"the EU wants to scan your messages" implies its every member state and not one freak from Denmark putting this forward where it will die. The EU has always been 90 days from passing mass surveliance for the last decade. Until member states start actually backing this these articles are nothing but click bait.

They haven't passed this yet, because every time people make noise and write their representatives. It's "clickbait" like this that makes any sort of privacy still possible.
Awareness is good but there is a fine line between awareness of specific politicians that suck and just misrepresenting the facts.
Why does this stupid idea have to be killed so many times? Being watched constantly means living in fear, but seeing it almost become legally mandated practice over and over again is itself a form of living in fear. I'm so tired.
I just don't get it - criminals will just continue to use "real" encryption. Why are some of these people so obsessed with reading everyone's chats?
It is not about "the criminals", it is about control. They want you to self-censor "wrongthink" in any space. The rise of totalitairianism in the EU is very real.

Anything that eventually passes will be extremely toothless.

Open source will find a way around it; there's no reason to be afraid. Unless one day their spyware is installed at the hardware level but that would be the equivalent of raiding our homes, so that's not very likely.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Promoting awareness of an upcoming scam is good. It keeps us aware of how stupid the powers that be are.
Normalizing it and saying it is a mundane topic 30 years is actually helping these powers to install it, like getting tired over time and ending just accepting it. The reaction should be much stronger from the tech companies but the tech companies are actually supporters of it, just so they can continue hoarding money while violating other laws. -> Discord/Google/Meta/etc are already scanning the private chats for pi…
Nothing will come of this. Germany, for some reason, really doesn't like the idea of monitoring citizens messages. Anything that eventually passes will be extremely toothless.
