Because it allows law enforcement agencies and intelligence services to do their work.

oh man ... it's so wrong on so many levels ...

first of all it's not true, law enforcement are already doing their work today without chat control.

In case we have massive chat control, do you really expect criminals to send plain text messages via whatsapp/telegram/ecc? They will use custom-made solutions(btw they are already using them ...) to circumvent the chat control.

Even if they will be forced to use whatsapp, they can easily add an extra layer of encryption that will totally circumvent the chat control ... and the only thing we will have are governants able to know every single aspect of our life ...

That they presently have no problems doing without this crap, so proving that they don't need it.
