Reality Check: EU Council Chat Control Vote is Not a Retreat, But a
Green Light for Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance and the End of Right to Communicate Anonymously

'The headlines are misleading: Chat Control is not dead, it is just
being privatized,' warns Patrick Breyer. 'What the Council endorsed
today is a Trojan Horse. By cementing ‘voluntary’ mass scanning, they
are legitimizing the warrantless, error-prone mass surveillance of
millions of Europeans by US corporations, while simultaneously killing
online anonymity through the backdoor of age verification.'
