EU's 'chat control' plan is back: Critics warn it could allow governments to scan your private message
Privacy advocates warn of potential overreach as EU revisits controversial messaging regulations.
The European Union's controversial 'Chat Control' proposal is back on the agenda after fresh negotiations this week, bringing back discussions over whether governments should be able to scan private messages in the name of child protection.
Ahead of a crucial round of talks on Monday, former Member of the European Parliament Patrick Breyer warned that the latest developments could pave the way for widespread monitoring of encrypted communications if the proposed rules move forward...
Critics argue that the proposal goes far beyond targeting illegal material already known to authorities. In its strongest form, they warn that it could allow governments to issue detection orders requiring companies to scan private messages, even without a judicial warrant.

You're being too kind.
Post title should really say "They never give up", and of course there's no question of "could allow government to scan your private messages. There is no "could" about it, that's the exact design intention. All this guff about child protection is just a smokescreen.
