That this kind of thing is on the table shows how short our memories are. After the Snowden revelations (among others), now governments expect us to believe they have pure intentions when it comes to breaking encryption?
Those stories land on the table when we’ve already lost. We have the entire state apparatus weighing all its might in favor of one side, and we’re trying to collect citizen’s opinions to show that what the EU does isn’t derived from power voluntarily granted by the peons. Sorry, by the « voting citizen ».
