Kids or Privacy: The EU’s Encryption Dilemma – How Safe Laws May Harm More Than Help

Hot Take:

Oh, the tangled web we weave when first we practice to protect the children. The EU seems to be trying to unwrap the end-to-end encryption present with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, potentially trading away privacy for security. The chat control law is like saying, "We believe in your right to lock your doors, as long as we can peek through your windows." It's the digital equivalent of a helicopter parent with a master key to every diary. And if Signal's head honcho Meredith Whittaker is to be believed, it's not just helicopter parenting; it's full-on surveillance state vibes with a fresh coat of paint. Time to buckle up, Europe, this ride might just get a little Orwellian.
