Just to make things clear, the pirate party isn't directly related to piracy. There are ongoing efforts to render end-to-end encryption illegal in Europe as we speak. Dark times are coming
I can't imagine how you stop all end to end encryption across a continent while you're exiting the continent-wide governing body.
Who's exiting? They will just ban any non-compliant messaging app
They whom? Is every country going to have it's own national firewall, complete with highly sophisticated SMS-only encryption detecting service?
The EU plans to do so and as such every member must follow it.
And once encryption is criminalized, it can be trivially detected - or at least assumed to be encrypted if your message is sufficiently random.
A bunch of these alt-right parties are anti-EU
Doesn't change anything at all
By law, simply making it illegal as is being worked on.
