Please read the underlying documents and not this fearmongering. There is no such plan.
Just click the first link titled 'upcoming plans for communication surveillance' and actually read the document (or just CTRL-F 'encryption') to see how misleading this lobby letter is. It is a communication about child porn/abuse outlining measures for prevention, rehabilitation, etc. It doesn't say anything about banning encryption, just as one of many points it points out that increased encryption is making detection of child porn/abuse difficult and that government and industry should set up an expert group to discuss what can be done without breaking privacy.
So total bs article. I used to be a customer at mailbox but am right now very happy I moved away already...
- fossuser 6y agoYeah - this linked article is total bullshit, at best it's misleading political spin arguing in bad faith. This is the actual proposal: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/interim-regulation-processing-personal-and-other-data-purpose-combatting-child-sexual-abuse https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/interim-reg... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26826599 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26826599 I think when we something that plays right into an existing confirmation bias it's important to be extra skeptical of its claims to offset that.
