In the last few years, the debate between data privacy and lawful interception (LI) has evolved into a more constructive discussion. While police and judicial authorities acting within their power can be prevented from accessing digital evidence by modern privacy-enhancing technologies like end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and Rich Communication Services (RCS) systems, different international initiatives are calling for a balanced approach, where LI can coexist with encryption without undermining cybersecurity and/or privacy. At the same time, a framework to access encrypted communications is steadily taking shape in the EU. As technology advances, finding a balance between individual privacy and collective security remains an ongoing challenge.
