What happens if the proposed EU chat control regulation passes?

This series of news reports and press releases imagines the first year of cascading consequences.

It illustrates how the well-intentioned-but-flawed proposal will make detecting child abuse imagery more difficult while harming innocent people, national security, and the EU’s digital sovereignty.

Stories from the first year of chat control

A premonition of the disastrous year after the EU approves chat control—and what we can do to stop it today.

MEPs on the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs will meet with outgoing EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson this afternoon.

Send them a link to my article (in thread earlier) imagining the first year of cascading consequences if chat control becomes law.

dnip, the top Schweizer (Swiss) magazine for tech journalism, published my article about the EU’s proposed chat control regulation in Deutsch (German).

@marcel not only translated, but contributed back to the original English version.

Deutsch is the second most-known language in the EU and one of the 3 official procedural languages. I am still searching for a French publication to do a translation to get all 3.
