The only good thing is that end-to-end encrypted messaging services such as Signal are temporarily safe. However, this law fundamentally threatens encryption and citizen safety. There is something you can do about that:

    Ok, the links are next to each other so they look like one. So the other one talks about connections to AI companies that would sell tech used by Chat Control 2.0. This is kind of obvious. EU is not immune to lobbying and different companies are involved in pretty much everything it does. How much influence they have is a separate issue.

    Well, the idea is that if the creation is prevented, the spreading will solve itself

    You will not prevent creation with “stronger defaults”. Not all CSAM is created online. AI is/will be new source of it that will not be stopped by Chat Control. A lot of CSAM already exists. So the idea that just by preventing grooming we will stop all CSAM is silly, we will only stop some of it. So what can actually be done about using e2e encrypted apps to share CSAM? I see two options: do nothing or scan client side. What other options are there? Besides breaking e2ee obviously. So at this point I see it as EP saying “let’s include it in the solution” and privacy activists saying “no, let’s ignore it”.

    Because the initial proposals from the Council and Commission more or less were mass surveillance.

    Agree. Sadly people don’t understand what happened and the conversation got stuck. People are still opposing something that is no longer on the table instead of thinking about real solutions. This is bad because it’s not bringing us closer to a compromise. It just helps to spread misinformation and weakens EU as a whole.
