🇩🇰 ❌ ✉️ — Denmark wants to ban encrypted Telegram, Signal chats

The country’s Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, said he would “very much like” to block encrypted messaging services amidst skyrocketing gang-related crime.

End-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging services have become so good that authorities are scrambling to keep up. Authorities from Sweden and Denmark complain it has been getting harder and harder to catch up with criminals as many utilize encrypted messaging services to access new recruits, Denmark’s daily, bt.dk, reported.

According to Sweden’s Minister of Justice, members of criminal gangs hide under the protection of E2EE, weakening authorities’ ability to monitor the gangs.

Moreover, apps such as Telegram facilitate payments that allow criminals to better organize themselves.

Meanwhile, Denmark’s Minister of Justice Hummelgaard suggested increasing the pressure on E2EE providers even further by geoblocking popular apps such as Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp to prevent criminals from enjoying a digital safe haven.

Interestingly, investigative journalists at Denmark’s frihedsbrevet.dk discovered that at least 70 members of the Danish parliament use encrypted messaging services themselves. Ironically, Hummelgaard was among the users of E2EE platforms he proposed to ban.
