A European Parliament committee wants end-to-end encryption to be enforced on all forms of digital communication to protect European Union (EU) citizens. The draft legislation seeks to protect sensitive personal data from hacking and government surveillance. EU citizens are entitled to personal privacy and this extends to online communications, the committee argues. A ban on "backdoors" into encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram is also being considered.
[...] "The principle of confidentiality should apply to current and future means of communication, including calls, internet access, instant messaging applications, email, internet phone calls and personal messaging provided through social media," said a draft proposal from the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice, and Home Affairs.

> Christians also practice infant MGM.
That is not a Christian thing though, that is a US thing, done to all who are Christian, or something else (or nothing at all). Nothing to do with the Christian religion. AFAIK it isn't done anywhere else but the US for non-religious reasons.

I was circumcised for no good reason at all. My parents are not religious. Team USA!

That's correct. Here in the UK at least, it would be very unusual for Christian or non-religious parents to have their baby boy circumcised (except of course where it's medically necessary).
