 EU Parliament committee rejects mass scanning of private and encrypted communications


“On 14th November, Members of the European Parliament’s ‘Civil Liberties’ committee voted against attempts from EU Home Affairs officials to roll out mass scanning of private and encrypted messages across Europe. It was a clear-cut vote, with a significant majority of MEPs supporting the proposed position.”

 Our overlords decided to not scan each an every encrypted private interaction we have, this time. 

Yay, I guess.

 Oh, the generous "representatives of the people", lmao. 

Unfortunate they chickened out - it would have backfired spectacularly, bringing more people to freedom tech. They know it would, naturally.
