EU unmasked: Secret documents exposed bloc’s ‘draconian’ plans to ‘remotely stop cars’
The terrorist attacks perpetrated earlier this month in Austria and France have reopened the debate on end-to-end encryption offered by certain couriers. A draft resolution adopted by the EU Council could force courier apps to allow intelligence services and police investigators to bypass the end-to-end encryption they offer. To do this, the EU would force services such as WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram to provide backdoors allowing the authorities to monitor or trace the exchanges of people suspected of terrorism, or of individuals involved in online child pornography.
