Chat Control is back, but slightly changed:

❌ No backdoor of encryption
❌ No forced scanning
🚨 But: Age verification (no anonymity)

The update just quietly passed in the EU Council & now needs to be discussed with the EU Parliament.

πŸ‘οΈBig Techs like #Gmail and #WhatsApp will continue to scan your data.

Will you keep fighting against #ChatControl?

Fighting against Chat Control should be everyone's priority right now most than ever since 2022!

Unfortunately, content about it is being censored on social media such as Facebook, were accounts were suspended for posting information about it... Denmark is doing their best to force any chance of votes from MEPs at their favor (as they did to pass it...) and to do it without citizens even noticing.

So if I understand correctly, under the current proposal, if I wish to continue to use say Signal or WhatsApp to have video chats with my life partner I will need to verify my age and expect to have any communications scanned by the service providers.

But making a phone call to the same person from a dumb phone will not?

Or does the EU proposal want to extend age verification and the voluntary scanning of communications to more traditional telephony systems as well?
