To quote the article’s introduction:

The End of the Privacy of Digital Correspondence

The EU Commission proposes to oblige providers to search all private chats, messages, and emails automatically for suspicious content – generally and indiscriminately. The stated aim: To prosecute child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). The result: Mass surveillance by means of fully automated real-time surveillance of messaging and chats and the end of privacy of digital correspondence.

Other aspects of the proposal include ineffective network blocking, screening of personal cloud storage including private photos, mandatory age verification resulting in the end of anonymous communication, appstore censorship and excluding minors from the digital world.

    Who is pushing for this? Is there any real chance that this will get adopted? I see a lot of scare articles, but this can either be some pearl-clutching circlejerk with marginal support and no hope of passing or something truly dangerous.

      I only got a german source at hand atm (I’ll check for another one in english later).

      The map included in this article shows the current stance of each EU member.

      Map legend translated: This is how the EU states stand on chat control: red for, green against, yellow still examines, white still unclear/no position.
