Article is from a renowned german IT centric media outlet. Topic is a new ruling that allows for government spying through trojan horses on the press. This ruling is highly alarming.

Paternalism

You cannot restrict and reduce restriction at the same time. Instead just restrict everyone, for their own safety.

In multiple ways, contrary to the US and I think the EU is currently doing the best job of them all.

I mean you can totally not try to end P2P encryption or allow espionage against journalists by gov agencies. There is nothing power hunger driving them to do so
