I have ranted against this many times, and I will say it one more time: the goal of war on encryption is not fight with terrorism. It is thought-policing. Terrorists have easy ways to talk to each other securely, using GPG and email, or even SSH for that matter. They don't need fancy apps, filters, masks, stickers and other UX candy. General population, on the other hand, wants these things, and uses a small number of apps that government wants to control. Turns out, not just in authoritarian countries, but in a supposedly democratic EU too. It is common people who are most affected by lack of privacy, and the goal is the same that STASI / KGB had: to filter out dissidents who might pose risk to those who are currenlty at the top. Such powers can be abused easily, and it special services will be granted such powers, they WILL be abused. So a duty of every free person is to fight such proposals and kill them outright.
