ChatControl Passed in the EU apparently using the bullshit excuse that it's on voluntary basis. Make no mistake, making it compulsory is very easy from there on: https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/chat-control-eu-lawmakers-finally-agree-on-the-voluntary-scanning-of-your-private-chats

1/5📍 #ChatControl: Today, following a lot of public pressure, representatives of the EU member states have finally agreed on their position to remove arguably the most controversial part of the #CSARegulation: the requirement for message and email services to scan users' private communications.
🔑 This is a key development. We, along with hundreds of experts, have criticised this part of the law for undermining the presumption of innocence and posing an existential threat to #encryption.
4/5 🚫 The Council's text also requires providers of many different online services to take steps to mitigate the risks posed by their platforms.
Sounds great in theory but providers could be forced to take measures which may create more harms such as forcing private messages (chats, emails etc.), app stores, and others deemed "risky" to use age verification or assessment tools. This can undermine hashtag#privacy and pose a major chilling effect on people's freedoms.
5/5 ✊🏾We will continue to call on our lawmakers to ensure that the final #CSARegulation protects children while being compatible with #FundamentalRights, protecting encrypted communications, and not forcing the widespread use of unreliable and data-hungry age verification tools.
