As usual the malevolent statists in Brussels care nothing about the rights of the INDIVIDUAL ... just "government, industry, and society", whatever "society" means:

"Encryption is a necessary means of protecting fundamental rights and the digital security of governments, industry and society."

But they did reveal themselves by putting the list in order of importance, with "government" first of course.

The statists around the world are increasingly brazen - out in the open - with their objectives. It's remarkable to watch as they hide their aims less as authoritarianism rises around the world, they feel more comfortable not hiding their ambitions for power and control in the programs they implement.

Which makes sense - the US is gradually going Socialist and the world's other superpower is a Communist dictatorship. The world is about to be pinned between two authoritarian nightmares that presume total power over the individual.
