    I am once again happy that the EU is fighting practices like these via legislation.

    Some outcomes can be annoying, but the net result is still positive, for the consumers and their data privacy at least.

      I'd classify mandatory encryption backdoors as an industry crisis rather than an annoyance.

        When has the EU mandated encryption backdoors?

          They keep trying it via e.g. chat control

            The US has also tried it multiple times. So has Canada. It's been shut down each time. This isn't a unique to the EU problem.

              Didn't UK had "The Snooper's Charter" as well?

              Encryption backdoors is not a case of extending reach for a government, but an effort to get the capabilities back.

              They were able to do that before. They just want to be able to continue now.

              Note: No, I don't support the idea of backdoors. On the contrary.
