> EU’s at it again
They’re pushing something called “Chat Control”, officially the Child Sexual Abuse Regulation.
Sounds good, right? “Protect the kids.” Classic move.
What it actually does: forces all messaging apps — WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Gmail, everything — to scan every single message, image, and video you send.
And the scan happens before encryption.
Yeah, even your “private” end-to-end chats get read on your own phone before being sent.

So basically your device becomes a government spy.
No warrant, no suspicion, no reason — just everyone under surveillance by default.

> “But I’ve got nothing to hide!”
Cool. Then you’ve got nothing left to protect either.
Privacy isn’t about hiding, it’s about being free to speak and think without being watched.
The worst part? These detection systems suck.
False positives everywhere — normal pics, memes, jokes, flagged as “illegal.”
Once that happens, random people can look through your stuff.

And once you accept this kind of scanning “for safety,” you’ve already lost.
Today it’s about pedos.
Tomorrow it’s about “terrorists.”
Next week it’s about “fake news.”
Step by step, every private space online is gone.

Also, these systems create backdoors — holes that hackers, governments, anyone can exploit.
All in the name of “safety.”

They’re literally voting on this right now in the EU Parliament.
If it passes, encryption is dead.

Not a conspiracy. It’s all in the official proposal.

But who’s protecting us from them?
