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.
