Europol advocates breaking end-to-end encryption again. Because last time, the argument to protect children did not work, this time they do it in the context of "stolen identity data." By Europol's logic, access to the chats would prevent selling this data. This, instead of, for example, making those corporations that leak identity data responsible for their actions. A kind reminder that a state where the police make the laws is called a police state. https://www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/newsroom/news/steal-deal-repeat-cybercriminals-cash-in-your-data

🤦 well then, @xmtp ftw, and we can put those tendencies to rest 🙂. "can't be evil" (or a police state) and move on.

well they'd make it illegal then to use anything not complying by law and prosecute companies and inviduals working at these companies, prohibit any distribution whatsoever, and maybe even threaten with fines to any users that dare contradict it.

If privacy is outlawed, only criminals have privacy. It's trivial to have a messenger application running from Cambodia or P2P which Europol cannot get its hands on. Meanwhile all European citizens are exposed to questionable surveillance.

conceptually, maybe. But that is a loooooot harder to execute. Fighting open source p2p software really doesn't have a very good track record.
