Monday, June 29 could become a defining day for online privacy in Europe.
The EU's final trilogue on Chat Control 2.0 could decide the future of one of the bloc's most controversial surveillance proposals. Critics warn it could pave the way for mandatory message scanning, encryption backdoors, and unprecedented access to private communications and potentially affecting apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram.
The decision won't just impact Europe. It could shape the future of encrypted messaging and digital privacy worldwide.

"Pfft. I have nothing to hide...."
But if I did, I wouldn't be using any of these (likely) already backdoored ecosystems anyway.

Contrary to popular belief. Chat control never went away. They've been planning to re-introduce it after both times it was stopped
the EU has too much power and it needs to be disbanded
