Chat Control is not dead. The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos
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.


Yes, I’m a bit less worried about chat control “1.0” as it at least still allows one to choose services that don’t participate (I seem to recall reading somewhere that no encrypted services actually reported anything under 1.0 but have no source for it). Of course it is still not good.
Biggest problem is that they are also discussing chat control 2.0 that would force privacy focussed apps to basically shut down or comply.
