On Thursday October 26th, MEPs in the European Parliament held press conferences outlining the compromises reached within the EU Parliament negotiators on the controversial Chat Control proposal.

Thankfully it appears that progress is being made in the fight to preserve privacy. According to MEPs, Parliamentarians have agreed to remove the clauses that would give law enforcement the power to demand end-to-end encrypted platforms hand over users messages, emails, and files as part of criminal investigations.

Mixed emotions here. News like this is great to see, and at the same time the fact that since Brexit Britain is going in the opposite direction depresses the hell out of me.

Which clues us in on why Britain wanted to leave. Those in power want more power over their domain, and that includes privacy invasive regulations and laws.
