EU Thugs Demand Chat Control, As US Thugs Promote Encryption

The article argues that the EU is moving to ban end-to-end encryption through the "Chat Control" bill, while the US is urging citizens to adopt encryption after Chinese hackers, dubbed "Salt Typhoon," breached communications systems. The bill, which critics call "Chat Control," would ban end-to-end encryption unless it includes a backdoor for government client-side scanning, and public voting on it is scheduled for Thursday, Dec 12. The article says the bill was originally killed after critics pointed out technical problems with ending encryption, and that the FBI is telling ordinary Americans to encrypt their chats.
