Europe and Australia will both not break encryption! We’ve interviewed Patrick Breyer – the guy who coined the term Chat Control – on why privacy matters.


Action taken by privacy activists and citizens stops the push for mass surveillance.

These are closed door meetings with no participation of of experts and usually experience shows that parliament has a tendency to give in to get the agreement of the others and it would be faced with both the commission and a council that both endorse Chat Control so that that would be very dangerous for negotiations to be in a situation like that.
