False. If the Commission accepts it, there is still time and room to fight it. Furthermore, your logic would also apply if some random person on the street proposed this.
My point is that legislation can exist in a variety of stages. In the extreme case where we get stressed and angry at every proposal that any politician comes up with, we waste our energy instead of letting the specific systems introduced and thought up to mitigate issues with such proposals do the job efficiently.
Said otherwise: In some cases it effectively becomes crying wolf and makes people numb to and averse to hearing about it. As said, though: I am ambivalent towards news like this. In some cases we need to 'tell, tell, tell' to get the point through. It's a fine line, I think.
- procaryote 1y agoThis is hardly a random person on the street or some single politician. It's a concerted effort by several countries that has been narrowly defeated several times because they keep pushing for it. Besides, getting people up to speed with the idea that backdoored encryption is no encryption is pretty useful in itself, as similar proposals will keep popping up in member countries. But sure, it's not the very last chance.
