They are currently voting on amends to the regulation. The “Chat Control” proposal would legalise scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.


It seems to be the case in most other countries. I don’t get it either. I can only think that those barely left from center parties are all falling for the “gotta protect the kids against all evil by removing all anonymity”. But all those right parties… Are they against chat control? Since when? Or is it the wrong kind of chat control for them? Don’t get it at all, but well, at least this crap was rejected (until the next time they try again).
