## Summary

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.

European Union looking to ban e2ee, while the US is forced to embrace it

Opposite reactions from corrupt government thugs.

European Union

In the EU, a bill dubbed “Chat Control” by critics, seeks to ban end-to-end encryption, unless it has a backdoor for government client-side scanning. [1]

This controversial bill was originally killed, after critics pointed out the technical issues with ending encryption. [2]

Coming up on Thursday, Dec 12, there will be public voting on the issue. [3]

United States

In the US, Chinese hackers have infiltrated the phone lines, And FBI is telling ordinary Americans to encrypt their chats. [4]

Dubbed “Salt Typhoon” these Chinese attacks have forced US law enforcement to reverse their previously harsh stance on encryption. These supposed Chinese actors have allegedly hacked multiple communications systems, in which US officials can’t stop. So instead, US thugs beg their citizens to use end-to-end encryption tools, to reduce their negligent incompetence. [4]

Therefore,

We should all be grateful for Chinese hackers, as they have forced political leaders to realize the problems with forcing insecure technology on their citizens.

THE CHINESE ARE LOOKING AT THE EU AND THINKING “this is gonna be awesome”

Insane Logic

Now the justification for this EU ban on encryption is to “save the children”. They claim it’ll stop child porn.

But if they ban all web encryption, how do I even know that the government said this? I need httpS SSL encryption to know this is an official government proclamation.

If they allow httpS encryption, then child pornographers can just run their own VPS and shadowsocks into it with chat apps on Linux. While the general population won’t bother and lose privacy.

So the only way to really enforce this is if the government will still have encryption, but not the rest of us.

And this is supposed to save the children?!? As though politicians never did anything wrong, right Jeffrey Epstein?

**misha**: I signed so many petitions against this, hope it helps ;) It is a stupid dangerous idea, if it’s rational people voting the vote will be against this.
