"EU government ambassadors set to adopt #ChatControl negotiating mandate tomorrow without discussion, including "voluntary" mass scanning and anonymity-destroying age verification."
Chat controls. Again?
How can this even be legal? -- to try and try and try ... against all odds.
Doesn't make any sense to discuss that on a bi-yearly basis.
The text was watered down, and hopefully it will not clear parliament in any meaningful way. As a dane I wonder if our social democrats are so gong-ho for law this to compensate for the fact that the former king maker in the party was recently jailed on pedophelia charges. But I think they just have a power fetisch.
There's people saying that the 'watered down' version is kinda the same. I lack the legal knowledge to verify but as I understand it, it no longer mandates scanning content, but it does allow it 'voluntarily' and it does mandate that big providers do something against csam, which can only be done... by scanning content. So it's the same proposal just in a more roundabout way.
Also it requires everyone to ID themselves in chat apps so that they can be determined to not be a minor which will kill anonymous chatting :(

This is quite naive. These people know what they are doing and it isn't too uncommon to consider certain packages of law multiple times.
Privacy or bust.
