There needs to be a messaging app which provides a backdoor for every government that requests it. Every time some dumbass legislator asks for a super-giga-secure-backdoor they promise not to misuse, they should be directed to that app.
Is this law broad enough to also catch up Proton and its services?
This attack by governments on encryption is getting more and more concerning.
And now it starts. Programs specifically designed to be encrypted getting attacked.
“Now”? Apps like Signals are constantly under fire. Whitaker already told the whole EU it would just leave if they introduced the “chat control” legislation.
