Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you
xthexder@l.sw0.com 2 weeks agoWhat does any of this have to do with the government forcing backdoors into otherwise encrypted chats? The point is that nobody but the recipient can read it, not even governments.

That people who can, do. Sometimes that means forcing others. Sometimes that means breaking good things for others. And sometimes locally that’s the lesser evil.
Anyway, I’ve described, why a truly competent well-meaning imagined government would possibly be doing this, and what would be one alternative for it without backdoors. An EU-wide intranet. Probably with outside communications whitelisted and analyzed similarly to the GFW of China.
It’s hypothetical, in reality, of course, we all should be judging to the best of our knowledge, not on imagination. Which means resisting such legislation.
