The EU initiative Going Dark has now been launched by the EU Commission. They call it ProtectEU. It’s a rebranding of Chat Control.

I don't get why this whole Chat Control saga is not making more people aware that they're not living in a democracy by their own definition. The overwhelming majority doesn't want it, experts are against it (just the fact that introducing backdoors in encryption makes it abusable for everyone). And yet ever few years it comes up again, because the Oligarchs know that they only need to win once to permanently destroy any semblance of online privacy while the people need to strike this law down every time.

How can anyone think that this is a good system?
