Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol

PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement's ability to intercept and monitor communications

Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.

Endemic end-to-end encryption just means that everyone is now protected from interception.

I’ve been using PGP and friends since the 90s. Most people who LE should be targeting for investigation have likewise been using strong encryption since the 90s.

Most cases get a break due to the failure of opsec or due to chance or standard gruelling detective work and the fact that people are social animals.

So what exactly is Europol arguing here?
