Monday, June 29 could become a defining day for online privacy in Europe.

The EU's final trilogue on Chat Control 2.0 could decide the future of one of the bloc's most controversial surveillance proposals. Critics warn it could pave the way for mandatory message scanning, encryption backdoors, and unprecedented access to private communications and potentially affecting apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram.

The decision won't just impact Europe. It could shape the future of encrypted messaging and digital privacy worldwide.

There are always workarounds.
The issue is that most people will not go through these steps, so it just becomes the new normal. Everyone loses their privacy and the few that fight back are then labeled as contrarian and monitored/harassed. Wonderful world
