‼EU may introduce total surveillance of correspondence — decision in autumn, — Brussels Signal — https://brusselssignal.eu/2025/08/eu-chat-control-law-is-a-step-towards-mass-surveillance/
The European Union has resumed discussions on the resonant Chat Control bill, which provides for mass scanning of citizens' private messages.
Key details:
From July 1, 2025, Denmark led the EU Council and again put the document on the agenda.
The official goal is to combat child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
It is planned to introduce client-side scanning — scanning messages before they are encrypted. This effectively destroys end-to-end encryption, making correspondence transparent for checks.
Experts warn that if adopted, the law will become the largest digital surveillance mechanism in European history.
Previously, a number of EU countries blocked the initiative, but now the positions of some of them have changed.
The final decision is planned to be made on October 14, 2025.
