Denmark's push to block encrypted apps fuels debate over privacy vs. surveillance, with critics calling out the hypocrisy of those in power.
You could say that for everyone pushing for an encryption ban. If they use whatsapp, encryption, if they use https websites, encryption. Banning encryption is nigh impossible, it's like trying to ban prime numbers. What they'll actually do is get even easier backdoors and criminalise the masses that use it while still using it themselves.
They don't want to ban encryption, they want to block encrypted chat apps, precisely so they don't have to build backdoors. AFAIK it's not possible to break signal/WhatsApp encryption without access to the targeted device, and once you have access you can get the messages directly without having to break the encryption.
Do we know if the WhatsApp encryption is not breakable, if yes how? It could maybe have backdoors inside
I guess it could, as we have to take meta's word for it, and a quick google search hasn't turned up any independent security audit.
Let the Elites keep their privacy, and the Peasants their pitchforks.

This kind of thing just confirms how it's really all about the Power elites keeping an eye out on the plebes trying to organise and change things so that they can kill any such things in the early stages.
Democracy was supposed to slowly bring Autocracies around to its way of doing things but instead what we're seing is the very opposite of that.
European aristocracy is scared of the working class. They will tremble...! < Bolshevik chorus swells >
