France is pushing to mandate encryption backdoors; forcing apps like WhatsApp and Signal to break security for police access. This “Narcotrafic” law is one of the most extreme surveillance attacks in EU history.
The law demands messaging services decrypt conversations of suspected drug traffickers within 72 hours or face massive fines — €1.5M per individual, 2% of global revenue for companies.
If passed, this kills privacy in France. It sets a dangerous precedent for the entire EU.
Encryption isn’t a crime; but surveillance at this scale should be.
