 Once again we are facing an attack on our basic rights. The member states of the European Union are currently discussing how to build a backdoor into your communication. Encryption is a cornerstone of the digital society. Everything from private entertainment to business secrets is protected with encryption. Of course, security authorities lick their fingers after these accesses. With a backdoor into the most private conversations, it would be possible to achieve almost complete surveillance. This runs counter to a democratic society. Journalists and whistleblowers, just like us, must be sure that they are not being watched by the state. What dictators and other groups do with these back doors once they are created is inconceivable. Many democracy movements worldwide will have to pay the price for the blind activism of the European states. We remember, for example, that China broke open the encrypted chats of activists in Hong Kong. Many services like Signal have so far defied the pressure of dictatorships, but whether they will withstand the possible pressure of the EU remains to be seen.
