Thanks to more than 100 civil society groups joined us in speaking out against this proposal. So did thousands of individuals who signed the petition demanding that the EU “Stop Scanning Me.”

The LIBE comity has changed it’s stance towards the on device scanning and message scanning.

The text is not final, but scheduled to confirm the new agreement on the 13th of November.

    Parliament’s position on the proposed law will now be against chat control, but the fight is not over: next we have to negotiate with member states. It’s vital we keep the pressure on governments to end this madness.

    I thought they were on to do something with that article 45 that has something to do with CA certificates. When did they go back and decide not to do it?

    end-to-end encryption

    This wording is concerning, although arguably encrypting a file locally offline then decrypting it again is end-to-end too…

      End to end encryption means user to user.

      Not a local storage… Your example is just an encrypted storage, there is no end.

          What this? The user to user or device encryption? From the article, it seems that they stand also against device scanning.

            “This” refers to any other type of encryption. Such as encrypting individual files.
