I don't think if that comes through that they will have it easier to bust criminal activity. If someone wants to hide in the internat they can. The internet isn't a country where you can setup rules. Of course can they get access to messaging apps like Whatsapp or Signal but for communities that aren't a company won't that work out. They can't just make end-to-end encryption ilegal. If they stop Signal or Whatsapp feom end-to-end encrypting many people will go to services that do that and can't be controlled by governments.
Criminals will easily be able to encrypt their stuff using readily available mechanisms. Common people will get surveillance imposed on them. These legislators should learn from gun control.
Normal law abiding citizens don't get guns because it's illigal, criminals still walk around with AK47's and grenade launchers in brussels.
Just to draw a parallel...
Exactly. When it's criminal to have privacy, only criminals will have privacy. And privacy is security.
I'm so sick technological illiterate law makers.
