The EU claims it is "thinking of the children" (which sounds a lot like
what religiously conservative Americans often claim), but most opponents
point out that forcing companies to break their encryption is more likely
to be used to spy on citizens, and can also introduce back doors for bad
actors to steal confidential information.

I am going to guess not here.  They probably want the companies to pay for
it.  I suspect that several will quit doing business in the EU if this
becomes reality.
