The problem is that some other governments are saying: We'll force Telegram to help us decrypt users' traffic (i.e. they are aiming to weaken the technical architectures of end-to-end encrypted services such as Telegram and Signal that currently make that impossible).

EU Proposes Enforcing Data Encryption and Banning Backdoors

your confusion probably arises from the fact that "tabled" means the opposite in the US (where I am guessing you are from based the usage) as it does everywhere else.
Backdoors are asinine. Look how many flaws become backdoors and how they are exploited, and some never patched.
Having ANY vulnerability in ANY system, welcomes abusers and lessens security for all people that use that system, and anyone that is referenced in that system.

As opposed to all those unelected people in Business ?
Multinationals can have a far bigger impact in your life and you have no control/rights over them.
After WWII, the world let in by the thousands immigrants from Europe.
People's private conversations should remain private, I wholeheartedly support e to e encryption to be law. Governments need to take responsibility for terrorism as its their fault entirely. The people had nothing to do with going to war in the Middle East. I'm sorry but spying on the public even for counterterrorism is unacceptable. Governments should learn that their actions abroad are what caused this mess in the first place and they're going to have to accept that they're gonna have to fix it not just try and prevent future acts. Say sorry, communicate and heal the wounds. Lack of empathy in politics saddens me and I end up asking why are they so cold and heartless.
How's the weather in Trumpland? Do you need help to build that wall.
Snowden and Durov argue over security of WhatsApp & Telegram
Basically what the EU is saying, everybody switch to Telegram!
Kind of thought you might offer help with building a wall.
That's because her boss is the old Home Secretary who also didn't understand that.
To be honest, I haven't seen *any* politician that's been in the Home Office have the slightest idea about "t'interweb". The idea of banning encryption is the typical "We must be seen to do something. This is something, therefore we'll do it" type of reaction. It wasn't too long ago that the then-Home Secretary (whose name rhymes with Meresa Tay) proposed that all traffic should be trackable, and websites, email addresses logged. Now, anyone with even the most basic of experience in the real world will know that there is no way that international companies would agree to this. Imagine the likes of Apple, Philips, Dell, 3M, etc etc, purposely having their security weakened. It wouldn't happen. Anyone on the road for a company like that uses VPNs to allow access to the office servers for documentation, software, servers, etc. We need politicians who either know how the real world works, or at least to listenb to advisors who know this stuff. Instead, we have MPs, Ministers, and a PM who have basically come up through the typical "PPE/Classics Oxbridge" route with little or no experience of the world outside the Westminster village.
What a shock...considering the EU is a subversive communist/globalist entity who don't want their "behind the curtain" manipulations made public. They only wave the "we are on YOUR side flag" when it suits them. If they were truly "on your side" then why did they allow allow the "refugee" invasion to happen?
