EU Parliament greenlights Chat Control 1.0 – Breyer: “Our children lose out”
Summary
Today the European Parliament allowed the interim Chat Control 1.0 regulation to pass, permitting mass scanning of private communications until 2028. The article quotes Breyer describing this as undemocratic and a loss for children's protection, while noting encrypted messages receive limited exemption. It also outlines ongoing negotiations for a permanent CSAM regulation (Chat Control 2.0) focused on targeted detection and security-by-design measures, arguing that the current approach persists due to political stalemate.
