🇪🇺EU #ChatControl is NOT defeated yet! In an open letter top scientists warn the new proposal still poses "high risks" with flawed 'voluntary' AI mass scanning & invasive age checks. Italy & Poland have reservations, too: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-chat-control-proposal-still-poses-high-risks-despite-removal-of-mandatory-scanning-experts-warn/

Important update Thanks to the sheer volume of citizens raising their voices in opposition, the Danish Presidency has been forced to update its Chat Control compromise text to include the following recital:  "(17a) Nothing in this Regulation should be understood as imposing any detection obligations on providers."   The final proposal 15318/25 containing recital 17a is now heading for Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations). Once approved, the position formally adopted by Council will thus exclude mandatory scanning. Council is expected to officially adopt its position the 18th or 19th. We should then expect trilogue to commence. Next steps While this presents a “quick fix” in response to public pressure that legally is not a good solution, it is a much better position than before and one that can be worked with. The multiple flaws and inconsistencies that remain (e.g. mandatory age verification effectively outlawing anonymous communication and planned “voluntary” mass scanning) can be amended during trilogue with the European Parliament. While Danish Minister of Justice and Chief Architect of Chat Control Peter Hummelgaard, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, are likely to attempt an expedited process, a deal is unlikely to be reached in December. They will likely try to complete the deal in Q1 of 2026. As negotiations commence, contact your MEPs and let them know how you would like them to vote and protect your codified rights to privacy.

@gamiel @echo_pbreyer This is not yet known. Given the legislation and the political sensitivity, it is likely Coreper II. They have meetings the 19th, 26th, and 3rd of December. Coreper I meets more frequently with the next three being scheduled for the 14th, 19th, and 21st.

@jani Hi Jani! That, unfortunately, is what would happen by outlawing anonymous communication. Please have a look at @echo_pbreyer's analysis via https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-control-2-0-through-the-back-door-breyer-warns-the-eu-is-playing-us-for-fools-now-theyre-scanning-our-texts-and-banning-teens/ for more information.

What happened today?

Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content.

The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox.

What happens next?

The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in.

What now?

We raise our voices. Louder.

@synnef Yes, please send to contact @ fightchatcontrol . eu - thank you!

🇪🇺⚠️ A perfidious trick? The EU Council Presidency wants to introduce mandatory #ChatControl through the backdoor 🚪: An Art. 4 amendment would MANDATE "all reasonable mitigation measures," including scanning, enforced with sanctions! 😡

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.”

Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.

Thank you all for raising your voices!

Since Denmark can attempt another vote in December, it is important to stay vigilant. Both Italy and Sweden remain undecided while France remains supportive despite Chat Control being in direct violation of its Résilience bill explicitly forbidding both forced backdoors and client-side scanning.

Stay engaged!

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

🇪🇺Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level." https://www.bmjv.de/SharedDocs/Zitate/DE/2025/1008_Chatkontrolle.html

This is an important milestone only made possible by all of you actively raising your voices to your MEPs and MPs. THANK YOU! We need to remain vigilant: the Justice and Home Affairs Council is still meeting the 13-14th October.

We need to actively monitor the coming days!

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.
