Everybody should slam that, not only experts
Any politician who is pro encryption backdoor is pretty much dead to me because encryption back doors are just a completely brain dead policy that has no merit even if you completely ignore any moral or ethical concerns.
Oh my fucking god, can they stop already? They've been protested to hell and back like 5 times already about exactly this issue.
I really hope someone exposes their secret affairs to prove why encryption is important.
Does anyone keep track of the times? I feel like this is happenning about 2-3 times per year the last years
Call me cynical, but unless something removes these people from power, they'll keep trying until people get tired of hearing about it and stop opposing it.
Best things we can do are: keep being loud about it each time, look out for sophisticated attempts to sneak it into law elsewhere, and don't let it distract from a potentially even worse move.

They'll keep trying until encryption is illegal
The politicians and lobbyists should unencrypt their data first to show us how safe it is.
Please slam the respective politicians and lobbyists too.
I'm having a hard time believing the EU cant afford a $5 wrench for decryption
