    It’s neat you’ve invented a bunch of horror stories while citing anecdotes that have nothing to do with this bill. It’s definitely working wonders for your knowledge and veracity on the subject.

      Anecdotes that have nothing to do with this Bill? Are you trying to add blindness to ignorance to your list of character traits? Those quotes are taken from a EU response paper to the proposed Chat Control EU legislation. In respect of encrypted chat messaging, the two Bills are virtually identical. But, again, I wouldn’t expect you to know this as you’ve performed no research on the subject whatsoever.

      And those are not invented horror stories, they are lived realities for people who are in very difficult life circumstances. But you don’t need to care about their lives do you? All that matters is that you can go on living in ignorance.

        Because nobody is taking encryption away from your therapist app, jfc.

        They want the companies themselves to be able to read the content to check for illegal activity. That’s not the same thing as ending encryption and thus allowing me and you to read each others messages.

          I can’t explain it to you again. At this point you’re either simply choosing to not understand or you’re actually stupid. Either way, go troll somewhere else, I’m done with you.
