Most rights are held in balance, as you describe.

However, mass surveillance cannot reasonably be held in balance with detection of crimes, as most people are not criminals





It's not that I like chat control or think that mass surveillance can lead to any good.

What I'm saying, is -- just because the balance isn't where you want it to be, and the policy is bad, that alone doesn't mean the law is unconstitutional, against the EU treaties or ECHR or should be impossible to pass through the legislative.

It's just bad because it's bad.
