    The title is misleading.

    This is still happening, unfortunately, even using the same excuse of child exploitation as always. The main mass-surveillance and age verifications are still in there.

    from https://fightchatcontrol.eu/:

    Thanks to public pressure, the Danish Presidency has been forced to revise its text, explicitly stating that any detection obligations are voluntary. While much better, the text continues to both (a) effectively outlaw anonymous communication through mandatory age verification; and (b) include planned voluntary mass scannings. The Council is expected to formally adopt its position on Chat Control the 18th or 19th of November. Trilogue with the European Parliament will commence soon after.

      This is not good news, rather a temporary lack of bad news. This shit has been tries like 10 times already, and I bet it will be tried again and again until it passes in some form.
