Additionally, the Commission envisions expanding Europol's role, effectively transforming it into a European equivalent of the FBI, with enhanced operational capabilities.

Granting Europol the ability to access encrypted data can only mean one thing: Brussels is proposing some form of government-mandated backdoor for communication platforms protected by end-to-end encryption.

Exactly. Introducing vulnerabilities to everyone means that foreign powers will be able to use it to spy on EU citizens as well. Fucking bananas.
