> In 2026, the Commission will present a Technology Roadmap on encryption to identify and evaluate solutions that enable lawful access to encrypted data by law enforcement, while safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.
There is no such thing as a secure backdoor, so I wonder how they will "safeguard cybersecurity" (hint: they won't).

Don't worry, this is fine because backdoors will only be used to spy against right wing people and parties or those engaging in hate speech, so you have nothing to fear if you're on their side and only say government approved things. This is the only way we can fight fascism.

Historical the European governments have been much more focused in left wing organizations, going so far as under cover agents fathering children with left wing activists and than vanishing.
So you're pointing out one unrelated article from the UK gov actions of 1986 on a NGO as proof that EU is somehow anti-left politics? lol If you knew the UK gov, they don't like communism and communists especially during Thatcher, so any such NGOs would de under scrutiny, but that's a different issue than left wing politics.
How about looking at EU's polices and behavior as a whole and see where they are.
Why are European governments like Germany and France banning right wing candidates from elections, authorizing the use of spyware on them, or forming a "cordon sanitaire" around them even though most of their policies are the common sense left wing ones of the 1990s (no illegal immigration, strict legal immigration)?
EU today is by and large ideologically captured by super left wing and against anything remotely right.

The EU is literally run by a right-wing commission, with the commission president from a right-wing party.
The last left-wing commission president was Jacques Delors in 1995 (!).

Things have changed in forty years, you know. The pendulum is back on the other side.

It is not. The EU is run by the right wing and has for the past thirty years. Please do not spread misinformation.

The… progressive, interventionist, feminist, equalitarianist, socialist right wing. Yes.

What are you talking about?
The Comission president is from the CDU, a right-wing party.
The Parliament president is from the Maltese Nationalist Party, a right-wing party.
The Parliament has a right-wing majority.
Where are those scary socialists?

The CDU is a progressive, tax-raising party. Nothing right wing about it. I don’t know the rest. All the parties in Europe that were traditionally understood as right wing have moved to the left at neck breaking speed. That’s why actual right wing parties have appeared to fill the spot that was left by those parties, which is what the media now calls the rise of fascism.

The CDU is a progressive party? That's just being facetious.
Though I suppose if you're at the very extreme right, even moderate right wing starts to look like left wing extremism.

A party that, for instance, defends same-sex marriage is not progressive? What is it then?
I haven’t moved one iota in decades, it’s the right wing parties that have moved to the left. If that puts me at the extreme, what can I do.

A progressive party would for example argue for major wealth redistribution towards the less fortunate.
A left-wing party might even argue towards workers owning the means of production.
The CDU argues in the interests of established capitalists, you know, the thing that the right-wing does.
