"Top Eurocops are appealing for help from lawmakers to undermine a privacy-enhancing technology (PET) they say is hampering criminal investigations – and it's not end-to-end encryption this time. Not exactly.
Europol published a position paper today highlighting its concerns around SMS home routing – the technology that allows telcos to continue offering their services when customers visit another country."

@BeAware I also went looking through a few accounts which appeared from there before, and a lot of them were once active but didn't appear to be any more. It's not thorough though.

Hmm... One of these domains (not the top ones) does not appear to be for a "CSAM website" (it is probably a website for 3D models and one of these orgs they partner with has been known for doing things like this before, in any case, there has been reporting that it is not an illegal site). Another is unlikely to be, although there is insufficient information.
As for the rest, I can't appraise them. I'm going to take their word for it that they are.

https://edri.org/about-us/our-team/ Barely any free expression expertise (particularly outside of "misinformation").
One of the dumbest takes I've seen from someone advocating against rights is that if the government over-reaches then someone can "just vote for someone else". #FreeSpeech #privacy
