Encryption Under Attack: Why Governments Keep Trying to Break It!

Governments have been trying to break encryption for decades, and now the EU is at it again with the Chat Control bill. This law would allow AI to scan private encrypted messages, supposedly for security, but history tells us that once encryption is weakened, no one is safe.

I saw this fight firsthand in 1993, when the government pushed the Clipper Chip, a backdoor into encrypted communications. I even spoke with my Congressman about the dangers—back then, we won and stopped it. But now, the fight is back, and the stakes are even higher.

💡 Encryption matters. If governments can read your messages, so can hackers, foreign spies, and criminals. There’s no such thing as a “safe” backdoor.

🔥 Will we stop them again, or is this the beginning of the end for digital privacy?
