Additionally, the Commission envisions expanding Europol's role, effectively transforming it into a European equivalent of the FBI, with enhanced operational capabilities.

Granting Europol the ability to access encrypted data can only mean one thing: Brussels is proposing some form of government-mandated backdoor for communication platforms protected by end-to-end encryption.

Your government can, and will, eventually turn against you. Under no circumstances should more power be given to it to compromise your privacy.

Data from now will be used against you or your children 30, 50, 80 years from now by another fascist government. Don't let that happen at an even broader scale
