Additionally, the Commission envisions expanding Europol's role, effectively transforming it into a European equivalent of the FBI, with enhanced operational capabilities.
Granting Europol the ability to access encrypted data can only mean one thing: Brussels is proposing some form of government-mandated backdoor for communication platforms protected by end-to-end encryption.
So, these are centre-Left politicians, correct? So, why are they doing this? For our 'safety? ' Right...

'democracy'
'backdoor'

These politicians need a lesson in civics. You are not building safeguards that stop nazis, you are building the nazi “person finding” infrastructure for them before they even get in power.

The centre left keeps doing it:
Remember: Obama set up the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections. Obama also put SOPA on the menu.
They keep digging the hole Russians will bury them in.

It's been what, 12 years now ? If there's a time to be more motivated than ever to push back, it's now. Look at all the cyberattacks happening against developped countries. In the past 2 years i've participated in 4 mandates to build back up companies hit by these attacks, and 2 times out of the 4, the decryption keys provided to us by the FBI we're not even working.
That is why we need strong encryption from the start. They don't understand anything at this whole mess to be pushing this for decades.

For all the talk that Obama did, great job of showing that he is a sell out by extending the Patriot Act and all the spying that it allows.

Or, the most obvious, less moving parts answer is that they are corrupt and only will push policies and fear mongering that will keep them in power. Irrelevant if they are Left or Right.
You are being too kind if you think they are not 100% aware of what they are doing. They do not need a lesson in Civics, they need to be replaced.

Every year we have summer
Every year we have a bunch of dip shits believing encryption isn't necessary
Every year we have a bunch of dumb idiots proposing that it is very doable to build a secure backdoor into encryption
Every year....
We need to make encryption a constitutional human right in the entirety of Europe

Australia already has these laws.
The Prime Minister said the laws of mathematics don't apply

or like the anti-pirate bill from a few years back that had more votes than politicians and no one gave a shit or even remembers that little insane corruption.
Need a source on this one, I want to read up on this.
