My question is: even if EU manages to apply laws for backdooring encryption, wouldn’t cybercriminals just use different tools? They may force Signal to backdoor its encryption, but what about Briar? Will they backdoor the Tor network? Will they ban it entirely? What about Matrix? They can’t prevent offshore encrypted instances.

Bingo! It’s simply surveillance of the masses.
Signal said they will just pull out of any country that demands a back door.
Back doors don’t work. Just ask American telecom companies to talk about how easy it was to get Salt Typhoon out of their back door.
