EU is planning a new mass surveillance law that includes mandating data retention, built-in backdoors, sanctioning non-compliant services 🕵🏻🇪🇺

This surveillance law would ban VPNs, messaging apps and all services that don't spy on users, sanction non-complying providers. 🔏

And the EU is asking you for feedback - so if you live in the EU, please enter the link the below (select it, copy, and paste into the browser's address), press [Give feedback >] and leave your message to make sure they understand how ridiculous this is... 🤦🏻‍♂

Last day to provide feedback is 18 June 2025 (midnight Brussels time).

Yet another reason for not being in the EU.
@Nimbus The UK government will introduce it anyway, they just won't be able to blame the EU quite so easily. Most likely they'll claim they have to implement it in order to trade with EU countries.
