Chat Control: The EU's CSEM scanner proposal

The article, a campaign page against the EU's Chat Control 2.0 proposal, argues that the Commission's plan would end the privacy of digital correspondence through mass, automated scanning of private chats, messages and emails for child sexual exploitation material. It says the proposal also includes ineffective network blocking, mandatory age verification that would end anonymous communication, and app store restrictions. The page states that the Commission expected reports from chat control to rise by 354%, and that over 80% of consultation respondents opposed applying it to end-to-end encrypted communications. It also reports that the Council's own Legal Service warned that scanning entire parts of a service is likely to be considered general and indiscriminate.
