🇪🇺 #Urgent | Chat Control: The Big Brother with which the EU could spy on everyone’s messages without a court order The European Union is on the verge of approving one of the most intrusive pieces of legislation in its recent history: the controversial Chat Control. Under the pretext of fighting child abuse, the Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen is pushing a regulation that would force platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or Messenger to automatically scan every message, photo, or video sent by European citizens. Presented as an alleged protection tool, the project would open the door to something far more alarming: the total breakdown of digital privacy. By requiring the end of end-to-end encryption, all devices would be exposed to security flaws, vulnerabilities, hacks, and unauthorized access. Europe would shift to an unprecedented model of mass surveillance, where every citizen is treated as a suspect. Meanwhile, the regulation contains a revealing exception: government communications would be exempt from scanning, creating a troubling “two-speed privacy.” Although Germany temporarily halted its adoption, the proposal is still alive. And if it is eventually approved, Europe will have to choose between two paths: a free society or one overseen from Brussels, where the State can peer behind every screen. The battle over our digital future has only just begun.
