•More needs to be done, but we canβt flippantly make directives & then make it tech companies problem to implement. You must with *with* them.

•After praising E2E encryption as a fundamental civic right, you're talking about client-side monitoring of messages. These statements are in mutual contradiction.
Also, how are you planning to implement that? Force all the major communication platforms (Facebook, Google, Apple etc.) to implement some form of "background agent" for EU citizens that forwards messages to god-knows-who? That would be a scalability and security nightmare, provided that you guys actually manage to convince a bunch of American companies to invest engineering resources to build such piece of bullshit that nobody needs. Also, all it takes to bypass it is to use an alternative chat client.
Force the major producers of communication apps to share their messages with you upon request? And how are they supposed to do it if the protocols use that E2E that you guys just praised?
Run an agent on every phone sold in the EU that scans all the running apps for new messages? Again, an implementation nightmare in a very fragmented market, and it would also open a huge backfoor for malicious actors.
As an IT professional I see so much bullshit behind this announcement that I'm not sure how any serious political entity could even considering toying with such dumb #chatcontrol ideas.
