Very good news. It seems that these attempts are repeating a pattern every two years or so.

ONLY FOR THE MOMENT! In a few weeks these devils will come back again with the same question. "We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back." JEAN CLAUDE JUNKER

eu council vote on chat control was scrapped on october 14, 2023, after germany and others withheld support, failing to reach the qualified majority needed. the proposal stalled without adoption, and eu parliament's libe committee later rejected mass scanning in november 2023, protecting end-to-end encryption for now. ongoing debates continue into 2024. brussels signal
