Arrr, matey! If ye think “lawful access by design” be anythin’ but “insecurity by design,” ye be walkin’ the plank! So hoist yer sails and pay heed, for here be the treasure of knowledge ye seek!
Avast ye scallywags! The fine folk o' the European Union be cookin' up a scheme to turn every digital contraption into a spyglass, watchin' yer every move like a hawk on a treasure map! A ruckus has arisen amongst a band o' 55 landlubber groups and tech wizards, warnin' that this plan be a treacherous path to mass surveillance and a breach o' privacy, like lettin' the kraken loose in a crowded tavern!These experts be raisin' their voices, claimin' the scheme brewed behind closed doors be as shady as a ghost ship in the fog. The "Going Dark" initiative be aim'n to make all yer devices—smartphones, smart homes, even yer trusty ship—perpetually monitorable by the law, which they argue be a recipe fer disaster, not security!
They say it's like askin' a pirate to drop anchor whilst searchin' for gold; it weakens every lock and key! The dreaded "backdoor" mechanisms meant for the law can be seen as open invitations fer unsavory characters to plunder yer secrets.
With another bill brewin' on the horizon, called the Child Sexual Abuse Regulation or "Chat Control" by its critics, the debate rages on. Lawmakers be in a pickle, tryin' to balance the scales of justice without tossin' privacy overboard. Arrr, a tricky endeavor indeed!
