Giant bureaucracies like the EU will always abuse their power in order to get... more power. The EU basically wants to turn every device into a spying device by installing backdoors everywhere, on computer's cameras, microphones,... what the EU commission doesn't get is that backdoors can be hacked by criminal or foreign hostile entities as well...

Absolutely nothing justifies this. EU governments already have all the tools at their disposal to fight criminals of all kinds, so mass surveillance becomes are pretext, it's more likely to be used against political opponents than anything else IMHO...
