While the latest #ChatControl proposal didn't proceed to a vote, the proponents of the interception of all chat traffic will undoubtedly continue their efforts to get the law passed - like they have for years now. It will resurface shortly, disguised and modified but effectively pushing for the same end result: removal of end-to-end encryption.We must stay vigilant and continue to fight for our freedoms.#StopChatcontrol #privacy

#ChatControl is now masked as "Risk Mitigation": "Officially, explicit scanning obligations have been dropped. But a loophole in Article 4 of the new draft obliges providers of e-mail, chat and messenger services like WhatsApp to take β€œall appropriate risk mitigation measures.” This means they can still be forced to scan all private messages – including on end-to-end encrypted services.β€œThe loophole renders the much-praised removal of detection orders worthless and negates their supposed voluntary nature,” says Breyer. β€œEven client-side scanning (CSS) on our smartphones could soon become mandatory – the end of secure encryption.”"source: patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-cont#stopchatcontrol #privacy
