A loophole in parliamentary procedure allowed MEPs to extend mass scanning of private communications until 2026 — without a direct vote on the substance of the law.
The amended EP position adopts a positive, yet rather cosmetic amendment proposed by the liberal RENEW group that would “exclude communications to which end-to-end encryption is, has been, or will be applied” from the scope of the law.
So if E2EE is excluded, then what is even the point of Chat Control? Seems the EU is just telling everyone explicitly to use E2EE chat if they don’t want to be spied on.
