Recently every crime seems to make legislators think it's time to tighten the grip and introduce more laws to fix societal problems, which remain the same, while I and everyone else is forced to abide by more and more absurd laws. Most recently when criminals went all-out in Austria with guns the police later admitted they knew the attacker was shopping for ammo. What would change if the police knew they were chit-chatting by tapping into their coms as a man-in-the-middle. Likely they would be saying after the attack they were hating the state over whatever-chat while the attacks would happen nontheless. By banning encryption nothing would change but the potential for abuse is incredible. What we need is less legislation, that actually has some measurable positive effect. It would also help if EU was way more aggressive against countries that sponsored various terrorist groups, overthrew governments and pushed some middleeastern countries back into the dark ages.
