Backdoors that let cops decrypt messages violate human rights, EU court says

One of comments about the title:

"Contrary to what the headline says, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, is not an EU court. It is part of the Council of Europe, which is older than the EU and has more members, and is mainly concerned with human rights related issues.

The EU has its own Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Luxembourg.

Edit: just to add, the article gets all the nuances right and refers to the Council of Europe and even to possible endorsement by the CJEU, so the problem is only with the headline."
