> In 2026, the Commission will present a Technology Roadmap on encryption to identify and evaluate solutions that enable lawful access to encrypted data by law enforcement, while safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.

There is no such thing as a secure backdoor, so I wonder how they will "safeguard cybersecurity" (hint: they won't).

    Don't worry, this is fine because backdoors will only be used to spy against right wing people and parties or those engaging in hate speech, so you have nothing to fear if you're on their side and only say government approved things. This is the only way we can fight fascism.

        So you're pointing out one unrelated article from the UK gov actions of 1986 on a NGO as proof that EU is somehow anti-left politics? lol If you knew the UK gov, they don't like communism and communists especially during Thatcher, so any such NGOs would de under scrutiny, but that's a different issue than left wing politics.

        How about looking at EU's polices and behavior as a whole and see where they are.

        Why are European governments like Germany and France banning right wing candidates from elections, authorizing the use of spyware on them, or forming a "cordon sanitaire" around them even though most of their policies are the common sense left wing ones of the 1990s (no illegal immigration, strict legal immigration)?

        EU today is by and large ideologically captured by super left wing and against anything remotely right.

            You mean the same commission that disregarded precedent, to instead exclude right wing members at a time when they are getting more votes?

            You're operating under the old left vs right definition when it's obviously shifted towards globalism vs national sovereignty. Nobody believes the left stands for supporting the laborers and their interests anymore.

        Things have changed in forty years, you know. The pendulum is back on the other side.

                  The CDU has moved from very right to less right, but still right-of-center under Merkel. After Merkel they have moved back right, maybe even more than they were to compete with the extremists.
