I'm curious. Why are European Governments from the UK to Spain suddenly trying to ban end-to-end encryption.
I mean I would be extremely surprised if agencies such as the GCHQ were unable to crack or completely circumvent end-to-end encrypted messages (and any well-funded signals intelligence agency that claims it's unable to do so, should be required to give an accounting of what it spends it's budget on), so why the sudden desire to ban it?
Wouldn't it be better to give the bad guys a false sense of security to lull them into using seemingly secure end-to-end encrypted messaging apps, and then quietly gather evidence against them?
