The EU’s HLG (High Level Group) now considers VPNs among “key challenges” to investigative work.
End-to-end encryption is also mentioned in the final report as the biggest technical challenge
Experts are calling for restraint and consideration on the measures, fearing civilians will carry “state spyware in their pockets”
Let me guess those lawmakers themselves will communicate with uncompromised encryption, it is only everyone else that will require a backdoor making all data passing essentially unencrypted. For a second guess let me suggest those lawmakers will not imagine themselves in any way personally responsible for all the data lost by individuals as a result of their proposed measures.
Rules for thee and all of that…
last time I checked it was still kept in secret who are the members of the HLG
