Distortion of facts
Moreover, the damage will only increase if those measures seriously infringe our fundamental rights. After all, that that is what the European Commission wants to do by breaking down end-to-end encryption. One of the claims of the European Commission makes is that material with sexual abuse of children is being shared less on websites, and increasingly in chats. These chats are encrypted in such a way that no one but the sender and recipient can read the messages (end-to-end). That is why the legislator wants to force platforms to look over the shoulders of their users. However, the very premise that more material is shared via chats is insufficiently substantiated, according to the researchers. Such harsh surveillance measures cannot truly be justified anyway, but it is even worse if it happens based on distorted facts.
