Europe proposes backdoors in encrypted platforms under new security strategy
-
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.

security researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that implementing so-called "lawful" backdoors is inherently flawed as such vulnerabilities would inevitably be discovered, accessed, and exploited by cybercriminals and black-hat hackers.
Yes, that. Every time this comes up, it requires a rehashing of just how dramatically bad it is as a practice. There’s no such as a “back door only for the good guys”
Notably, the European Commission makes no mention of new partnership initiatives with the United States.
Probably wise.

Don't do it, Europe. Listen to your experts.

Yeah, "detect alignment" is not a call available in any standard library.

It's basically the Chatkontrolle (Chat Control - wiretapping into ones communications under the guise of child protection and terrorism), that was prevented successfully so far, but with a different name. This ist just another attempt to introduce mass surveillance.

ANY backdoor WILL be exploited. Just a matter of time. IDIOTS.
