EU's Controversial 'Chat Control' Bill: Privacy vs. Child Sexual Abuse

The EU is set to debate a controversial 'Chat Control' bill aimed at combating child sexual abuse by mandating the scanning of user content or bypassing encryption. However, the bill has drawn fierce opposition from security experts who deem it unworkable, highly intrusive, and prone to a high rate of false positives, potentially leading to a national security disaster. Several encrypted messaging apps have vowed to fight the bill legally or relocate outside the EU. The German delegation may seek a delay, leaving the bill's fate uncertain.
