There is no such thing as a backdoor for good guys. Once you place a backdoor, you compromise the safety and privacy of all your users. A third party or bad guys will get access to it and abuse it further. The concept of a “backdoor for good guys” is fundamentally flawed and dangerous. It sets a dangerous precedent. Security and privacy should be absolute. There’s no safe way to create a backdoor that can’t be exploited by malicious actors. #privacy #security #infosec

    @nixCraft People still think that #EU bureaucrats are “good guys”.

    They are not. Those who advocate the introduction of a backdoor are not “good guys”. In fact, these are the “malicious actors” you are talking about.

    #chatcontrol is only a manifestation of the fascist tendencies of EU bureaucrats.

    Therefore, full rejection of CC is not enough. Europeans need a law that protects their #privacy. Otherwise, the “good guys” will try with next versions of CC, again and again, until they succeed.
