A leaked draft of the EU's controversial #ChatControl bill proposes scanning all private messages for illegal content, potentially compromising end-to-end encryption.
Key points include:
- AI-powered scanning for suspicious content would be allowed;
- mandatory scanning of all chats for known illegal material;
- messaging platforms like #Signal and #Threema threaten EU withdrawal if forced to comply.
Critics, including former MEP #PatrickBreyer, argue the bill will:
- overwhelm law enforcement with irrelevant data
- fail to protect victims;
- compromise citizens' privacy.
Please consider that:
- EU governments to decide by #September23;
- Interior ministers expected to endorse on #October10;
- Breyer urges EU citizens to pressure governments for rejection
