As part of its efforts, the bloc has repeatedly introduced its Chat Control legislation, aimed at weakening the encryption that protects messaging services and force providers to provide a client-side backdoor for law enforcement.

When did they sneak this past I though it was thrown out like 20 times

It didn't pass. Its just, they keep trying to push for it, but thankfully some countries are still shutting it down.

Politicians, parties and even countries should be penalized for repeatedly bringing it up just to be shut down. It‘s a waste of time and waste of money. Things like that shouldn‘t be voted on for at least another 4 years once shut down. And no, just changing the wording doesn‘t make a proposal unique. A big brother law is still a big brother law.

Also politicians should just permanently be ineligible as office holders if they bring up crypto war topics again. Like adding backdoors to cryptography "just for the good guys". People that stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the laws of nature just don't deserve the right to be voted into office.

I agree with you thoroughly.
