In case you don't know what 1.0 does:

Also important to note I think is that Chat Control 1.0 was enacted in July 2021. It was meant to be a temporary stop-gap solution until CSAR aka Chat Control 2.0 would be negotiated as a more permanent solution. 1.0 already got extended in 2024 to April 2026 when CSAR wasn't progressing.
So they just reinstated the temporary solution that has already been there for 5 years.
This is important. Basically, nothing changes. The parties that wanted to (Meta, Google, Microsoft) have already been doing it for the last 5 years.
I'm not defending it, I've been screaming about it every time 2.0 was discussed, especially with people who I know refuse to move away from M$ and Meta, but apparently they don't care that much.
I just hope they will settle on 1.0 passing and fuck off with it being mandatory, so I have at least some place to chat and keep my data.
AKA: it does in fact impact E2EE because it allow a thirdy party to read the messages in plain text which E2EE does not like
What third party? It says "providers". So WhatsApp can scan messages you send in WhatsApp. Who's the third party here?
BTW no provider is doing this.
The thirdy part IS whatsapp, thirdy party here is meant from the POV of a conversation, i never invited whatsapp in my convo duh
You didn't install WhatsApp, add contacts to it and type you messages in it and it's still scanning them? Crazy shit.
No provider is doing this. WINK WINK
Which ones are?
It's so outdated that it's talking specifically about Skype even though it hasn't been a thing for a couple of years now
Finally, somebody is thinking about the children!
