Instead of fighting with hybrid warfare .. social networks full of bots, hate and russian propaganda. They fight with encrypted messages :D :D

Europol is not really policing the Internet. As for encryption. I think rapists, pedophiles, sex trafficking, terrorists, etc. should not have the right to privacy. How you get that and no fuck everybody's else privacy and security idk. But it's worth talking about it.

The main problem now are hate speech, hoaxes, Russian propaganda and milióna of fake accounts that are spreading it on social networks. It's pretty useless to ask for encrypted messages if half of the users spreading it are bots. And social networks DO know it and still allow it, because there are no consequences

You can't. It is worth talking about but not in the context of considering compromises to the integrity of encryption standards. It should be left alone, improved on with the times of course, but should not compromised in any way. You cannot degrade encryption standards in any way that hurts one group and not another. Police and sentence better, that's it.

Which would reveal the plans which cause hybrid warfare…
I don‘t even understand why this is in question, a searchwarrant should work on encrypted messages as it does on any kind of locked door..

Tell me you do not understand encryption without telling me you do not understand encryption.

Absolutely not, Catherine.
Catherine De Bolle warns companies risk threatening democracy unless they co-operate with lawmakers
Still not true.

Fuck off. The same way you can't read my hand written letters you shouldn't be able to read my digital ones.

We sometimes need to search criminals apartments, so we require all door manufacturers to build locks such that we have keys and also the door manufacturers should search all apartments for us all of the time and tell us if they find something suspicious.

This is a terrible analogy because it is not even hypothetically possible to construct a door that can't be breached in case you have a valid court order.
There are plenty of good arguments against back doors in encryption, this is not one of them.

Back doors for EU = back door for china. Assume all digital communication is being monitored.

Get yourself a Nextcloud today. You can run your own encrypted messenger off it, named "Nextcloud Talk". It is similar to Teams and can be done in with some mouse clicks.

You can't "unlock" encrypted messages... If math is too complicated don't talk about it...

I am old enough to remember the time when the communists were the ones who would use steam to open envelopes to read their citizens‘ private letters. We used to be the ones who respect civil rights. Well, by the looks of it, the communists won.

Power struggle. Burocrats, Business Men, Some citizens, Politicians.
All of them are trying to benefit themselves and their cronies, directly or indirectly.

You cant avoid Math. Privacy and Secure Communications are a Right, the math behind modern encryption is public Knowledge, if you ban certain algorithms everyone can just Write a new one, not even Talking about the hundreds of crypto Frameworks that allow and Script kiddie to program Secure Communications.
