Patrick Breyer

The EU's Chat Control proposal, which would require messaging platforms to scan private communications for illegal content, is being debated again in EU institutions. Privacy advocates and digital rights campaigners, including MEP Patrick Breyer, are mobilising opposition, directing people to the fightchatcontrol.eu campaign site. Critics argue the measure would undermine end-to-end encryption and privacy for all EU citizens, while supporters push it as a child protection tool.
