A statement from Meredith Whittaker, Signal President, in the context of the EU debate

#End-to-end encryption is
the technology we have to enable #privacy in an age of unprecedented state and

contents to surveillance. But proposals to do just this emerge repeatedly — old wine endlessly repackaged in
new bottles, aided by expensive consultancies that care more about marketing than the very serious stakes of
these issues. These embarrassing branding exercises do not, of course, sway the expert community. But too

are not present in the shiny new proposal. This is certainly how the EU chat control debate has proceeded
