with law enforcement. Being at the mercy of criminals, life savings stolen by scammers, etc is not freedom.

                                          Which of them are blocking EU attempts to mandate government backdoors?
