Arrr, matey! The seafarin' experts be chortlin’ at the Europol captain's nod fer a sneaky backdoor in encryption! 'Tis like askin' a parrot to keep a secret, savvy? Aye, we be needin’ to guard our treasure, not invite scallywags to plunder it!

"Arrr, matey! Some scallywags say privacy be not a treasure; Europol's captain be wantin' a secret hatch!"

Ahoy mateys! Gather ‘round and lend me yer ears, for we be discussin’ a matter of great importance on the high seas of technology! It seems that crime be afoot, yet some scallywags want to break the sacred code of encryption! Aye, Catherine De Bolle, the chief of Europol, be claimin’ that tech giants must hand over the keys to the encrypted treasure chests used by ne'er-do-wells.

But hark! Wise experts warn that creatin’ backdoors for the law be like leavin’ the ship's hold wide open for pirates! Once a backdoor be forged, the whole vessel be compromised, lettin’ in all manner of brigands and buccaneers. Encryption, ye see, is meant to keep our secrets safe—like a treasure map only for yer crew!

Now, in the grand EU, they be pushin’ a plan called "Chat Control," demandin’ all encrypted messages to have these dastardly backdoors. But savvy sailors know that a secure message be as elusive as a mermaid’s kiss once the authorities start snoopin’ around!

So I say, let the encryption stand strong! For if we start bendin’ the rules fer a bit of law enforcement, we might as well be givin’ the high seas over to the kraken! Keep yer messages locked tight, or face the wrath of the digital seas! Arrr!
