The same argument of “lawful acces to data while ensuring the rights to privacy and security” keeps popping up. I just can’t fit into my head how one can ensure my right to privacy while actively enabeling the undermining of said right. Have none of the “experts” taken Cybersecurity 101 or read just [one article detailing why it is impossible to “just let the good guys decrypt the bad guys’ encrypted data”] (https://mullvad.net/en/chatcontrol/stop-chatcontrol). Maybe I’m just missing something.
