Because European tradition is to have strong bureaucracies steering the „democratic“ processes. And encryption is a wrench hitting those mechanisms. Another one is the raise of all sorts of independent journalists/bloggers/etc. Those themes keep recurring both on EU as well as national levels. Including nations that ain't EU members. As a citizen of EU member, I’d love to change this discourse. But there seems to be very few options to vote for. And then such BS happens at levels that are practically out of reach of democratical process.
