Europol issues a press release (after a meeting in the U.K. of all places, which is not a member of the E.U.) voicing their opposition to end-to-end encryption.

It's not really anything new though, they've always been big fans of mass surveillance with nothing in the way of safeguards.

As you might expect, they walk their parade of terribles to try to intimidate people, and even manage to betray the fact that their intention is to engage in very dubious accuracy profiling. Take note of that.

Auch wenn es bei der #Chatkontrolle nicht voran geht. #Europol hat klare Vorstellungen was mit Verschlüsselung zutun ist, am besten einfach verbiet...

It's also rather curious that grand pronouncements like this, which presumably would have huge negative ramifications for human rights if they were implemented, are made after an "unofficial meeting" of all things. Don't you find it curious?
