The European Union, once praised for its pro-privacy legislation, is now leading the charge toward a future with less privacy, one where the government can use your devices to spy on you.

As part of its efforts, the bloc has repeatedly introduced its Chat Control legislation, aimed at weakening the encryption that protects messaging services and force providers to provide a client-side backdoor for law enforcement.

    The EU is interesting because there is the GDPR that has good data privacy protection but then they keep bringing up chat control which completely undermines privacy

      Because they support limited privacy from corporations, but zero privacy from government. The neoliberals don’t consider that a double standard.
