    The Verge[^]:

    The proposal, which is aimed at preventing child sexual abuse material, would essentially break encryption.

    "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

        I suspect they'll drop it once they figure out that they are legislating Pi (Indiana Pi Bill). Then we just have to teach the new lawmakers every 5 years the same basics of encryption so they don't try to do the same thing. It just doesn't matter. Unless we really want to give up writing/installing any app we want, these people would just use a different app or some weird unknown homebrew/darkweb stuff. Just push firmware/OS trojans to suspected specific devices (with warrants or judicial say-so). And/or Do like the FBI did with their ultimate drug dealer cellphones and spin-up some services purpose-built to snare these folks and target market those apps to suspects.

          This keeps coming up. Europe and the US are both horrible at this. As far the "it's for the children" claim, this claim has been used to destroy more personal freedoms than any other single claim in the history of western civilization. Anytime you hear it, be very, very wary of the goal here as it's never for the children, but rather it's to control you.
