About this listen

After years of controversy, EU member states have agreed on a revised position for the "Chat Control" regulation that drops mandatory mass scanning but introduces a framework for "voluntary" detection of private messages. Privacy advocates and security experts warn that this new "risk mitigation" approach, coupled with mandatory age verification, could still effectively force platforms to implement surveillance infrastructure and end online anonymity. As the proposal moves to final negotiations, a significant clash looms between the Council’s push for monitoring and the European Parliament’s desire to protect end-to-end encryption and fundamental rights.
