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