The Hungarian presidency in the Council of the EU has proposed another text for the #ChatControl file. It is to be discussed by the law enforcement working party in Council on Monday (23 September).
Experts widely criticise Chat Control e.g. for attacking #E2EE, IT-security and violating (European) fundamental rights.
The #GlobalEncryptionCoalition now warns that the Hungarian proposal fails to resolve the problems of the regulation and calls on governments to reject it:

in reply to Freedom not Fear

Meeting notes, leaked to and published by @netzpolitik_feed (German), show that the Council's own legal service warns that the new proposal by Hungary does not solve the previously criticised incompatibility of the #ChatControl file with European law.
