    … the only alternative left for law enforcement is to issue a European Investigation Order (EIO), but responses for these can take up to 120 days, which isn’t ideal when you want to catch a drug dealer who’s only in the country for a weekend. “A solution to the situation described above is urgently necessary.”…

    Off course they target encryption. Look I understand that it is a drag to actually fix the system… but they should target the 120 day slog of following procedure.

      That’s kinda the purpose, to make it harder for the government to violate your freedoms. Only go after bad guys that are “wait 120 days bad”

        Nah… never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by incompetence.

        And I sort of get where law enforcement is coming from. I just disagree with their solution.

        Now they can just do it easy. If they have to go through another country they might even have to provide a reason that will hold up to scrutiny… Think of the consequences that might have!

    So after they failed cripling chat encryption, they’re gonna target… check note foreign SIM card?
