I don't understand how it's in any way feasible. Do none of these people own laptops with sensitive business or political information? How do they think they're going to protect any of it without strong encryption? Or all the sensitive data on their phones or other mobile devices? How do you secure anything ever against espionage without strong encryption? Have these people not put any thought into this?
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoI imagine exceptions will be built into the laws exempting certain government agencies and businesses or types of business.

- AnssiH 5y agoAFAICS no one is trying to literally ban encryption, the headline seems very exaggerated to me. Looking at some of the EU documents linked, I don't see any real intention to ban E2E encrypted communications - at most the documents are saying that child abusers using E2EE is a problem, or explaining various technical possibilities to try to catch them (with or without breaking E2EE). I'll be concerned when there is an actual proposal mandating backdoors or banning encryption.
