I was wondering if the Europeans had an equivalent of EPIC or EFF lobbying against crypto restrictions there, given the disturbing news a week or so ago.
There are a few groups in Europe (Privacy International is based in UK, Argedaten in Austria, CLI in Spain, misc EF-X) but none of them are as organized as their US counterparts. However, there are also Privacy Commissions in every country who are also friends to the battle. There was quite a bit of discussion at their last meeting in Copenhagen last month on crypto and the Denmark and Ontario, CA Privacy Commissions just came out with a joint report on crpyto that we are working on scanning in and making available on our web page.
