When has the EU mandated encryption backdoors?

They keep trying it via e.g. chat control

  • The US has also tried it multiple times. So has Canada. It's been shut down each time. This isn't a unique to the EU problem.

    • Didn't UK had "The Snooper's Charter" as well?

      Encryption backdoors is not a case of extending reach for a government, but an effort to get the capabilities back.

      They were able to do that before. They just want to be able to continue now.

      Note: No, I don't support the idea of backdoors. On the contrary.
