Leaked government document shows Spain wants to ban end-to-end encryption

Spain has called for an EU ban on end-to-end encrypted services from providers based within the bloc. The information was revealed in a leaked European Council survey about member countries’ views on encryption regulation. The survey shows a majority of the 20 member countries that responded favour some form of scanning of encrypted messages. Some, such as Denmark and Ireland, have expressed support for scanning encrypted messengers, but also endorse the inclusion of wording in the law that protects end-to-end encryption from being weakened.
